Police in Bus Lanes


quote

Recommended Posts

Are the Police allowed to drive in bus lanes when it is NOT an emergency?

 

The other week I saw a Police van drive in the bus lane rather than queueing in the traffic on Penistone road, they turned into the Morrisons exit at the barracks and then into McDonalds – Perhaps they deemed hunger as an emergency

 

Did anyone else see it?

 

They should follow the example of you white van drivers and be paragons of good driving virtue.

Marked police vehicles are allowed by law to use bus lanes in Sheffield irrespective of whether it is an emergency or not so they were doing nowt wrong.

 

So one law for the plod ,and another for the rest of us.

 

And they wonder why no one has any respect for them anymore.

I have respect for them.

 

Don’t speak for me penistone999, I have respect for them, especially in today’s climate. They’re the only ones running towards trouble when everyone else is running the other way.

Exactly, that is why most of the signs say ‘and permitted vehicles’

 

At the end of the day, they are not just driving around, they have a job to do, like investigating stuff that doesn’t always warrant them using blue lights and sirens. I would rather them use the bus lanes and get to where they need to go rather than stuck in traffic.
