What is an emergency?

[Retard]

In road traffic law sense.

[7db]

No tightly worded definition - it's one for common usage and common law precedent -- and the judge/mags to decide - on the facts - whether something warranted the action taken.

Is there an example you are thinking of?

[Mattt]

Speeding as you need to piss?

[dilbert]

Tea break!

[Cooperman]

"Sorry, Officer, I was looking for a s**thouse!"
"Well, son, you've just found one!!!!!"

[Puggit]

Alex Ferguson used the "I needed a sh!t" defence once when caught speeding - got away with it too

[L14MNV]

Retard - you'll have to be more specific mate.

Are you refering to an emergency for a member of public - ie child birth/on route to A&E

or

Emergency Services?

I think you can only use these excuses once each in a certain timeperiod though

Fergusons was for using the hard shoulder rather than speeding, wasn't it?

Was that driving along the hard shoulder to make better progress in his urgent search for a loo, or parking on the hard shoulder while he nipped over the barrier in search of trees/shrubbery etc.?

Best wishes all,
Dave.

So original.

For example, crossing solid white lines because of a puddle, rather than sacraing everyone about you by slowing to a crawl on a dual carrigeway. Or entering an empty cycle lane to avoid a car turning right. Things that everyone with common sense does, but are technically illegal.

Our standards as to what is is classified an emergency wouldn't be listed in the highway code (road traffic law) ;-)

I don't see the link with emergencies ?
