@strauss135 Carson SA 500

Awsome. Just Awsome. I love the part when the medic starts to sing his way through traffic.

[TRIXSTER03]

You have to be 16 to do a ride-along. But age 19 to take the PCP/ Primary Care Paramedic course.

Gotta love the singing! lol... "good time when you get outta my waaaayy...."

[yellowfungis]

"any time is a good time to get out of my way".... YES!!!!

@ylen13 If I get a call of you in arrest,and I respond to that call.You'll be hoping that no one gets in my way so I can come resusitate your sorry ass as fast a possible.

[ylen13]

@rileyhmt Sorry about that you're correct, i reply to wrong person.

[rileyhmt]

@ylen13 - and just when did I say that I would push you off the road? I believe you have the wrong person.

[wheedc]

@ylen13 Lol.. don't pull over for an ambulance? really? Why do you think yuo are so high and mighty? Oh well, karma always get fucktards liek you anyway. And if i seen someone doign that, and i was in a position to do so, I would push them outta the ambulance's way with my truck. no cop = never happened.

[rileyhmt]

That's actually the law from two different aspects. The first being that it is simply the law that you can be cited for failure to yield. It does happen whether you're the driver or not. Secondly, you'd get charged for hindering a police investigation. That's also happened a couple times in my day.

[ylen13]

@rileyhmt Good luck with that. You can't site an owner of the vehicle as that person is not responsible for the action of the driver. A simple state it wasn't me driving will be enough to dismiss the ticket. Btw the owner is not required to tell the cops who was driving. Owner is not required to do their job.

[rileyhmt]

@ylen13 - I also speak from experience being as how I work with all four aspects of public safety, both full time and volunteer. We will cite you for failure to yield. And yes, it does happen. It may not have happened that ONE time, but like I said, if you are intentionally creating an issue, we will cite you.

[ylen13]

@rileyhmt No it's very simple no ticket is issue. I speak from experience.

[rileyhmt]

@ylen13 - That's generally what traffic court is for. Explain red light cameras? Do you think every registered owner is cited? Look, I'm not here to argue, I simply stated what happens often times. And GENERALLY it would never happen unless you intentionally wouldn't move from the from the front of our ambulance.

[ylen13]

@rileyhmt I guess you didn't read other reply(s). Register owner is not responsible for the action of the driver. As such unless police officer witness the violation(s) and pulls vehicle over nothing will happen. That ticket will easily be dismissed and likely not even issued as police officer do not know who was driving the vehicle. Would you like to try again?

[rileyhmt]

@ylen13 - Sorry, I know this is a little overdue, but generally in most places we nab your license plate and you get a ticket in the mail for failure to yield... anyways.

[bd5035]

Good driving :)  You actually STOPPED a looked at the red.

[MidnightPolak]

@406314 I can't remember...either I didn't have much memory left on my card, or we were very close to arriving on scene and I had to get my gloves on haha.

[ylen13]

@Snosbod My lawyer(s) would love it if you did that. They would have fun time suing your department for pain and suffering.

[Snosbod]

@ylen13 You act like an angsty little teenager. You're grammar sucks. You need to come to my town and see how we would react to you obstructing our apparatus. We'd put you right in your place, on the side of the road.

[ylen13]

@Snosbod If 35 year old is teenager by your standard, then yes i am teenager. No have put me in place yet and unlikely to do so anytime soon. Unless cop is around they cant' do anything about me ignoring them.

[Snosbod]

@ylen13 They are not requesting. They are simply giving you fair warning to move your ass out of the way. They are not asking for you to please pull over at your convenience, that siren mean move and do so now. Cop or no cop, they have the right of way. It's ok though, you are probably a teenager and have no clue how the world works. You'll learn and one day someone will put you in your place. Until then, keep sniffing your mother's underwear.

[ylen13]

@TRIXSTER03 I guess my family member or me may not make it. Oh well, we can only die once, so if I or my family members die we die, it's life.

[TRIXSTER03]

@ylen13---What if this ambulance was on it's way to help one of your family members or even yourself for that matter? I bet you would be bitching because the ambulance didn't respond quick enough because some idiot driver blocked the ambulance and didn't pull over like they should. It's people like you that take seconds/ minutes off saving a persons life and I have no respect for these people.
