not having watched the video yet when i read this, i thought the poster was just being sarcastic. but after having watched the very clear video, and at several different angles at that... this post makes sense.
given it's in a philippine (or manila) setting... mukhang mali nga yung ambulansya. green pa naman when the jeep came speeding by since clear naman yung intersection. clearly from camera 2, a few meters before the jeep reached the intersection, nag-yellow. aminin natin, normally, kahit naman ako o ikaw yun that means you're still in the clear kasi it takes a few seconds pa naman bago maka-react yung mga nasa red light. eh yung ambulansya counterflow na nga di pa nag-menor sa intersection. natakot yata maunahan.
be that as it may, pag inimbestigahan na ito... kung ano pa rin ang nasa rule book yun ang pagbabasehan. so doon medyo talo ang jeepney driver dahil parang beating the red light na rin ang dating nung ginawa nya. kaya nga maganda alamin mo rin ang rules para you can drive manila-style, but just within the envelope of what the law states.

Thanks for the correction. I was having a hard time identifying the vehicle. from the badge, akala ko foton or some china brand van. Now that you mentioned it, I browsed Google images for El Grand and saw one similar to this. It's awfully short to be used as an ambulance though.
THIS should be made a manual for these LGU drivers and other EMS drivers for that matter.
Hmmmmm..
According to my attorney, the jeepney driver can use Contributory Negligence as a defense and the Ambulance party will NOT be able to get anything from him (as if naman may makukuha sila sa kanya. hahaha!) should the judge rule in his favor because from the video, it's pretty easy to see that the Ambulance driver used his ROW as if it's a force field and completely disregarded the safety of the other road users present at the time.
Just because they're trying to save a life, I believe they should not put others in danger.

Mitigating circusmtances na lang siguro yun ng jeepney driver para mabawasan penalty niya. Pero for sure yari siya.

January 10th, 2013 10:58 AM #47I'm pretty sure that I'm not alone in saying that initially, we all subconsciously ruled out the jeepney driver completely at fault due to prejudice after years of being annoyed by their habits and attitudes, plus the unnecessary traffic they cause.
And that even after taking a second look and realizing that a little foresight from the ambulance could have avoided the accident altogether (because who expects prudence and decent behavior from a jeepney driver?), still quite can't put some weight on the side of the jeepney.

January 10th, 2013 11:05 AM #48LTO issues license to drive, while both drivers intents are driving with a license to kill.
Jeepney drivers - sa halagang 8 pesos isinusugal ang buhay ng pasahero nya at buhay ng iba.
Ambulance driver - has a obligation to save lives, but not to the extent to risk lives of others while performing his duties.

Nagsalita na si Doc! Indeed, I feel terrible that my requests for holding a driver training seminar for the hospital have not come to fruitition yet. After this video, I'd like to hold it for the entire city.
Given that emergency vehicles have right of way, the fact that the light was green and the ambulance was not visible till it crossed only mitigates the Jeepney driver's culpability partially... doesn't remove it.Last edited by niky; January 10th, 2013 at 12:10 PM.

January 10th, 2013 12:06 PM #50i do agree on you hindi porket emergency ka na eh wala ka na paki alam sa paligid mo.
considering it's an intersection dapat manlang nag menor sya ng konti before mag proceed kasi di mo talaga alam what will going to happen.
remember the ferrari sa singapore intersection din yun and kahit anong bilis ng kotse isang iglap lang yan magugulat ka nalang
Buhay na buhay ang BGC this evening. Bukas halos lahat ng restaurants. Sabi pa nung isang cashier...
Traffic!
