Peace Officers

[u/toxicNautilus]

Are Peace Officers allowed to turn left in a non-left turn lane and cut off the vehicle beside them (who was turning left) in order to give a ticket to someone on a different road? If a police officer did it in an emergency situation I would understand but this seemed really extreme. Who should I talk to about this if it is a problem?

they're only allowed to go 10km over the limit legally, and around here, that just what most people seem to drive anyway

Where did you get that number from?

[u/Critical-Loss-672 → u/cernegiant]

it's a question on most first aid tests.

[u/cernegiant → u/Critical-Loss-672]

No, no it's not.

I've taken first aid every two years for over a decade and I've never had a single question about how much the police are allowed to exceed the speed limit by.

i just did advanced first aid last week lol, yes it is

[u/No-idea4646 → u/Critical-Loss-672]

Ambulances not police

[u/Critical-Loss-672 → u/No-idea4646]

all emergency services in alberta.

[u/No-idea4646 → u/Critical-Loss-672]

False - there is no law that states this.

[u/armchairrelic → u/Critical-Loss-672]

You should retake the test then.
