Wow, I can't believe they didn't have the one where Homer takes Bart's place jumping the canyon on a skateboard. He missed it, crashed to the bottom, then the roped him out on a stretcher, hitting his head all the way up, then the ambulance crashed and he was ejected out the back, back into the canyon.

Yep-Doesn't belong here because like myself, a buncha folks can't stand that faces-of-death shit for the sake of entertainment or spectacle....it's fucking twisted as far as I'm concerned and deleterious otherwise to the psyche and soul to meditate on the same, voyeuristically-speaking....reflects a general lack of healthy socialization and higher-cortical function.

Get a fucking life, stop watching ambulances and listening to television news stories about the carnage, fires, wife-beatings and human suffering in your local area, and have a NICE goddamned day

Can I down-vote this fucking shit that's not snuff but sucks huge, bulging moose cock yet??

Which means Johnny Law-Chaser here gets to be battered and fried a bit today....Splendid!

So, a prematurely-balding ambulance-chaser walks into a gay bar....

ChildlikeCherry(what a fucking douchebag!!) and personal injury attorney, Prick Spamstein...I am an ambulance-chasing pinworm, dedicated to whoring-myself out as an agent of the state, to rise to doucheness on the backs of the suffering and soon-to-be-bankrupt masses. Please, *bannish me to the land of dick breath.

That was what I was thinking. They were pulled over far in advance, I would guess due to a prior emergency vehicle going through. Sure there were a few stranglers trying to sneak ahead of the traffic jam some, but for the most part everyone was parted long before they would have heard the ambulance coming down the line. From the looks of the wreck they came up on at the end, I'd guess they had been waiting for some time already.

This was not in reaction to that ambulance. People don't pull over for ambulances far too back to hear. This was something else. We all pull to the sides here too but we dont stay there.

It's not just Germany that this sort of thing happens - I saw the same thing happen here in the UK about 6 months ago. I was stuck in the traffic jam at the time, and you could see everyone pulling to the side of the road as they noticed the oncoming ambulance... it was almost as if it had been rehearsed beforehand....

*sigh* If only we could do that here. I've pulled over for ambulances only to have the car behind me dash around me suddenly and head-on into the ambulance. Right in front of the hospital too. You'd think that medical looking think on the back of my Jeep would be a giveaway that I might actually pull over. Guess not.

I always wondered why German ambulances had remotely-operated dual 50 cal. guns on their roofs...

... now I know.

Also the German word for Ambulance is "Krankenwagen" pronounced KRAKENNENENVAGONNNNNNN!!!!!

I'm an electrician, so I can tell you what he did could have caused an arc flash. They are very dangerous and can cause damage on that scale easily. I have experienced one first hand (on a higher voltage) and ended up taking an ambulance to the hospital to be treated for first degree burns to my face, neck and hands

The consensus so far in favor of n o t swooping down upon a grieving relative in the short hours after their horror-professional journalistic voyeurism at it's finest alla ambulance-chasers, alla Geraldo Rivera..Elbow-in-the-elevator journalism if ya axe me-

Yeah, try comparing the distance that the ambulance car travels with the racers on track. The ambulance appears to only be going slightly slower that the obviously higher speed racers.

I don't think there is a single authority that would advocate someone speeding above 90mph in an emergency situation. In those situations it is my opinion that most experts would suggest waiting for the ambulance/police, not racing down the road like in the movies.

your 2.2. "point" is no different than people saying that gun owners would not give up their rights. It's not an argument its just a statement of something, it provides no support of anything other than "the world cant change that much" and I agree, in the case of gun ownership as well.

As for the difficulty in speed metering, look to many motorcycles and race cars for how to limit speed, it is already done today.

I use the example of cars because I'm not advocating stopping the use of cars, just the inability to travel above speeds that are reasonable. It's a change in safety that only affects enthusiasts or criminals in much the same way that gun laws would which is why I use it. Also because most of us know that although the majority of us own cars and operate them, we dont tend to exceed 90mph or drive under the influence ourselves and so it seems like a bit of an over-reaction.

My intention is not to compare driving and gun ownership directly. My intent was to compare the differing logic that people will apply to situations that have very analogous themes based on their personal bias or beliefs.

As much as many people see no reason for your average person to own a gun, I see no reason for the average person to be able to travel at high speeds. Just like affecting legal gun ownership will only lower violence some...so will limiting speeds only lower vehicle deaths some.

Just like removing all guns and the slow change in society resulting from it might one day minimize gun violence, so would removing all private ownership of cars require a painful period of mass transit expansion but eventually a world where rapid mass transit and only professional vehicle use would minimize vehicle deaths.

I would argue that the last two situations (all guns and all vehicles being gone with proper transit support) would be ideal for society. But they are also not going to happen any time soon. However how we can be so focused on guns and their use (particularly the use of legally obtained guns) in saving and protecting lives, while ignoring other places in society that cause more death is odd to me. Especially if those changes are just as obvious or palatable as extreme gun control measures when gauged across all demographics.
