The video clip, recorded on May 10, 2023, by the dashboard camera of a Sawang Samed Chiang Mai Foundation ambulance, has since garnered widespread admiration on social media.

 

The footage reveals a dense traffic situation where the young man, whose identity remains unknown, can be seen sprinting ahead of the ambulance, reported Channel 7.

 

He gestures vigorously at the obstructing vehicles, persuading them to clear the way for the ambulance, thereby ensuring a smoother and quicker passage for the patient onboard.

I don't keep track but there are hardly weekly articles about this behavior.

Maybe 2 in a year reported?
