Due regard is driving with care esp. when it comes to lights and sirens. The ambulance driver must keep in mind the safety of the other vehicles on the road. He can't blast through intersections without slowing down and making sure it is clear first. If he fails at due regard, and a crash ensues, he will be held liable.

Due Regard

It's basically saying that EMS vehicle drivers should not assume other drivers are paying attention to lights and sirens and should exercise caution when on a call. Here is a good explanation:

▲One single stat, an average of 99.94 makes a batsman the best ever. Agreed.▲ ▲Other single stat, 199 first class centuries, with few in Tests, makes that batsman no.2 all time best. Also agreed.▲ ▲431 wickets in Test, before that 355 wickets in Tests, bowlers were called the best in the world,agreed.▲ ◣Having watched footage of earlier matches, they don't look too different from current ones. That makes Sir Don's batting exploits extra ordinary. He also had a 1st class average of 95. So he was indeed an exceptional batsman.◣ ◣He played as an amateur, with 52 Tests in over 20 years. People argue that he maintained such high standards for that long, in those many matches, its also an achievement. Agreed.◣ ◄ Now change the scenario, next best batsmen happened to be George Headily, Peter Pollock, Sir Sobers, R.Kanhai, Barry Richards, Viv Richards, Zaheer Abbas, Greg Chapple etc.► ◄The era changed, Sir Don's records started to tumble. His record of 29 centuries was broken. He never had the highest score record (maybe for a while, after scoring 334 but I am not sure). Don't know if anyone has scored more double centuries than him or not yet.► ◄Gavaskar was hailed as the best century maker. He was surpassed by Tendulkar later. So the records have changed hands.► ▼Now problem being that 99.94 average won't ever be repeated. As it was made mainly against one good team & few minnows of his time.▼ ODI's also started happening. India was a minnow, till a surprise win in 1983 WC. Tendulkar started playing in 1989. He played both Tests & ODI's simultaneously. He didn't succeed as a big ODI batsman till 3-4 years later, when he got to open the innings. Few other greats in the past, i.e. Viv Richards, D.Amiss, Boycott, Gooch, Gower, Miandad, Zaheer Abbas, Chapple bors., also played both Tests & ODI's. It was considered normal for them to partake in both formats. Things started to change, number of matches grew with every passing year. Yet none of these greats managed to average more than 60 in Tests (Pollock, in a short career) ▲Now number of runs scored, with an average of 50+ was considered as an achievement. Gavaskar opened the 5 figure (10K) runs club. Border overtook him, then S.Waugh & eventually B.Lara got to the helm of runs mountain.▲ ▲Lara was then considered the best batsman, having scored more than 29 centuries, more Test runs than anyone else and an individual top score of 400 but with an average of just over 50.▲ ▲Then it was Tendulkar's turn to take over from Lara, with better average & now most number of runs in the world and another unique record, of 100 international centuries in both Tests & ODI's. Then why is he not the Best in the world now, he is and most people agree.▲ ▶Now players playing huge number of games, are considered great, if they maintain high standards, which has an average of 50+, its considered top notch, if its touching 60, not 99.94 (impossible).◀ ▶Number of centuries has replaced a better average, now a days.◀ ▶Thus Sir Don has to be considered as an exceptional great player, who got a great average, which became a parameter of excellence, in his time and till professionals started playing both forms of the game, i.e. Tests & ODI's seriously.◀ ▲Also number of wickets in Tests & ODI's garnered bowlers the tag of the best bowler.▲ ▶If Hadlee stood tall with 431,at one time, then Kapil Dev took 434,to be called the best for a while. Then Walsh, McGrath, Warne & eventually Murli have taken the tag from Warne, to sit with 800 Test wickets.◀ ▲Problem arises, when people start putting in personal negative points, to judge a player, who has topped the charts. If simple numbers were left to judge a player's capability, then they speak a very clear language. It becomes murky, the moment detractors start using abusive words, with great numbers, in trying to bring down the icons, who would go in the cricket's history as the very few chosen ones, be it the best average holder, Sir Don or maximum runs/centuries scorer, Tendulkar or the maximum wicket taker in Murli & W.Akram..▲
