That is a hell of a commercial the AARP is running
with the Paramedic rig.

Having driven an ambulance just like that one... I am PROOF POSITIVE they did that at most 20 MPH... trust me, they are top heavy and hard as hell to drive.

But the add makes the point very well.

Oh and I have had people in real life pull those stunts too.

:-(

1. Yes!
I posted about this as soon as I saw it earlier today. :D

It grabs your attention and keeps it. Aand those first cars blocking the path of the paramedics look like fancy-shmancy cars, too. At least that's how it seemed to me.

Here's the video on YT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNrUAve-opU

3. I just had flashbacks to idiots doing just that to ME with Lights and Sirens
:-)

I remember telling an idiot over the PA

Spanish... pull to the right... nope

English Pull to the right. Middle finger salute

Pull to the right or I am calling the cops!

He did, I still called the cops and he still got his ticket. No mordida on that one.
