Emergency Services: Dangerous Driving
(asked on 4th September 2017) - View Source
Question to the Attorney General:
To ask the Attorney General, what plans he has to update guidance issued to prosecutors on charging emergency service drivers with careless or dangerous driving.
This question was answered on 12th September 2017
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) issues legal guidance to prosecutors on road traffic offences. The CPS Road Traffic legal guidance as a whole is in the process of being updated. However the specific guidance in relation to the charging of drivers of emergency service vehicles and drivers in emergencies is felt to be current and comprehensive. As such there are no plans at present to update this section of the guidance.
