Does this look familiar to you? You are driving along on a two-lane road, minding your own business. Suddenly, you see an ambulance coming from the opposite direction, heading who knows where. Boy, I hope that person is ok, you think to yourself. Suddenly, the person in front of you SLAMS on their brakes. WTF?!
Why do people panic so much when they see an ambulance coming IN THE OPPOSITE FREAKING DIRECTION. I can see stopping at an intersection, but it's a two-lane road people. What the hell are you stopping for? "Oh noes, an ambulance!! I better come to a complete stop even though he is nowhere near me and I am not impeding his movement!!!" Just keep going the same speed, idiot...I don't think the ambulance of death is suddenly going to swerve over and hit you head on.
It's also comical watching people try to get out of the way of an emergency vehicle coming from behind. There is such an "oh shit" quality to it, it's pretty hysterical. "OK, INSTEAD OF KEEPING STEADY SPEED AND LETTING HIM GO AROUND ME, I AM GOING TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND LOGJAM TRAFFIC MAKING IT HARDER FOR HIM TO GET THROUGH LOL." If I was an ambulance driver, I would give the finger to all of these people.
