I just hope you never need their services

Are you completely and utterly retarded ?

I've clearly stated that I agree with the driver's decision to do what
he did...

The Gatso stuff should have been binned at source

Yes, it should have, I agree 100%

harrasing emergency services is completely rediculous.

Erm, prosecuting someone for having committed a crime is not
"harrassment". The problem is that it should not have been a crime in
the first place, and that's a result of the ****ty legislation.

I think you may find this is just the start and that it will
start a war against Gatsos

Ok, sure. Whatever.

Crime

What the **** - this is life saving not bank robbery

An offense is an offense. It may be a valid and justifiable offense, but
the legislation that the Ambulance Drivers work under makes what he did
an offense.

What a bunch of retards who think the driver should be done.

My thoughts are 'what a retard for not being able to read properly' as
you seem to be quoting something entirely different to what I stated.

I don't think he should be prosecuted, transporting organs in such an
emergency shouldn't be exempted from Ambulance duties. But it *is*
currently exempt and he made the journey *knowing* that he was breaking
the law and hoping that if he got caught that the authorities would let
him off due to the nature of his transgression.

Unfortunately, relying on the 'goodwill' of the Police is never a good
idea at the best of times...

A lot of people say the same about you...

Yeah, I'm one of them.

It is very unfortunate

Also this was aimed at the couple of people who thought he should be done

As to where this ends up in the thread - blaim O/E!!!

Ah, I apologise then - I didn't see anyone say he should be prosecuted.

Get a decent NewsReader then

Careful, he might chastise you out with the full brunt of his superior
education (which is usually just a post that says "Bwahahahaa" or
similiar).

IIRC it was on the A1, early hours in the morning, and only 104Mph,
in a Vectra. I've driven a vectra at an indicated 145mph, and they
are a safe, stable, capable car.

Yup, even my old Cav V6 sat at 140 like it was just doing 70.
In comparison to the turbo, which sits at 70 like it's doing 140

Indeed - a mate of mine's recently bought a 2.6 Carlton (saloon) and
whilst it's no rocketship off the line, it's very happy sitting on
the motorway at 120-130mph.

There are situations where speeding is not acceptable, by anyone.

Motorway, A1 i think, and in the middle of the night IIRC - it was
definately very quiet.

Wasn't it 104mph on dual carriageway A1 at 3am in the morning.

The amusing thing is that a friend of ours was absolutely disgusted at
this speed, saying it was totally unacceptable.

This was one week after he was quite happy doing 40mph in a built up 30mph
zone.

And he/she is still a friend of yours?

Ah. Without being disrespectful to the Carlton 2.6, which I'm sure is
a fine car, that would be *Vauxhall's* 120-130 mph .

esp as ambulance purposes do not require the use of an ambulance,
something which is forgotten by people who can't read legislation
properly

I tell you what, seeing as you can read so "properly", have a go with
this little quote and see if you can comprehend what it means;

"As the law currently stands, there is no exemption from speed
limits for the carriage of blood and human organs. This was
specifically excluded from the legislation by those writing
the law."

Then obviously the law needs changing,

No it doesn't. He's wrong.


rotflmao. Be careful, if you stick your fingers any further down your
ears they'll meet in the middle

The GMB says he committed an offense - it says so on their webpage as
linked to at the start of this thread - that's good enough for me. I'll
take the word of one of the biggest legal organisations in this country
over the word of someone who think's their own opinion is the only one
that matters (that would be you, Mr Huge).

A union? Why should anyone take their word over any other separate
body, including private individuals? I'm not a member of the GMB.
They are nothing to me.

Still, the GMB appears to be appealing on compassionate terms for
mitigating circumstances to be taken into account, which seems to be
too much for you (re. post concerning battered wife and/or dead/dying
child).
