For driving without sirens whilst speeding through a red light merging onto a junction in Bristol city centre.
It was very helpful when the motorist immediately Infront of me stops whilst I'm overtaking causing a crash..... It's great to know with the grass verge on my left obscured any blue light (due to being behind the Infront motorist) and no audio prompt that my night was made so pleasant... Oh and no to mention the now understanding "turning sirens on is up to the driver" your supervisor answered when asked,,
" So is it acceptable for a speeding officer not to use siren when a pedestrian crossing is feet away past a bling corner??"
Having had a look I CAN actually see that is true!
Would it be a stretch then to argue, was it a silly disission not to?
And on that note the fact that even your own guidelines stipulate it's recommended standard practice to use both " lights and sirens when merging ONTO a multi laned junction??
Well thanks for taking the time to increase my stress levels and not take any accountability..
