There is an example in the Motoring Telegraph of a driver booked by a
RLC camera because he moved out of the way for a police vehicle. It
took him a long time to be able to prove he was innocent.

There has been talk in the press about crossing a red light to allow an
emergency vehicle to get past but the police always give a blanket
"thou shalt not go through a red light"


I repeat, rubbish.

Why do you think it's rubbish? Do you have counter-evidence?


As the police have the power to instruct a driver to pass a red light (but
not a flashing red light) then stating that 'police always give a blanket
"thou shalt not go through a red light' is patent rubbish.
