What V8ninety says, yes whilst on duty in the simple term but it would need to be justified, doing that for returning to station or a routine run would take a little bit of convincing.

Not for us if on an Emergency we're to have the lights and siren on at all times, trust policy.
@Drac, out of interest, when do you put the sirens on? Is it just to warn other drivers that you're around?
Oh no trust policy says we have them at all times when going to an Emergency call so that's what I do. 😀
Hell, yeah. I would too. 😀
Put our hee haws off but keep lights on we are stuck in traffic that is obviously going no where fast. Only a matter of time one of the emergency services are brought to account if they force a driver through a junction and cause an incident.
Having faced a court hearing it was squashed at the last minute, I was heading to the court, as the advice was they not come off well against me because I had lights and sirens on.
That said in total grid lock I'd consider switching them off if policy allowed me. 😀
cougar - you need to read to the end of the sentence:
Ah, good point. I did misread that. Ta.
