So what happens all the time eh!!! Well let me explain this set road works had traffic lights controlling to single lane and literally the road surface was rally dirt track. In our roadworks areas 30kph is the maximum speedlimit, not that people do observe them unless they are stuck behind me with cones preventing overtaking etc. My BX can be very wide when I am driving
.Anyways I was not driving the wife was with my daughter and her friend in the car! This council (insert) passed us at a speed of 60kph scattering stones on the way. Even admitted as much in the letter of response to our complaint along with passing through red traffic light controls at that speed or faster. But his excuse was "attending a vegatation fire"!!!! Flimsy excuse the council and police response is he was going to an emergency so had the right to "speed" as would any emergency vehicle. Then he (senior cop) used the line what if it was to a road accident/house fire! Well duh Councils Rural Fire only go to Vegatation fires, the real Fire Brigade go to anything else including this fire they would already be at.
Worst person this could happen to and argue with as I do know the rules for Fire Service drivers and lack of training of the driver concerned.
The best part though is we got this all on video from a dashcam
Not so much as an apology let alone paying the repair bill yet it could have been worse if my wife had turned right instead of left into the path of this speeding (insert) charging through the roadworks or had a stone been flicked into the car injuring one the kids or worse my wife the driver. No its tough luck buddy in an emergency we can drive like a Twat!
