I think you misread the comment. He's saying the opposite, ambulances and firetrucks could damage a citizen's car if it's blocking the emergency vehicle--not the other way around.
- teh_klev 10y ago> they have the right to smash your vehicle to get past Um...I'm pretty sure that reads as "if your car is in the way they get to drive into it to move it out of the way". I like to think our emergency services drivers aren't driving such a reckless manner as to be smashing into stationary vehicles along the way to a shout. Perhaps GP's comment is poorly worded and they mean that the emergency services have a right to break into a vehicle by way of smashing windows to facilitate its removal.
