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. No need to defer to Buses. They simply barge their way past without considering other users. I have always found vehicles with 'twos and blues' VERY well driven by comparison. Even the police, normally total disregarders of the law*, seem to be a bit more careful. *I once tried to keep up with an unmarked jaguar full of uniforms that overtook me on the Sandy road. I lost him at 120mph. As fast as I could go. Single lane road of course. Wasn't chasing a load of Old Bill @ 120 odd on country road asking for a bit of bovver?.. They weren't looking in their rear view mirrors were they? Not much overtakes you at 130mph.. Good job they didn't stop suddenly.. I lost em after a mile or two. And this was on the Road to Sandy.. Wonder no one was slaughtered !... Oh in those days..what..mid 80's - it was very little used beyond the Gt Nth Road. You have half a dozen junctions and a couple of fairly blind bends, but apart from that its very good visibility - even today. |
