Karma

Dear LA Drivers,

The law states that when you see/hear an ambulance coming your way, you move over to the right and stop your car to give them the right of way. So when I move to my right, that's not a signal for you to speed past me because I'm giving YOU the right of way. You are actually supposed to stop like everyone else.

Or, if I'm the first car in a long line of cars at a red light and an ambulance is headed my way, I'm not going to drive through the intersection because I assume that the ambulance is NOT going to turn left in front of me. Do you see what I mean? That could be a potentially fatal accident for me, the EMT crew and the people in the ambulance. I'm not in that much of a hurry to get to work.

So the next time you see an ambulance with its sirens blaring, pull over and stop your car. Because if you ever need an ambulance, I'm pretty sure you'll want karma on your side.

Thanks!

  1. Argh! That is one of my pet peeves. You pull over b/c you're supposed to and then everyone behind you decides to speed past! Losers.
