Ha ha ha! Hopefully she can tell what box has what in it by what it's called and not the colors when it comes time to save a life!

Your paramedics are allowed to drive against traffic there? They can't here. Also, they cannot go faster than the speed limit on the road they're on. Traffic must come to a complete halt and move to the right to make way though.

Any means must speed limits apply in built up areas, but if you saw the traffic and the narrow High Street you would see why they do. The traffic has to give way to emergency vehicles. They can legally jump lights too, but must give far warning they are approaching.

We were going to see friends last Sunday on the dual carriageway through the New Forest when we noticed the traffic on our side slowing down. A police car was on the other side with the blues only, on the otherside of the road. We looked at each other knowing the car was heading back to Ringwood for the junction to come back on our side.
I said 7 minutes Mark said 5 minutes ' They will use the short cut'

Well they didn't, (couldn't be local bobbies) and it was nearly 10 minutes when in the wing mirror the lights were visible and everyone was separating the road so the police car could come through the centre.
Mark decided it was doing at least a ton!

There was a multi car pile up in the 'drop' as we know it. A common accident spot where often deer cross. Looked as if it had happened again, 8 cars.
No one was hurt thank goodness!
