at 0:17 is the Nissan a firefighter responding?

@greenbaygpg No, those are my emergency lights reflecting in his tail lights.

@coolsax64 Sooooo... what you're saying is.  When you are driving to the mountains for your vacation with your family, and a drunk driver crosses the center line and hits you head on. You really, honestly, want the emergency vehicle that is "marked" to be the first one to you? Even though you're in the middle of nowhere and the only folks around are some volunteers with a dash light, a radio, EMS supplies and training?

freakin assholes! especially the guy with the boat...did you give him the finger when you went by? lol

Well that guy in the truck was listening to dubstep so he couldn't hear you...good job though! You were not immature and weaving in and out of lanes

@coolsax64 your ignorant. there is a reason why there are volunteer ff's.

I HATE living in VA!. here we can ONLY have one light unit. No Siren. and we have to obey all traffic laws.....that includes the speed limit.

@mmarlin163 i agree,people do get the misunderstanding of men and even women doing whats right trying to sincerly help someone. My father is a retired bc/ff/emt with over 33 years experience paid/vol/ems in rankin co, ms. Im a soldier and a volunteer firefighter in my hometown. People give us lip at times for their misunderstandings and even pure anger. It kills me when people do that.

Nice Video - Every state has different laws, but here in Virginia we cannot run sirens - only lights. There can only be 2 light sources, and we have to obey all red lights, stop signs, and speed limits. No exceptions.

Nicely done! What kind of car are you driving? Maybe that has something to do with it, and my simple solution is get a old fire engine air horn that might help.
