I dont know what kyle was talking about if an ambulance was in an accident i doubt the officers would go to court well unless who ever was wheeling was negligent and seriously injured or killed another driver/person.

He Ive been in a Ambulance doing observing when a rapid response automobile provided a escort. Traffic was awful so the RRV ute drove ahead stopped traffic at intersection and helped the the Ambulance negotiate a path through traffic.

You know how Rockingham and Mandurah traffic gets in the arvo its bumper to bumper all the way down in the peak hour.

I remember one time when we had a AAA patient and Para was in the back. I was allowed to driver very very slow P1. However we roundevued with a Paramedic as we couldn't afford any bumps and they new the smoothest route to hospital better then I did.

Not common practice but yes I agree both QE2 and RPH still do this every now and then. What I'm saying is most of the hospital staff agree its not required and certainly all the paramedics and police agree its not required but when the request is made its easier to go along with rather than rock the boat.
