I saw this accident last night. When the ambulances where trying to get through the traffic, some drivers activly blocked their path. They had lights, sirens on and Gizz Wiggs were used.

The ambulance that travelled North and did an about turn at the monument, had some driver not yield and tried to T-Bone the ambulance. The screeching of their hard braking tyres was loud.

Most drivers did try to get out of the way and let the ambulance through.

In Thailand, when an accident happens, most of the time the perpetrator will flee the scene and on many occasions other drivers will not give way to the ambulance.
