He may not be breaking state law. It all depends where your at. In CA I believe there is no state law on how fast we can go in code 3 operations (L/S) but company policy is no more than 10mph above the posted limit not to exceed 75mph.
Even when going Code 3, you must always drive with due regard for the safety of others. When you're going Code 3, you're the most hazardous/dangerous thing out on the road. Failure to drive with due regard is a very bad thing...
I completely agree with your sentiment Akulahawk, driving with due regard is vital, but it does have to be noted that in plenty of areas, driving 10mph over the posted limit means you're the slowest driver on the road lol
(Serious note, that's usually on the freeways where we aren't allowed to drive code anyway)
