Are you supposed to drive THROUGH the red light to let them pass? I know I was never told to do that in drivers ed. but it's what I did when I was put in that scenario!

@@3th4nP31ff3r And if you're already stopped in the left turn lane or at a red light? I mean, I agree with you I thought it best to stay still and let the ambulance go around us by driving into oncoming traffic and around the cars stopped at the light. But when an ambulance doesn't do that and instead pulls up behind you and blares it's horn, I personally got the impression that he REALLY wanted me to drive through that red light to get off to the side. But again, the "sometimes it's okay to run a red light" lesson was never explained to us in drivers ed class. IDK, maybe there are different rules for situations like this depending on how much traffic there is? (There wasn't much btw. So it was totally safe, just technically illegal.) Or maybe I just got a really inexperienced ambulance driver? Also, I thought emergency vehicles were supposed to have some sort of infrared/ultraviolet strobe light that turns traffic signals green in their direction? But that didn't happen that day. I'm just saying there was a lot they didn't cover in drivers ed.

I've been in EMS for 30+ years. During this time I've been cut off by 18, wheelers, motorcycles, not to mention vehicles who think that they have the right of way when they're blowing a red light, My partners and I have been hit by vehicles that just "want to get a closer look" we've had to jump out of the way of idiots cutting through the accident scene more than once. Not to be forgotten the ones who throw their empty coffee cups at us amongst other things. Some day we might have to respond for them. So sad that they don't think of that. We're trying to do our job. We didn't cause the problem, were trying to help. Please let us do our job,!

In Puerto Rico an ambulance was transporting a patient to hospital when a car was in front of the ambulance deliberately slowing it down. Unfortunately the patient died from the delay of getting to hospital. The driver of the car went home to discover that his mother had a heart attack and was taken to hospital. At Centro Medico Police were investigating the Ambulance Driver's complaint that he was deliberately blocked from getting to hospital. The driver got home and found out that his mother had a heart attack and was taken to hospital. He immediately went to hospital. The Paramedics had his license plate number. The man asked about his mother and was told that she died. The Paramedics told him that they were blocked from getting to hospital by a stupid driver. The Highway Patrol Officer was outside of hospital emergency room and noticed the License plate number. He announced over the PA system for the owner of the car to come to registration desk. The man reported to the officer who told him his car was the car that blocked the ambulance from getting to hospital. He was arrested for Manslaughter of his own mother. So the lesson learned is that you don't know who is in the Ambulance or waiting for the ambulance. He caused his own mother's death by delaying the Ambulance. Can you imagine a person blocking a fire apparatus to only discover that it was responding to their house and the entire family died from his stupidity?
