I’ve witnessed about 3 police cars do this…
One made it blatantly office when the light went amber to red and all of a sudden the blues and twos came on… haha |

"Do Amazon or other delivery drivers know what they deliver?
"
Do they order stuff for themselves, it's on their round to deliver, realise they live up 8 flights of stairs (no lift) and think "fuck that!" |

"For example, do police cars and ambulance drivers ever whack the sirens on just to get past traffic? "
I was a paramedic for 23 years. From the ambulance side of things, it's a long and boring answer and a yes and no. Using the blues and twos (sirens) is a specific exemption granted by the Home Office. Misusing it is a criminal offence and no ambulance crew would ever use it to get to a tea break, or just to pass traffic. Trust me, for an ambulance crew, sitting in traffic is a break. The only time they would be ordered to use the noise and lights is if the control needed you at a specific location for an active standby, ie waiting for emergency calls to come in at a location convenient for all directions, such as near a motorway junction, or city centre area. |

Ahhh that you for actually answering that. I'll admit that my original question was only partly tongue in cheek  |

"Do airport security have a quota of how many to frisk ? Plus do they have a changeable criteria for stopping people to frisk ?  "
There is no quota and you should stop people genuinely randomly some coworkers did every 9th person then some areas everyone is checked that has had an extended travel example 4 weeks somewhere or in a high contraband area... Example Amsterdam Cozumel etc |

Yes they do but it's open ended, they search everyone that activates the arch and the arch will activate at random to make the numbers up if it needs to. |

Do Aldi checkout people go into Lidl and take on the challenge of beating turbo Tracey when packing bags? Do Aldi and Lidl workers actually use the packing bench? Do they go up the middle aisle and buy the random crap before everyone else? Do they shop in Sainsbury's and get their shopping for less? (After all Aldi promises to price match Sainsbury's, I beg to differ). |
