    Firstly, Good job those of you in the emergency services.
    Secondly, Spilling over from Learning to Drive. What are your opinions of how learner drivers react to the lights and sirens. By this I mean the real learners, who are clearly in the early stages of learning as opposed to cars with L plates.
    Thirdly, Do you think the testers should immediatly interupt a test to help the learner out of your way quicker, during their driving test.
    Forthly, Purely as an anicdoted. My uncle used to work for the ambulance service in Belfast. He (rightly I believe) drove straight over a large roundabout with a lovely floral display celebrating Belfasts centenary, to avoid very heavy traffic. Recieved an official slap on the wrist.

    If you remember not long ago Prime Time done an article on taxi drivers double jobbing it, one Bus Driver from P/Boro was driving a bus by day and by night was driving a taxi, he was working something like 20 hrs a day. Hence he no longer drives Buses any longer, he was sacked, just pure luck he did not kill anyone, there are lots of them doing it, only a matter of time before someone is killed in and around the city.):

    That guy did not get fired from Dub bus :eek: I was talking to some people who work in that depot Dub bus did some investigation and he was reinstated,As for people not looking in their mirrors and surroundings me thinks it boils down to poor spacial awareness of the driver.
