Re: legality of calling ambulances

Probably not the best way to do it... but if you find yourself in an ambulance and REALLY dont want to pay the bill, you can always give the ambo a false name. Im not aware of any law against it. Then after you've been triaged at hospital you can just say "hey nurse, i just remembered... my nam...

Re: Abandoned vehicle

Re: Emergency Fire Escort

Yehhh I thought that was the case. Only their OIC is a police officer, right? The rest are appointed as traffic escort wardens under s7 of the RTA and the Road Traffic (Wardens) Regulations?
