[1] Not unless it's operated by the NHS, which I can't tell from that
photo, but seems unlikely.


So you think it would be morally acceptable to obstruct it?


Not unless it was unavoidable, such as a red traffic light (where you
wouldn't even have the excuse that the Emergency Workers Act had led you
to believe it was OK).

Normally I give a wide range of public service vehicles precedence,
including buses and refuse trucks. But we are discussing the *legal*
situation.



Well you can validly calim you thought it was a mine rescue vehicle, which
is an emergency vehicle. If it isn't then it's breaking the law by having
blue flashing lights fitted.
