The bus driver lost his licence and job..((.minutes count to us in the emergency service, please help us by getting out the way
No. Not at all. There are a range of unmarked vehicles across policing. Secondly to that, other agencies such as fire and ambulance have a range of unmarked vehicles
I think, at this point in time, anyone with a clean & undamaged 25+ thousand pound car that’s less than 5 years old, could fit blue lights & sirens & drive around London with no problem! There are so many unmarked so called response vehicles, no one knows who is who !!!! Only automatic speed & traffic light cameras are going to cause you an issue because they just read your VRM.
They shouldn't need mag mounts if the drivers of the civilian cars and vans paid more attention to their mirrors and the noise of the sirens,! Too many drivers with headphones or ear buds on loud these days!
I think traditionally they use higher siren tones as after they studied pitches they found higher tones cut through the monotonous rumble of traffic more effectively.
