marsbar1973 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Although not a personal shunt, I thought you guys might like to see it. One of my bruv's colleagues had a slight accident on Friday 14 Oct. He was t-boned by a motorist not paying attention to what was coming! All the side was taken out. No-one was seriously hurt, just cuts and bruises. My bruv wasn't on shift at the time, he was rota'd on next. He took this pic of the ARV on his mobile, so please excuse the quality!

Bennys_Si Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 i will agree they are supposed to go through red lights, but at the same time they are bound by the same laws as us, as in if it is unsafe to do so then they must not go through it. even if they have to come to a near enough stop then thats what they are supposed to do. At the end of the day, they have a job to do and i think it can be a very hard one, but at the same time, they have to make sure every action they take that goes over the usual laws have to be done carefully. Plus round my way i have seen coppers go through lights with sirens and blues going then 100 yeards after wards they get turned off and continue driving.
