At 90mph you would cover ONE mile in 45 seconds so how much time would you have to react to an approaching vehicle travelling at that speed and even if you saw him 200 yards away you would have less than 6 seconds to react and the oncoming headlights could cause the rabbit in the headlights scenario to happen.
The use of Blues and Twos probably would have prevented this from happening.
I am all for the Police and our other Emergency services pro-actively using their Blues and Twos when attending a legitimate call or reacting to a situation as it gives forewarning to other road users and pedestrians and if one of these drivers kill a person through not using these devices then the full weight of the law must be used to prosecute them.
