I would have asked 911 to have the ambulance to try and intercept you on the trip.

I am very glad she is alright. You were frustrated and frightened and it didn't go the way you hoped it would.

What started as a quick drive to get my sister who was helping me in the yard in our home in Monarch Grove a ride to ER at Brownwood. She developed hives on her and was itching, which has happened before. So we jumped in the car and headed that way, suddenly her airway was getting compromised, just before the water Lilly bridge area, so things were getting urgent, I knew I was only a little over a mile or so from the ER We decided to continue on versus calling 911 we came up on two cars on in each lane and I drove up behind the Lexus in the left and started frantically honking my horn and waving my arms to move, I honked several times to no avail not only did he not move forward he slowed down and held me so I could not get by. We followed him honking and waving frantically neither car would move just kept riding side-by-side as if to try to tell me to slow down like it was their job, Instead of wondering gee, why are they so frantic honking and waving!! I was finally able to get by them at the last traffic circle and rushed to the ER by the time we arrive my sister was having great difficulty breathing and they took her back immediately. My point is not everyone who is in a hurry is just being an inpatient jerk, Sometimes there is true emergencies and at that point we were doing what anybody would do for their own family I hope you are proud of yourself for acting like an arrogant idiot because you not only kept us from passing, but you turned looked right at me as we tried to go by like it was your job to hold me back… thankfully we arrived just in the nick of time, but if it had been a longer ride things may have been different think twice about it before you believe you are the road police. And no I don’t need any lectures on driving her because I am a nurse of 30 years and at the point we left the house she was not having breathing issues we just we’re heading that way quickly but things changed.

Your situation has made me think. Maybe honking S O S would have worked.

If someone is going slower than traffic and is not going the speed limit then they can be cited for that but,

Florida law does say that it is illegal to break the speed limit even to pass.

We have been around this tree OVER AND OVER.

And yes, let's condone/promote road rage and assulating someone with a deadly weapon - an automobile.

This has to be one of the most whacked out responses I’ve seen. I don’t even know where to start. Have the ambulance try and intercept you enroute? Seriously?

I drove an ambulance for 10 years. Occasionally ambulances will meet the patient enroute; many factors dictate this need.
