I want to be above the law
Discussion
Recent call to an elderly male with a suspected heart attack. Practice called an ambulance at the same time I got inside my TVR.
Now remember this is one of my patients and a house I have visited many times before. TVR hits ludicrous speed before I reach the end of the car park, out on to the main road and I'm off. (please don't take me too literally here, no pedestrians were risked in the writing of this email, scared maybe
)
Now there's no way I'm gonna stick to the legal limit, I have a syringe full of morphine and I WANT to use it.
But while driving I have to risk my license, put up with people getting in my way cos they don't see why I should be in front (people who don't recognise the car), and run the risk of getting a parking ticket when I park outside his house.
While I'm treating this guy I can hear an ambulance siren. It gets louder, it gets softer, it gets louder, 15mins later the ambulance arrives because they couldn't find the house but eventually spot the woman I sent outside to wave her arms.
Eventually in this country there will be more speed cameras than lampposts and more speedbumps than numpties, ... okay well probably speedbumps will never outnumber numpties. But I can see my license isn't going to last forever.
Interesting, when some judge is going to have to choose between upholding public opinion on speed kills and speed saves.

Julian,
Anecdotal evidence suggests that Bristol ownership is something of a free pass to any speed you like, although Bentleys always do well.
From memory, Jags have always possessed a certain "he's probably a mason" quality about them so, what about an XK or XJ-R?
Just what the good doctor ordered!
(Actually, the more I see of traffic tolerances via traffic police relative to actual (certainly motorway) driving, the more I'm convinced that 90 is becoming more and more easy to achieve without too much peril du licence, as it were.)

Are you not entitled to a flashing green light on your car for emergency runs? (No, not a Alex Ferguson Curry). OK, numpties haven't a clue what it means, but they might just get out of your way, and it might even show up in a speed camera picture. You're also less likely to be pulled by a Talivan, I'd have thought.
