Got the info, will use appropriately. I think the reaction will be a good one. As for the other details, I will take the suggestions made and put them to good use over the next days. Safe journey!

in reality, would you say getting out of the danger area is more important than worrying about being over the NSL? I would have thought it was. yes you can nick me, but Q2: would you?
my lifes more important than 3 points.
but as many biker here would probably agree, whens the last time any of us went for a sunday morning blast at < 60?

I never said anything about what was best. All I said was that there is no exemption to exceed the limit to overtake more safely. Dont be drawn into fables you hear in the pub about what you can legally do and what you cannot (unless you are talking to someone qualified to tell you, but not so P1ssed he/she cannot)
It is obvious what is actually best I think.

Oink a massive wheelie and scare the shit out of the dawdling numpty, then overtake as they crash off the highway and into the roadside garbage??I just dont go for all this IAM crap, I mean hold the wheel at the ten to two position and feed the wheel lol. Is that what you should do if a kiddy runs out into your path and your not gonna be able to stop?? Nope I should think not, experience is imposible to teach and I recon the IAM teach a lot of cap as well as some genuienly good driving tech, they need to get upto speed / upto date with there teachings, the sixtys are over man!

sparkey said: Madcop, Does the becoming an ambulance exemption thing apply it you're over the drink limit as well? Not that I intend to test it, it's just that when I'm sat at home on a Friday night babysitting while the wife is on a girlie night out I would normally have a few beer or glasses of wine when my daughter is in bed. Recently my daughter was a bit sick and I thought - what happens if I need to take her to hospital ? I'm over the limit !

It hopefully will never happen, but where would I stand if such an emergency was to arise ?

I suppose I would just have to wait for a real ambulance if it was something serious..

Sorry to get off topic again.

No exemption at all for any drink drive. The only one that may succeed is if you could prove that your drinks had been spiked and you had no idea.

If you have a crisis and you have had a few, you would best not drive at all, especially when acting as an ambulance with the added stress of an injured family member. The best thing to do in that case is to dial 999 and wait. If that is not feesible, then get a neighbour to do the driving who is alcohol free. Even consider dialing 999 again and ask for Plice asistance.

The main part of the definition of a Police Officer is

'A citizen, locally appointed but having authority under the crown for the protection of life and property, the maintenance of order and the prosecution of offenders against the peace.'

It is not unheard of when there are no ambulances available as is sometimes the case for Police vehicles to convey serious cases to hospital. I have done so, including a guy that had slashed his wrists (the proper way and taped them open) and been lying for over 2 hours in an area of woodland. Made a mess of the car but saved his life as the nearest ambulance was over 20 minutes away when I found the guy.

no if he done the job right 20mis
