please notice that several forces did not give there figures , possible to embarassed,

So 90,000 figure shouldbe higher, and only 1/4 were on blue lights and on there way to an incident !

Disccus !!!

The Police can't win. The public moan when they take ages to attend their incident and claim it's not fair, like a jealous sibling, just because they're allowed a limited number of exemptions when driving.

racing to an incident is fine but if you read it correctly you will notice that only 1/4 were on blues. and as you know on blues is the only time when they are allowed to ignor the speed and traffic light laws.

Actually that's a bit af a falicy... a properly trained driver who is performing a duty as an Emergency Service has the exemption in law.

Also, the blue light is off more than it's on even when switched on.

Please remember this is a Daily Mail article.

Trust me... the powers that be will not take the side of the officer if there's any doubt as to whether they were on a call - and almost all incidents are logged.
