Of course they have a speed limit, governed by their power to weight ratio! If you mean do they have to adhere to the speed limits set out, then, again the answer is yes. However, if they are responding to an emergency call they have an exemption under the road traffic act 1988 as do other emergency vehicles. There are also a couple of other exemptions they can take too. However, responding to an emergency does not, in itself provide a defence in law for driving dangerously or carelessly. Drivers of emergency vehicles are trained to a higher standard than is required to pass a standard driving test. Therefore, if you wind up in court facing an allegation of careless or dangerous driving you will find that you will be grilled about what happened and be expected to explain in detail your decision to drive as you did!Do the drivers get tickets? If any vehicle including an emergency vehicle is caught by a speed camera then the process of issuing an NIP (notice of intended prosecution) is automated. This is sent with a request under section 172 of the road traffic act 1988 for the keeper of the vehicle to disclose who the driver was at the time of the offence. It is an offence not to disclose this information. Any organisation that have fleet vehicles must have a procedure in place for logging vehicle usage so this can be complied with. In the case of an emergency vehicle such as an ambulance the notice will go to the chief officer. If the vehicle was being used to respond to an emergency this will have been logged and the statutory defence raised, negating the ticket. If the vehicle wasn't responding than no exemption exists and the driver will have to take the fine and points. Thinking, why don't they just say they were responding to an incident? If they do and it's discovered they weren't (explain why emergency equipment, lights sirens etc weren't in use) and you will find yourself on the wrong end of a prosecution for attempting to pervert the course of justice.

Probably NOT.As with ANY motor vehicle you are REQUIRED to keep a contemporaneous mileage log of ALL vehicle usage. That portion of the mileage related to business use would be used to compute the deductible business expenses. IF that rate is UNDER 50% then you are REQUIRED to use the standard mileage rate. That rate is $0.55 per business mile driven for 2019.

I cannot find a first reference to traffic jam but logjam has been around for a while. Transferring that to snarled up traffic would not be a quantum leap. Here are some definitions from Online Etymology Dictionary showing usage.log-jam (n.)also logjam, "congestion of logs on a river," by 1851, American English; see log (n.1) + jam (n.2). The figurative sense is by 1890.jam (n.2)"a tight pressing between two surfaces," 1806, from jam (v.). Sense of "machine blockage" is from 1890, which probably led to the colloquial meaning "predicament, tight spot," first recorded 1914. Jazz meaning "short, free improvised passage performed by the whole band" dates from 1929, and yielded jam session (1933); but this is perhaps from jam (n.1) in sense of "something sweet, something excellent."There may have been some humour involved in paralleling this idea with how vehicles end up.jam (n.1)"fruit preserve," 1730s, probably a special use of jam (v.) "press objects close together," hence "crush fruit into a preserve."
