May pinadaan akong PGH Heart Center ambulance the other day along EDSA. Ford E-150 based so medyo hirap sumingit kaya nag full stop na ako to let him pass.

Yung lokong pampasaherong Revo, pilit na sumusunnod. Pero na block ko tapos ang sama ng tingin sa akin nung babae na nasa harap.

Toyota Revo (yello plate)
TXC-811

ako when i see an ambulance give way lang ako,pero yun nga lang,ang nakakainis yung mga bumbuntot,makikita niyo pang numero unong prumotor ng mga pagbubuntot sa ambulance ay yung mga PUV at tuwang tuwa pa yung mga lokong mga yan, sa kakatailgate at sa pagsingit singit nila against the traffic flow,galit pa nga yan pag nasita,kaya dapat lang sa mga ganyan maparusahan at matangalan ng lisensiya.

Paalala lang, kapag may balak kayo mag-full stop to let an ambulance thru, siguraduhin niyo muna na kasya yung ambulance dun sa space na binibigay niyo.

Dami kasi kapag narinig yung siren at nakitang parating yung ambulance tatabi lang ng konti at biglang preno. Eh hindi naman kasya yung ambulance, pati tuloy yung ambulance napapahinto (lalo na yung mga widebody at trauma vans).

That's why there are some situations wherein we prefer that the vehicle in front of the ambulance not completely stop, just slow down. Kapag maluwag luwag na saka lumipat sa shoulder and huminto.

Actually the rule of thumb is to pull over. Slow down, pull to the shoulder and come to a complete stop to give full way to the emergency vehicles.

Unfortunately local conditions are less than ideal. In most roads there are no shoulders to pull over to. This is especially true in the area I cover the most (Makati and other nearby cities). Sometimes, the transport officer (the driver) is caught off guard by motorists that suddenly slam on the brakes without checking if there is enough clearance to squeeze through. Although their attempts to pull over is appreciated, sometimes there is literally no room to pull over and we all just end up stuck togeter.

Last night, I was surprised to see an SUV tailing a fire truck even when the fire truck was blowing its horn, all light beacons blazing, and all cars pulling over to get out of the way. It was following it quick enough so I couldn't get his license plate. If I did I would have called the police to notify them...

Not only in the Philippines...
