   I'm not sure if a private vehicle is allowed to unless it's part of a    
   service. Yes, it is privately owned, but she's a member of the 'services.'   
   Even has an E tag (emergency) becasue of her medical license. Before that   
   she had an F tag (Fire).   
      
   The rule here is you are still supposed to obey traffic laws (stop signs,   
   speed, etc.) and you can't run lights unless you have a siren as well.   
   Technically you can be stopped for speeding, but I've never heard of it   
   happening. As long as you aren't wreckless and you are responding to a    
   call, you're considered (in practice - see previous message) to be a part   
   of the responding public service.
