"If an ambulance running red lights pulls up simultaneously with a cop and a US Post OFfice vehicle, who has the right of way?". The answer as we teach is, first the cop (law enforcement) then thr USPost (Government) and then the ambulance. Red lights as it turns out don't mean we have the right away, in fact a civilain vehicle that arrived at the four way stop before us may choose to not yield the right of way.<BR/><BR/>We also watched to make sure that one of the people at the stop wasn't my Dad (we carry his picture on our dashboards and we are 5 states away)<BR/>I have known mature ambulance drivers to abandon their rig in tears, cryuing out in shame and fear, "it was your dad, he looked for fear and found it!" Then there was the inevitable followup "and who was that hot chick that ran the stop right afterwards?".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15040772.post-1156539752954970302006-08-25T14:02:00.000-07:002006-08-25T14:02:00.000-07:00Having worked on an ambulance for many years I can...Having worked on an ambulance for many years I can tell you the "no fear" thing doesn't always work.<BR/><BR/>Now there are additional rules for the 4 ways stop, based upon the type of vehicle.
