Should the courts be able to take into account the higher levels of training that appropriately trained emergency drivers have?

http://www.polfed.org/newsroom/5210.aspx
https://services.parliament.uk/bills/2017-1...rotections.html

I don't disagree with the principles behind the bill (if an advanced pursuit driver cannot drive to a higher standard than a "careful and competent" driver, his training can't be that advanced), but I'm curious as to what others think.

The Police Federation have quite a bit of stuff about this on their website.

The way it's been put across internally was that on an emergency response it is very likely the drive would in one way or another fit in to the definition of careless driving and there is no exemption from this. Whilst there wouldn't be a prosecution for speeding or failing to adhere to a red light these actions could still be used to support careless driving.

(Wether the Feds view is correct or not is another question!)
