the real sad part is does it REALLY surprise you.barmy yes but totally in line with the ;we can,t catch proper criminals so if we make up enough daft laws we,re bound to be able to convict someone: mentality that infests the uk today.

Where did you read this?

Did the kidney have to be there ASAP to save his life?

If he was breaking the law, he was breaking the law.

He put other lives at risk by speeding.

weather you are police ,or ambulance or fire they still got to prove they were on a registerd call ie emergency that some one has called in or had a call from HQ then the speeding is not counted by the speed camera people .

Some ambulances do abuse the system when it's not an emergency. IMO they should give the police the number plate of those in serious situations so that the laws can be enforced justfully.

Its the jocks

It happened last October and involved a private ambulance.

these contractors are used in non-emergency cases if it was an emergency they would have used a real ambulance not a car with ambulance written on it.
This case was not an emergency as it does not take 36 hours to get from Scotland to Leeds so there is no need to speed.
This is a case of a man thinking hes something that he isnt and thinking he can get away with speeding.
Sorry no sympathy he should get find otherwise you will have undertakers bombing around everywhere in their 'private ambulances' claiming their circumstances are emergencies.

Loony lefties again. No common sence applied again.

He has a point though. The NHS are aware of the laws concerning these matters if it warranted a blue light emergency run they would have used an NHS ambulance and informed the police. Blue lights for private ambulances are only if the situation concerning their use changes to an emergency.

hes not in an ambulance as we know one hes in a private ambulance, undertakers take dead bodies in their private ambulances but you dont see them running around at break neck speeds.
If this liver needed to get there fast and required to break the speed limit they would have used a NHS Ambulance not a private service. This man is not an emergency ambulance driver, the police looked at the case and at no time was their a requirement to break the speed limit to get the transplant to the hospital on time, so he should never have broken the law. Also as this man is a private ambulance driver not an NHS ambulance driver is he trained to drive at break neck speeds on a public highway?

To be on a "blue light emergency run" you would have to be authorised to do so.......end of story

he wasnt on a blue light emergency run hes not authorised to be on one.
If the cirumstances had changed during transport he would have been picked up by a police escort and then continued at speed to the receiving hospital. I say again this is a case of a guy who thought he could get away with speeding. The law is not always popular but its there for a reason. Or would you say that he could speed for driving medical records around. What gives this driver the authority to choose if the case was an emergency or not.

You're right, the kid had 36hrs to live, what was he thinking trying to get there in a hurry

I hope to God your child is never in that situation and the driver gets there too late.....but then again, he didnt speed so you'd be happy. Dickhead.

ok 36 hours to live, east lothian is near Edinburgh thats where he was caught speeding and he was travelling to leeds thats a 4 hour journey if you stick to the speed limit faster if you break the limit. What emergency is he in, this is something that happens every day across the country this guy was not in an emergency he just felt like he was. If they needed to get their quick they would have used a real ambulance or wait for it an air ambulance making a 4 hour journey cut into a 30 minute flight. If circumstances had changed whilst in transit he would have been picked up in a police escort. These are the reasons he was prosecuted for speeding.

you really are a self righteous tosser

If it was any of your kids you would want them there asap.

If I was driving the kidney then I would make sure it got there sooner rather than later.

Just because he had 36hrs doesn't mean it all goes to plan when the op starts.

Next time one of you goes speeding as your late to get your boyfriend from the anal sticher, I hope you get pulled and have the fine and points.

There are more important things in the world than bitching about someone doing there job.

self righteous tosser I maybe
but
im a correct self righteous tosser
this isnt the first time this has happened and I dare say it wont be the last.
the NHS dont run on chance and luck they calculate everything from when the organ leaves one hospital how long it takes to arrive at another, how soon the operation has to take place and the risks involved in that operation. If this was an emergency the last thing they would have used was a private ambulance.

Loony lefties again. No common sence applied again.

...completely irrelevant comment.

He's also factually correct and argues his point with logic and facts rather than abuse.
