Quote:
Fewer prosecutions should be brought against police, fire brigade and ambulance staff who commit driving offences while responding to emergencies, according to draft guidance issued by the Crown Prosecution Service on Thursday.
There may also be no public interest in charging individuals whose driving results in members of their family or close friends being killed because they will already have suffered overwhelming grief, the same public consultation suggests.

Good ,about time this was looked at ,we cannot have emergency service personnel scared to respond to emergencies because they may get prosecuted if it goes wrong
