by SpeedLux

A British driver who transformed his car into a phony ambulance with blue lights and a siren, then required his method from traffic queuing to utilize a busy tunnel has been fined over $1,284 (NZ$ 1772).

CCTV revealed the white automobile, with its lights flashing, moving from automobiles waiting at the Tyne Tunnel, and motorists moving out of the way of exactly what they presumed was a 999 call.

He was then recorded approaching the toll makers and turning from the barrier before surpassing other automobiles and forcing them to pave the way.

Suspicions were raised after personnel at the tunnel saw the car go through rush-hour traffic at speed.

The North East Ambulance Service had no record of among its automobiles being in the area at the time. Authorities examined, and Scandle, of Hexham, Northumberland, was identified as the driver. Policemans discovered his Renault Megane had been covered in livery to make it appear like quick response vehicle.

Scandle ran a company named Hadrian Medical Services, providing emergency treatment at occasions throughout the North East.

On this occasion, he had been providing first aid for the Tour of Britain cycle race and had been taking a trip to Blyth for attending a “medical incident”.
