Ambulance VS Jeepney - what is your take on this accident?

[thejerk]

I was about to comment about right of way dun sa isang thread about taxi vs. SUV. Eto rin palagi ko sinasabi sa kapatid ko.Kahit right of way ka pa, iba pa rin ang nag-iingat. Suppose nasa right of way ka at nabangga ka. Okay, menos gastos ka kasi either sagot ng insurance mo or nung nakabangga.... pero your vehicle may never be the same as it was before your accident. Buti sana kung superficial lang, like gasgas or dent. Idagdag mo pa yung sobrang hassle.

so true. napansin ko sa attitude ng pagmaneho dito parang bawal malamangan. pag nakikisakay mga kaklase ko na mga bata pa(2nd courser ako) sa akin niloloko ako na para daw ako tatay magmaneho. sinasabi ko na lang na mas okay na magingat, hawak ko rin mga buhay nila.

sana naman walang sakay yung ambulansya na dadalhin sa ospital.. kawawa naman...dapat kasi nag menor si manong jeepney driver. tanung ko lng, anung nangyari sa jeep after sumalpok sa ambulansya? daming usong sa tambutso ah? lalong umapak ba sa silinyador?

yes ambulance and emergency vehicles have the right of way, ang kaso bigla sumulpot si ambulance... oo may siren, kaso sa ingay sa kalye at dahil n din sa haba ng oras ng pamamasada eh baka na bingi na yan...

again yes the ambulance has a right of way, sana lang di sya bigla sumulpot pra naka preno pa ang on comming traffic...

i have always believed that it is unwise to attempt saving a life by endangering other innocent lives.
like all other motor vehicles, ambulances have only privileges, not rights. they still have to wait for the other vehicles to grant them the privilege.
and the jeepney driver? it's tempting to blame him, but hey! if he says he didn't hear the siren, i'd believe him. how many of us have fallen victim to our limited human sense of hearing? and the way the ambulance shot out from behind the covering traffic, i wouldn't have seen him, either.

he was gunning his engine, then tumama. the impact would be transmitted from the rear wheels to the prop shaft, tranny and to the engine. broken crankshaft or con rod? that would be like running an engine at high speed then suddenly stopping it (not just stop na turning the key, but stop na sudden todo stop). the momentum is bound to go somewhere.

na-alog yung decade-aged carbon deposits kaya nasama sa usok ng tambutso.

may siren naman siguro yung ambulance. imposibleng hindi nya maririnig

I agree, kung gumagana yun, yari talaga jeepney, Plus kung titignan mo, naghahabol talaga si jeepney sa green light. Dyan rota niyan, malamang alam niya malapit na mag-red kaya ayun, "typical" ugaling mali, trying to accelerate instead of slowing down sa intersection.
