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.

what the reaction of not stepping out ?
as to lights and siren sure it would help but there are times when they are not used
as i have said a few times here i am not saying he was in the right but most posts seem to be saying it should never happen and that is not living in the real world of what the police have to do
