Perhaps no one called the police. It is not always necessary for the police to attend damage only incidents.

TKDfella Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 A couple of days ago I was on my way to Tesco. Dual carriageway, but it bottlenecks at the market which can be jammed for a few minutes. Saw an ambulance coming up fast behind and even though I was on the left I slowed and pulled over a little more. Other traffic, 3 or 4 cars in front could have done the same but didn't and right on the bottleneck one car even stopped to let someone out of the passenger side, then it drove slowly along, waited till another car backed then parked. They just don't care...period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Tracy Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Number 1 - Fit a decent siren to these ambulances. Number 2 - Paint them a high vis colour. Number 3 - Give the ambo drivers a decent blue/red light driving course. Number 4 - Don't swerve into other vehicles or mount pavements. Write the offender's vehicle off. No one else's and no pedestrians. (Or saplings in this case, which could have been a pedestrian) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you continue to watch, it is also evident that the driver is being spoken to by a police officer. (see the still at 1:01) So I think the notion that there was no police action is unfounded.

DaRoadrunner Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) Thailand. If the illness does not kill you, the ambulance driver will. Should you make it to the hospital, there is the distinct possibility that an ignorant doctor will finish you off. As for the one making the U turn, typical ignorant selfish moron. They have a video and a reg number, yet still nothing is done? Edited February 3, 2020 by DaRoadrunner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say that. But at least civilised countries have a police force that is active i.e. on the road and not sitting in their offices and secondly, trying to solve crime issues without being paid first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, what you posted was your thought of how terrible it was that a citizen brought back the offender quicker than the police could have done. Instead you could have seen that as a good thing. I guess that´s how it is when the negative genes overpopulate the positive ones. Edited February 6, 2020 by Matzzon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
