Less ironically, I'm looking forward to pushing a button on the dashboard of my ambulance that automatically preempts the road ahead.

- devsquid 12y agoSrsly, 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.
- pluma 12y agoAs 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.
- JshWright 12y agoWhile that's true... here's hoping we weren't on the way to someone who needed an ambulance 5 minutes ago...
- JshWright 12y agoYeah, but then we just need more ambulances to deal with those folks, and so on... I suspect it would ramp up in polynomial fashion...

- JshWright 12y agoWhile it is impressive that they stayed out of the way, I suspect the vehicle that blazed that trail had a slightly slower go of it...
