My daughters main complaint is that people don't get out of the way when
they see a large flourescent yellow/green ambulance with flashing blue
lights - assuming they actually notice it in the first place.

She ran over a dog a few months ago, it was on a lead at the time. Woman
walking it had stopped at a Zebra crossing. Bex approached on blues & twos,
used the repeater siren.

I've always wanted a set of those on my car. The sirens and lights I
mean, not the fluorescent excessences.

They have great repeater sirens in Moscow - loud and low pitched
honking sound. I would *really* like one of those.



Woman walked onto the crossing in front of her,
then 'spotted' the ambulance & stepped backwards - leaving the dog on the
end of the lead.

Since it was a dog & had to be reported to the police, she had to radio
control for another ambulance to collect the cardiac arrest patient in the
back of her truck - who fortunately survived.

I suppose that the dog didn't?

(Is Bex short for Bexley, BTW? :-) )
