Srsly, it amazes me when ppl don't get out of the way for emergency vehicles.

IMHO one random day out of the year, you should be equipped with heavy machine guns and allowed to blast anyone in your way. A simple solution for a simple problem.

Yeah, but then we just need more ambulances to deal with those folks, and so on... I suspect it would ramp up in polynomial fashion...

As a pedestrian I think the thinking generally is "if the ambulance runs me over, at least there's already an ambulance around to patch me up".

As a driver... well, I guess they're just being selfish idiots.

While that's true... here's hoping we weren't on the way to someone who needed an ambulance 5 minutes ago...
