Do standard police drivers have special training for driving through traffic with sirens on at 60mph? The ones in Astras and stuff? I read a few things, which I don't know if they are true or not.
One is that its just a niceness to move out of the way for a Police car with sirens on, and you are not bound by law to get out of its way.
Two is that every time they go through a speed camera over the limit, the Police force still has to pay the penalty.
I do not know whether this is actally true, mind...
