@@YelpBullhorn It's an RRV - Rapid Response Vehicle, can holdup to 2 paramedics, though usually it is just a single responder. They are kitted out to the same level as an actual ambulance, so they can be called either.

@@diamond4791 ...... I'm probably being pedantic. No, I know I am! I am also aware that definitions change over time. But the word "ambulance' comes from the Latin (I think) 'ambulare' (I also think!) meaning to walk . It's where we get the work 'amble' from. So strictly speaking an ambulance is a medical vehicle you can walk onto. They first came about to tend to the walking wounded.

Admittedly they had space to move and failed to do so in a quick manner. Emergency services in the US don't take laziness for an answer most of the time and rightly so.

All down to county governments and spending. Bloke in charge of highways has a couple million to spend before "end of year". And as he doesn't want to lose his spending for next year, sends his team of lads out to put as many "traffic calming measures" as they can to spend the money he doesn't want to lose. So no point suggesting that by saving money, it might be a good thing!!??

If there is a resource available, it gets dispatched as soon as possible, often while the call is still in progress and before it gets categorised. Depending on its eventual category, you may carry on on blue lights, or you may get stood down.
