You should try and read between the lines.

Private ambulances are used by the great the good and the greedy for ensuring fast access to such places as the London Clinic and the King Edward VII hospitals which are are not part of the NHS. The drivers they hire already have relevant experience eg ex police. As far as I can tell collateral damage to plebians as a result of fast cars on the blues and twos is acceptable to the IPCC.

The alternative is relying on, say, the London Ambulance service or keeping fit. Yer pays yer money and yer takes yer choice.

Surely all a skilled professional driver needs is someone to point out where the siren and blues switches are?

They are not only drivers but in reality often paramedics, having been trained ?
