Left or Right?

Everybody knows how stupid your cell phone customers are. But what do they do when they are done yelling at you because you won't waive the activation fee? They drive home. And of course, they are the most intelligent, courteous, and professional people on the road. NO! They leave our stores and they become f*cking idiots behind the wheel. Why are these people allowed to drive?

Last night driving to the hospital, half the people pulled over to the left. HALF! How f-ing stupid can people get? Let me set this up for you: You are driving along a four lane road with a small concrete barrier that separates the two directions. An ambulance is bearing down on you. Here's what people actually do. Instead of changing lanes and stoppin...

I keep asking my chief for a turret mounted machine gun, but I don't think the town is going to buy one.

Yeah it's ironic how ignorant some people can be!

I saw something like that the other night when I was driving as well. In this version though instead of the car pulling over to the right (the way people should!) this numbnut seems to think that because he is in front of the ambulance that this gives him the right to go just as fast as they are so he speeds up to match the speed of the ambulance to avoid the inconvenience of pulling over!

LOL makes you wonder how some people get out of bed everyday and dress themselves without aid! 🙄

I've often wondered if emergency responders are able to report idiots like this to the police. aemsafd?

I'm sure they can!

People like that keep the responders from doing their job, so i would say they call the police so they can both do their jobs!!

It seems every day that i am alive i feel smarter, because of all the stupidity that i am surrounded by!

If I recall correctly, an ambulance could hit a car on the road and the person driving that car would be ticketed for the accident.

It depends.

First: We work with the police. In our town, we have the same dispatch, so there's a very quick turnaround time. In the end, we both have the same mission, to protect life and health. Most police officers will view someone who ignores an ambulance with the same severity as someone disobeying a police officer. Problem is that we would be the witness, and it is almost a "he said she said" situation. Typically, if the cops do pull someone over, it would result in a very stern warning most likely. Depends on the situation though.

Kinda funny how that works!

I always think this is just stupid! Now, obviously it's the right thing to do when an ambulance or police are is coming to pull over to the right (of course)
But, I love how if your on the freeway with 3 lanes moving along, ambulance is coming up about 1/4 mile behind and in the fast lane everyone is getting out of the fast lane and pulling over one, maybe 2 lanes, if there is not a lot of traffic. But, WTF makes people think that during a busy day (not rush hour) on the freeway that you have to pull all the way over from the fast lane, cut over 2 lanes and STOP on the shoulder. 🙄 I know lets cut everyone off, because I have to stop, and cause a few more accidents, Hell-we have an ambulance right here they'll take care of us. 😳 I...

I like Officer Boscarelli from Third Watch:

"I have a siren, a gun, and a full tank of city gas. You WILL pull over for me!"
