Thanks paco and shytorque,
I understand where you are coming from. However if the doctors on the ground (who one assumes must know best) ask you to take the patient why would a law prevent you ? Or is it an ass covering law that stops you potentially saying yes where there is a posibility that the doctors request may not have been correct ?
What would be the case if I 'happened to be passing' in a private twin and was asked to help. (eg accident at a remote hotel where I was for lunch) ?
Please don't get me wrong here. I have much respect for all police and HEMS chopper crew and I fully understand the example that shytorque gave. I am just interested in this preventative law.
