Jim in Anchorage Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 What is the fastest you guys will travel? You, yourself, and your crew? (Speed / posted speed)? What about others? How fast will some others go? Cops? I remember in Charlotte Police officers were getting tickets by the speed cams, they were forced to pay them, too. Unless they were running with lights on or whatever; if I remember correctly, the biggest offenders were the police. Anyway, they did away with them, thankfully.Anyone traveling to a race in Bristol needs to learn about the cameras there, though! The police?

I just cleared as a basic medic so I need to do that for a while before driver training (thats how my company does it) but we've gone 75 in a 55 to a location.

BuffaloBud Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Here in NY we are told that when you are going lights and sirens its 5 over on city roads and 10 over on expressways. That was our department's rule as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) In the insurance world, when any emergency vehicle gets into an accident with their lights/sirens on, it is nearly inpossible to put ANY fault on them. They have to show "gross negligence". Try proving that when they have they sirens and lights on. Bingo! Like I said earlier about all other vehicles being "burdened." Almost like a rear-end collision or like when you are skiing (opposite of this ambulance situation: because when lights and horns are on... ALL other traffic should come to a stop)... The "up" hill skier always is burdened... If they hit the "down" hill person (down the hill from them), they were NOT in control enough, following too closely, or whatever... No matter what the schmoe in front of them did to "cause" the collision. Edited February 27, 2011 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
