Ambulance with Blues and Sirens going full blast.

A Walkers Crisps lorry did not move,completely ignored the ambulance.
Absolute scum.
That reminds me of a time some years ago when I was stationary at the head of some red traffic lights in the offside lane of a carriageway that had a central pelican crossing reservation thing.
Ambulance came shrieking up. It couldn't get through unless I moved. I had nowhere to go other than mounting this central reservation thing. So I did.
The ambulance got through.
I then tried to reverse back onto the carriageway, only to find that some plonker, obviously not concentrating, had moved forward into my place!
So there I was, stuck half on this central reservation, blocking pedestrians who needed to cross, and unable to see when the lights changed.
