Pull Over for Emergency Vehicles!!!
We were in our golf cart going north on Buena Vista in the vicinity of Arnold Palmer CC early this afternoon. An ambulance, with its siren sounding and lights flashing, was approaching from the south. There must have been 20 vehicles ahead of that ambulance at the time, all of whom could easily hear the siren and see the lights on that long stretch of highway. Only 2 pulled over to allow it to pass! They all had ample time and space to do so, but instead held the ambulance back. We have seen this far, far too often recently in TV.
SHAME ON THOSE WHO DID NOT PULL OVER!!! And those who did not, think about this: If you've ever had a loved one, clinging to life, either waiting for the EMT's or being rushed to the hospital, you might be a little less self-involved. Certainly, you'd expect everyone else to make way for them. Nothing - and no one - is so important that he or she has the right to impede an emergency vehicle! The same goes for police vehicles. They have the right of way! You don't! IT'S THE LAW!
