As we seem to have a few serving and ex plod on now days here's a little question for you all.

Who can name the most users authorised to use Blue Lights on public roads in the UK.

I could come up with 8 off the top of my head any better out there ???

I counted all types of Ambulance/Fire etc as one so no St Johns aswell as Ambulances or Manchester Airport Fire and Rescue aswel as Fire Engines

I believe John Prescot's wife's hairdresser is allowed to use a blue light should there be an unplanned need to apply emergency treatment to her hair in the event of her being de-jagged.
PS
The lacquer tanker is a development of Silverstone Sids Jaguar fire tender, it can deliver the Harmony and be lost amongst the other Jags.

Add the Royal Parks Police to the List together with the Salvage Corps.

SALVAGE CORPS
They look like the fire Brigade but don't carry hosepipes. They drive around in big red vans but are not Postman Pat. They might sing jolly salvage songs as they drive along.

Being serious for a moment they are financed by the Insurance industry and attend fire and flood sites to to mitigate loss. They might be unique to London but on the other hand they might not be.

11, surely. We've forgotten those young Nova drivers with exciting and unusual windscreen washer LEDs.

"the other Jags"

And the Rover...

Many forget the 800 series supplied by some Union he represents.
