Read this newspaper report and look at the photograph - this is such an everyday occurrence in our lovely country.
Driving with impunity? No!
A driver of a vehicle with a flashing light on top of the vehicle should behave like a normal ordinary citizen and still take care of his cargo and other road users. He/she may not drive without care and then hide behind "... the call of duty ..." That driver's duty extends to all road users. Of course we all will immediately concede that under certain circumstances that vehicle should be afforded the space on the road to ignore ordinary traffic rules. Having said that, it goes further that the driver of such a vehicle should still do so with reasonable care and should the situation dictate to be more vigilant, then the driver should do exactly that: be more vigilant.
I trust that this matter will be investigated and that it should proceed to court - remember justice must also be seen to be done!
