Too often I am driving or riding, and I see a COMPLETE FAILURE of the public to yield or pull over and give the Right-of-Way to Emergency Vehicles. I do not understand why it is so hard to hear or see a Very Large Fire Engine or Ambulance with their Very Loud Sirens and Very Bright Lights on. What is even more puzzling is that more times than none the drivers have their windows down.!!! Better yet is when they have a Fire Department/Ambulance Sticker on their back window!!!! Don't tell me they cannot hear those sirens and horns. Now I know someone will ask do I work on a Fire Engine or Ambulance and the answer is YES I DO! When seconds count and emergency services are delayed because of somebody that will not yield it is somebodies family member possible dying, or somebodies house burning down with someone possible trapped inside. More and more lately when we pass by we get dirty looks because GOD FORBID we inconvenience them when they finally do pull over. All I ask is for everybody to pay more attention to their surroundings because who knows the life you save may be your own!! At the top you will see and should read the Emergency Vehicle section from the California Drivers Handbook 2007. Thank You and I'll see you on the street.
