Bruno   10 #13 Posted February 6, 2015 I had a similar experience a few days ago, I'm a volunteer first responder and was attending an emergency call where a car pulled up in the middle of the road trying to park up on opposite side of road but blocking me from passing, I quickly got out and asked if they would reverse back so I could get pass explaining I'm on an emergency call but was given verbal abuse, this cost 2 minutes of my response time.

Jonny5 Â Â 10 #14 Posted February 6, 2015 Not surprised. And despite plainly being in the wrong such people have too much pride and not enough self respect to admit it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
tzijlstra   11 #15 Posted February 6, 2015 Sheffield driving is generally shocking. Ive never been tailgated, cut up or road raged quite like it anywhere else.  It really isn't, but then that wouldn't be the only thing you are woefully wrong about. Try driving round Manchester for the day to see inconsiderate driving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Marksteeler   10 #16 Posted February 6, 2015 So the ambulance lady on a non emergency has admitted she illegally parked, but its the other driver at fault. surely she wouldnt have been blocked in if in fact she wasnt the one in the wrong. this was actually on the letters page of the star the other day Val had wrote in and also admitted in her letter she illegally used her blue lights to try and get him to move. Wonder what Vals thoughts would be if she had of blocked an emergency vechile on a call rather than blocking a member ofthe public.

scousemouse   10 #17 Posted February 6, 2015 I would like to think this excuse for a 'human' being is in need of an ambulance someone and does the same to him....Karma? It really defies belief, that someone could be so objectionable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Tommo68 Â Â 10 #18 Posted February 6, 2015 It is unfortunate that at times ambulances have to park either inconveniently for other road users and or sometimes illegally. Â Ambulance carry people granted not always emergencies but still people. When someone clamps down and stops all deliveryand collections that involve illegal or inconsiderate parking for anything but people I'll accept the questioning of the parking of this particualar ambulance. Â Biggest offenders have to be delivery lorries to both pubs and supermarkets often their drivers just think they own the road. More numerous although not as big a lorries is of course taxis some of their drivers stop just anywhere for a conversation at times regarless of anyone else. .

mickey finn   12 #19 Posted February 6, 2015 Sheffield driving is generally shocking.

Minimo   59 #20 Posted February 6, 2015 Ambulances are not appreciated by some ignorant people. When I had an emergency ambulance, while I was being attended to in my home, some delightful soul let down two of its tyres. There was a considerable delay while another ambulance was called. Fortunately I was none the worse for the delay (except for being in great pain) but that was two ambulances, one of which being out of action till it could be repaired.  Just what pleasure do these ignoramuses get out of it?

Try driving round Manchester for the day to see inconsiderate driving.  Agreed, I encounter far more tailgaters here in Sheffield than anywhere else, very odd.  I'm a professional driver (according to the Road Haulage Association) and drive all over the UK. In every city, town or village there are inconsiderate motorists/licence holders all over the place.  Drivers are in the minority in most places, licence holders are plentiful! There is a difference!

Mumma4 Â Â 10 #23 Posted February 6, 2015 I accidentally put my foot on the gas rather than the break whilst parking up at morrisons and hit a bollard pretty hard. I was 8 months pregnant and was in pain. An ambulance was called and I was taken onboard to be checked over. Whilst there the ambulance was obviously parked over some cars and one man was going particularly bonkers that he couldn't get out. The paramedics spoke to him but he still continued to rage. Eventually he attempted to try and get his car out, to no avail. He had no idea what was going on inside, he just saw that he was inconvenienced so went berserk at the paramedics!!

PPK9 Â Â 10 #24 Posted February 6, 2015 Driving down the parkway towards town this evening, I could see in my mirror that an ambulance with blue lights flashing was being held back by a bloke in a van all the way down until the traffic was that bad then the traffic in left hand lane all moved for the ambulance to get passed The dick in the van still didn't move over.
