Be careful out there...........

[DILLIGAFF]

Drove down to the local shops this morning.


FIRST ROUNDABOUT


There was an ambulance coming so I waited. 4x4 woman coming the other way pulled onto the roundabout in front of the ambulance, then stopped? He put his siren on and she, now totally confused, drove onto the grass in the middle to let him pass????????????????????




SECOND ROUNDABOUT


Here we go again. A Merc. had managed to drive straight through, over a road sign and into a garden taking out a golf on the way. Finished halfway up the fence with the nose in the air?




FFS :eek :rolleyes :'(

Grahamm..............good video, but so sad it is needed.


Surely if you don't possess enough common sense to work this out for yourself, maybe the bus would be safer for all road users?

The problem is, as the OP suggests, some people just freeze up or panic because they don't know what to do when there's an emergency vehicle behind them with twos and blues going. I've seen someone pull over to the kerb right opposite a pedestrian refuge in the middle of the road, meaning a fire engine couldn't get through, so it had to blast on its horn to get them to shift out of the way...

At least if people watch that video they should have some idea of what to do (if they can remember it...!)

I have also seen drivers just stop even when the emergency vehicle is coming the other way on a dual carriageway??????????

I pulled over the other night for an ambulance only to be overtaken by an opportunist taxi driver who then didn't bother pulling over anyway, twat.
