Yup, an ambulance service fast response vehicle, staffed by a

incident faster than a full-fat ambulance may be able to get there.

Although probably not in the Yorkshire colours (may have been less
garish).

Unlikely. Green battenburg's fairly standard for ambulance service
nationally.

Paragraph 4.10 in the report Mr Smyth posted says:

The 4 x 4 vehicle was marked clearly as a paramedic vehicle in bold red
and green colouring

And also that it was a Honda CRV, like the one in MIG's picture.

Red and green sounds horrible.

Indeed.

response vehicle...

Huh. It does rather look like that's an error in the report, then.

Haven't found any red and green yet.

Closest is Orange and green (animal ambulance)

or maybe just red (yes there are solid red ambulances too)

Red/green colour-blindness?

Should Colin have a test? This sounds increasingly like a plausible
Rumpole-style defence.

There was an episode about a defendant who was belatedly found to be
illiterate and hence unable to have read and signed his police confession.

Not really, unless he's paramedic-deaf as well. The paramedic told him
he was a paramedic on a call-out.

A roof-rack with coloured lights, and the words "Ambulance" liberally
scattered around the vehicle, wouldn't really support that defence either.

Yeah but if he can't read... see what I'm getting (doggedly) at?

Perhaps it's some sort of 'data-exhaustion' syndrome, with which City
councillors seem to be increasingly afflicted, poor loves.

It's the newspapers that are claiming the paramedic's car was red and
green.

It was the official council investigating commissar's report that did.
Possibly the papers did too, but i haven't looked at those.

"I was approaching the red traffic light, so the Doppler effect made
it appear green." I have a feeling that one may actually have been
tried.
