Next time i know someone who has got a speeding ticket i will tell them to bring up The Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, reg 87.

so if your in trouble you want them to come slowly stopping for every red light ?

not quite true they can break the speed limit on any call they see fit to so though ACPO rules ( these are not law though ) limit the ones who can to those trained to do so
what i find funny about this is from my knowledge of the police the oposite is now true
lots of police are so fed up with having to fill out forms every time they get in a car and have to get some where fast because off 999 call or because they see something they wont go over the limits no matter what as it causes to much hassle
