Legislation states whilst on police business, it doesn't specify what that means. It doesn't say on an emergency.

This has a lot of implications for driver training.

True, I am off the the blue light users conference next week and I believe this will be being discussed there?

But you ride a horse

Yes but...... I hold a voluntary position as a Police Liaison Officer for Mountain Rescue where we do use blue lights!

Went last year and it was good

A Shropshire police officer has won his High Court bid to overturn a conviction for dangerous driving after reaching up to 159mph in an unmarked patrol car.

Pc Mark Milton, of Telford, an advanced police driver, was convicted last year after originally being acquitted.

District Judge Peter Wallis found him guilty after ruling his driving skills were "irrelevant" to the case.

But two High Court judges have said the district judge "misdirected himself" and told him to look at the case again.

District Judge Wallis, sitting at Ludlow Magistrates' Court, found him guilty last August.

Lady Justice Smith and Mr Justice Gross, sitting at London's High Court on Friday, sent the case back to him to decide whether "Pc Milton's unusual driving skills were such as to make a crucial difference to the dangerousness of his driving".

Lady Justice Smith said: "It seems to me that this matter is of considerable importance to both sides of the dispute."

Pc Milton was given an absolute discharge at Ludlow Magistrates' Court last August following his conviction for the high speeds, which were reached on the M54 in Shropshire.
