They're probs only collecting the pizza order for the station anyway.....I never ever move onto a kerb or pavement or into a Bus Lane or across a red light line when the Blue and Two's are egging me on to move out the way. Nope! I just sit and let him manoeuvre around me as cars behind and in front mount the pavement/kerb/enter bus lane and edge forward over the red light stop line and trigger the camera and enter a box junction and get nabbed by a camera surveillance unit out to nab some b4st$rd who enters the box junction when their exit is not clear (except of course when turning right when it is permitted to enter the box junction). The blues and twos guy can jump up and down, can stick two fingers up in the windscreen which I can see in my rear view mirror - but I ain't gonna move pal. The Ambulance guys are the most common blues and twos in my experience and the worst drivers compared to the Police. Fire Crews are not much better than Ambulance drivers - one came tearing out of a side road onto the main road where i had a green light and crashed straight into the near side of my Vauxhall Cavalier SRi company car back in 1986. The hassle between the company insurers and the local government insurer was a nightmare. Lesson learnt. Government vehicles insurance claims can be extremely prolonged bureaucratic nightmares - and they have to remember one simple rule - flashing blues and sounding twos does not give you a right to snow plough vehicles out of your way and must not encourage the driver to flout the law and compromise safety.
