LGV or not, its a 4.2 ltr turbo intercooled engine, easily hit 100+ no probs, its the fact our machine weights 14 tonne with 1800 ltrs of water, not the easiest to drive at over 70
Yeah we can, specially if someone could potentially be dying and people will try and race us

fair play, and if anything goes wrong with a police car doing 100 mph thats only 1.5 tonnes of out of control metal.
spose if something went wrong with an "appliance" (as firefighters call them  ) that would be 14 tonnes of metal and water out of control  ...nasty.

Are you aware you can get pulled and done for such behaviour as your potentially slowing down an emergency response vehicle

yeah mate, i think you find you have.
didnt effect it, right well i hope when you crash your fucking car, and the ambulance is just recieving its call, to come save your ass, some lil cunt like yourself speeds past it, spins out, crashes in teh ambluance, and as they cant get to you, you die.
unlucky!
think of the consequences if... IF something was to happen!

What's different about blue lights and a siren?
Each time you see an ambulance or fire engine, you know there is a high chance that someones life is in danger.
Overtaking lane or not. The blue lights have priority over every single person on the road.
