Irresponsible abulance drivers

[macsd]

Ideally, i would give way to ambulance specially when their wang-wang is on with matching glaring lights. But sometimes is it really worth giving them the rigth of way.

Case 1.

About 3 yrs ago along SLEX between Susana & San Pedro saw this ambulance with all wang-wang & strove lights from my rear view mirror nearing my tail so i gave way. We were heading south bound and got to tail it. When we got to reach Sta Rosa exit, saw the ambulance stop in front of Waltermart only to unload 5 passengers. The ambulance belongs to Sta Rosa City.

Case 2.

About 7pm cruising the traffic of Mindanao Avenue heading Trinoma. I a near the traffic light at the intersection of North & Mindanao Ave, here come's an ambulance on the other lane doing a counter flow with wang-wang & stove lights again. Scoop his way into the busy intersection an headed straight into Trinoma when in fact V Luna hospital is just on the left side. After i turned left into North Ave, i stopped on the side to get off my car. Approached the 3 MMDA idiots on the middle island. I asked them did you saw what the ambulance did? They all said yes & in tune it's on an emergency. I ****ing screwed the 3 MMDA, What ****ing emergency your talking about when the ambulance is from Valenzuela and went inside the mall instead of behind you which is V Luna hospital. it took them sometime to realized they were just as a fool just like most juan dela cruz na gutom.

Case 3

Just this morning along La Loma in front of Chinese genral Hospital. Got caught into heavy traffic and hear comes an ambulance from Marilao. Again wang-wang & lights on. To my surprise it never entered CGH and found it in front of UST hospital along Lacson.

With this abusive ambulance drivers who taught driving a car with wang-wang give's them full authority to abuse it, i have learned so much lesson not to give them any space. Sirens are for emergency so why the heck it cannot be brought to the nearest hospital in cases of emergency? The obvious is they may be transporting patients but then again, the case is not emergency so why the wang-wang. Worse, why is it used for other purpose aside from transporting cases of emergency specially LGUs that sometimes it used by their staff , security escort & outings. Again, why are LGUs being issued ambulances when these vehicles should be under the use of hospitals & DOH? What a waste of goverment funds (pork barrel) & PCSO.

You'll never know if it is indeed an emergency, so I suggest you just give way just to be safe. It won't take you much time if you give way to an ambulance. Just do your part as a responsible citizen.

Its a sad reality.

looking at our rear view / side mirrors you can never tell

kaya benefit of the doubt pa din na meron sakay na emergency yung ambulance.

Kung balasubas / being bully sa daan ang usapan?

Still no one beats mga impaktong armored van drivers.

agree on that
my female officemate had an experience earlier this morning with a balasubas armored van at corner of edsa and pasay road

i always give way to emergency services regardless of their motive...

too bad that some are utilizing it just for the sake of the things the ts mentioned.

but i don't give way to those escort crap, except if it's the commander and chief's convoy

Sir sa Case 1, mali din yung ginawa mong hagad yung ambulance... you gave way but in the end sinundan mo lang so that its also faster for you to reach wherever you are going.

Sa Case 2 and 3 naman, not because emergency yun eh sa pinakamalapit na hospital dadalhin ang pasyente.. kung walang pambayad yung pasyente natural sa Public Hospital yun dadalhin.. or any preferred hospital nung family ng pasyente.

Benefit of the doubt. Just give way sir. Sayang lang talaga na may abusive elements out there.

[cpsolt]

ilan lang yung nakita mong balasubas siguro. PGH is full of them from all over with some being turned away by ER doctors and referred to Jose Reyes instead. (which is another quality healthcare story)

eh kung makita mo ambulance ng funeral parlor pag katapos mo pag bigyan eh kups pala mag maneho

ano emergency ng ambulance ng funeral parlor eh patay na yon!!! :injured::shocked2:

ang hirap mag maneho sa pinas, need talaga maging defensive driving, in short... YOU are responsible for your own safety and no one else is :rockon::bleh:

Mahirap na, baka masulot ng ibang punerarya.

You won't be able to tell if someone inside the van is dying. Who knows? It might be someone you know. Do you want to be the reason why they didn't make it to the hospital on time? I can imagine there would be a few rotten apples who abuse their sirens but I would rather be inconvenienced and let ambulances through than have a stranger's death on my conscience.

sa traffic sa manila imposible magkaron ng dedicated lane for that.

or maybe gamitin din ng mga PUVs yan.

walang imposible kung gusto nila.. yung bulok na yellow lane nga at yung walang kwentang motorcycle lane isusulsol nila sa motorista basta naisipan nila eh.. yan pang Fire Lane na kahit sa abroad meron.. isang lane lang naman yan na obligado kang ivacate once na may emergency.

walang sinabi yang case ni TS sa case ko

Case 1: Kasabayan ko isang ambulance sa makapal na trapik all of a sudden biglang nag wangwang then nam bully na, muka nainip yung driver.

Case 2: There was a fast approaching from behind me an ambulance with siren and blinkers on along the stretch of McArthur hiway somewhere in Tarlac, so what I did, I gave way of course, then after maybe half an hour kumain ako sa isang resto then I saw the same ambulance kumain lahat sila pati pasyente wala kasi tao sa ambulance.

Kaya hindi narin ako naniniwala sa mga yan.

[_Cathy_]

I always give way.

Nakakaduda lang talaga pag govt ambulance. Naniniwala lang ako na emergency talaga pag lifeline or any other private ambulance service.

Agree ako na may nangaabuso na mga ambulance at di ito tama. Aside dun sa mga comment na we really don't know the real story kung emergency o hinde, eh panu pag nabangga ka ba nila o nabangga mo sila may mahahabol ka ba sa kanila? Yung walang laman na ambulance madali lng naman nilang palusutin na susunduin pa lng yung pasyente o may isa pa silang pasyente. Pwede ring doktor pala yung kasama nila at may emergency na pupuntahan o magduduty pa. May mga ambulance din na ginagawang panghakot ng mga gamot, so pwede ring idahilan na kailangan na yung mga gamot sa ospital.

So pagbigyan mo na lng sila. IMHO gamitin nung ambulance yung wang wang nya o hinde in 99.99% of the time ganun pa din naman disposisyon mo/ di ka apektado (Nasa trapik ka padin o tumabi ka lng ng sandali). Ibang usapan syempre pag may napipirwisyo sila but most of the testimonials dito parang wala namang perwisyong dinulot sa nagkwento ;)

Wal naman mawawala Kung pagbigyan niyo ambulance, mobile cars, fire trucks and the presidential convoy. Baka matulad kayo doon sa police na ayaw magbigay Sa convoy ni pnoy..
