Passenger of police car gave me the big thumbs up.

Was he sitting in the back with handcuffs on?

For 90% of the stuff we get called out to..

A few years delay wouldn't make much difference let alone 10secs !

It's an M3 convertible. Utterly obnoxious and totally camp, suits me down to the ground 🙂

Someone I know drives fast police cars. I asked about truck drivers seeing blue lights behind them. No problem, he said, they check their mirrors every bend, you know they'll see you, wait for the right place, indicate and slow down. But if there's five cars behind the truck, two will try to overtake just as the cop car comes past on blue lights and siren.

If I were sat at a red light and had no-where else to go, I'd move forward, cautiously, out of the way. I've had rides in ambulances, thanks, but fortunately not on blue lights.

Slightly off topic, but something that is useful to us as we approach you is to know you've seen us. We look for at least 2 signs- indicator on, change in road position, change in speed. The earlier you can display these the easier it is for us. Agree with majority here, don't damage your car or drive illegally to make room. Btw, there are sometimes tossers behind the wheel of emergency vehicles as well!
