The Police are also not automatically allowed to ignore the highway code and do such at their own risk.

If an accident occurs as a result of non-adherence they also run the risk of prosecution.

Their standing orders are that they can drive fast etc. if doing otherwise would hinder their response or impede their effectiveness to answer an emergency.

At all times the driver can be held responsible for any consequences coming about as a result of driving outside of the parameters of the highway code.
