No. The Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (Section 87) states that: “No statutory provision imposing a speed limit… shall apply to any vehicle on an occasion when it is being used for fire brigade, ambulance or Police purposes, if the observation of that provision would be likely to hinder the use of the vehicle for the purpose to which it is being put at the time”.
