The latest instalment on the sorry saga of Stricklandgate/Sandes Ave junction
As we Kendalians/expats know, there have been continual problems with drivers defying the mandatory left turn from Windermere direction, going straight across into Stricklandgate.
Today I observed BIB approach the junction (no blues/sirens), they reached the corner (2 PC's in car),
put the blues on, no siren, crossed the junction, then low and behold, switched off the blues and proceeded at normal speed (20 limit
) up Stricklandgate. No sign of any
emergency.
What an example to set the general public. I would point out this was a Panda car (Focus Estate reg no PY02 ***), not a Trafpol Volvo.
I dont think anyone on here would disagree with an emergency vehicle on an
emergency call going straight across the junction if done safely - is there a legal exemption in emergencies?
Very disappointed by what I saw today.
