Why would any decent driver cause an accident? When an ambulance is
around, everybody stops or slows down. Crashing into someone is almost
impossible.

Drives me up the wall. All these brainless idiots immediately slowing down
when they see an emergency vehicle instead of assessing the traffic and
gauging when they will meet the emergency vehicle or when it will be
behind them and pulling in at the appropriate time.


What frustrates me when I've pulled over to the side of the road or into a
layby is to find that each of the cars behind me sets off as soon as the
ambulance has gone past each one and therefore everyone pulls ahead of me,
instead of letting traffic set off roughly in the same order that it was
before everyone pulled over; this leads to a sort of "first shall be last
and last shall be first" reversal of order of traffic.


So what? Why do you have to stay in the same order?
