Not saying walang mali yung Ambulance driver.

i think jeepney driver has a split second to make a decision, he heard a siren while gunning for the green light, he doesnt know where the siren is coming from,
pag ako kasi nakakarinig ng ambulance, i stay on my lane, swlo down, then assert where is the ambulance, then change lane/signal so i can move out of the way.
"should i gun it since im not seeing any ambulance? or should i slow down for any chance that he might pop-out on that intersection?"
given that question, i admit theres a 40% chance i might still proceed to intersection with caution, remember its a split second decision, though i think "caution" wouldnt be enough to brake before hitting the ambulance.

I've watched it like 50 times. At the high rate of speed both vehicles were approaching each other, the jeepney couln't have heard or seen the ambulance until they were several meters from the intersection box. But by then, it was already too late for the jeepney to do anything.
Also, you cannot really tell from the CCTV coverage how loud the siren was or how visible the flashing lights were from where the jeepney was coming from, up until the last couple of seconds. Simply, the ambulance came from the wrong side of the road and attempted to ran through a stoplight. The least it could've done was slow down enough to check for approaching traffic.

Ang pinakamalaking pagkakamali ng jeepney eh trying to get ahead of the yellow-red light. Talagang reckless yun. Instead of slowing down, hinataw niya like most stupid drivers would do!

This is what I did when I saw an ambulance in hurry with or without proper lightnings and or siren.
Tabi agad lalo na kung makakaluwag at makakalusot ang ambulance. Nakaka-inis lang sa mga jeep mukhang talagang hindi nila alam na "we regular motorist should always yield to an ambulance".
Hindi lang naman ambulance ang dapat nating pagbigyan ng daan, nandyan din ang bumbero at convo...
Ang problema, "know how" ng mga motorista. Mas marami ang hindi nakakaalam at sa mga nakakaalam, sa mga nakakaalam meron din dyang madadamot o manhid talaga.
