Twice this week alone I have been in traffic when an ambulance came screaming down the street clearly trying to either get to a person or get a person to the hospital, and I immediately pulled to the side of the road to let them get by. Meanwhile, not only did most cars not pull over, several of them PASSED me, putting them directly in the way of the ambulance that needed to get by.
Arriving at a destination a minute earlier is NOT as important for you or me as it is for an ambulance. Minutes and seconds matter in many emergency situations. When you hear sirens and see the ambulance, PULL OVER!! —Cares About Humanity

clever tag maude. i agree op i see it all the time…perhaps the motorists have ear buds in or are too busy yelling out their windows to give a flying fuck
This week (on Friday) I discovered that school bus right of way is more important than fire rescue vehicle right of way.
The fire trucks were coming up from Enfeid & the 2 school buses cut across their path & both refused to yield to the fire trucks. I have never seen anything so fucking WRONG…& these people carry dozens of other peoples children to & from school !!
but how can pull hear sirens, when you got an iclod going, texting, and eating a snack, all the same time. jesus man, you think they got that much brains to do one more thing.
ya know lifer, that monkey tattoo was the only one i liked on that sad site. so where’s the new picture?

haha, the list is endless…i was thinking an old spaghetti western with clint- eastwood not howard
I always wonder if the ambulance just turns on the siren to get through the rush hour traffic because if you notice some turn off the siren and lights once through it.
