As Med's dont have a list of rules yet what they are or aren't allowed to do its a bit confusing. Iv'e been told by many of people Meds can use audible siren + strobe when going to a scene and when attending the scene only strobe. That they are allowed to do blue light runs. Me and lewis do them all the time and no one says anything. I understand people don't have to move out the way for us, but its just roleplay.

This was commonplace, someone asked if it was OK, and everyone said it was OK, even admins said they did it, and then Chuck turned up and said that this was rubbish and has never been allowed... long and short we're still waiting on a decision on what can and can't be used as a MED. So personally I just do what I always did which is sirens and strobes but no priority over other traffic.

This blue light thing is new to me. Sirens and strobes would kinda make sense, but since I only ever use !chase to turn on the visual sirens, they wouldn't go on until I've caught up. But you'd still need to break the speed limit to get them in range, so +1 for lights and sirens. (but what if you don't catch up?)
