I was driving down the road as I do most days, and then I heard it the sound of a siren of the sound of my music. I immediately slowed down and began to move to the side of the road. The ambulance was rushing to the hospital, And then I saw something that really “pissed me off” People were not moving to the side of the road they just kept driving normally. I am not sure if people know this but it is against the law to not pull over when an emergency vehicle is approaching.

It doesn’t matter which direction it is traveling, it is your responsibility and obligation to move your ass over to the side of the road and get the hell out of the way. What would you do if you where dieing and some lunk head didn’t get out of the way to let you through to get the proper medical treatment. I am sorry maybe I am being harsh but this is something that really makes me angry. When I was a kid I remember I would get excited when a emergency vehicle would come down the road because everyone would move over. It made those sirens such a powerful device.

But know maybe it is Hollywood and the car chases where it seems no one ever gets out of the way. In my humble opinion those people should be dragged out of there cars and beat.

Or maybe it is that today’s world really has no sense of right and wrong. When I was a kid it was wrong to not pullover and stop. Now we live in a me, me, me world and we don’t give a second though about anyone else even if there life is at stake. You might think it is just an ambulance or a fire truck its not some ones life. Well just a heads up their job is to save lives and if you where the one who called I know you would be pissed if someone hindered it.

So get your ass out of the way.
