We passed on the results of our survey to those that mattered, to that end, the speeding charges against were dropped.

Speeding charges against a driver on a medical emergency have been dropped. UNISON said it was delighted that the case against member Paul Stockbridge, the blood service driver accused of speeding, had been dropped. Karen Jennings, UNISON head of health, said: 'It is simply not acceptable that drivers of emergency vehicles are liable to prosecution in certain parts of the country because there are no national standards laid down. Provided that drivers of emergency vehicles are driving safely and not endangering the lives of other motorists they should not fear prosecution - which could ultimately cost them their livelihoods.' The decision comes less than a month after speeding charges against GMB member Mike Ferguson, who was delivering an organ for transplant, were dropped. The Crown Prosecution Service said then that 'prosecution is not needed in the public interest.' Both decisions followed high profile campaigns.
