Safe Speed Forums

A couple of classics this morning.
First a ambulance with blues and twos desperately trying to get past a 40s plenty crawler, on a main rural nsl with the 40's plenty driver totally oblivious to the ambualnce only feet from his bumper.
Second a woman in a 4x4 who was crawling along a NSL at about 40MPH but when she came across a large delivery HGV parked up she was in so much of a hurry she had to squeeze past it, causing two oncoming vehicles to brake to a stop...only to carry on merrily at 30MPH afterwards.

Are these people awake?....

They are safe though because they don't .......SPEED.

Ambulances aren't always blameless.

At a hospital today with a small layby outside for ambulances on a one way road past the front. One in there, then a car parked on the road just behind. Then an ambulance waiting to go in to the layby. But instead of waiting at the side, he was waiting just far enough round the parked car to stop any other vehicles getting by. Three or four cars sat there for a good five minutes unable to get by for no reason at all.
