gentle reminder - emergency services - *PLEASE GET OUT OF THE WAY*

Julia from Henderson

been meaning to post this for a while.... so so SO MANY times over recent months witnessed people/cars just simply IGNORING - emergency services - AMBULANCE - FIRE TRUCKS - POLICE

WHAT IF IT WAS YOU - IN NEED OF HELP
YOUR LOVED ONES - IN NEED OF HELP

SOME TIMES **SECONDS** *DO MATTER**

my dad taught me - GET OUT OF THEIR WAY - PULL OVER - LET THEM THROUGH

again and again and again and again and and again - WITNESSED people/cars - just COMPLETELY IGNORING EMERGENCY SERVICES

was talking to a volunteer fire fighter earlier this year - he has been driving fire trucks for 18 years - only recently - recently - they HAVE to slow down going through intersections - HAVE TO - (tracking device - new requirement) - because *people WERE NOT getting out of their way*

SECONDS CAN SAFE LIVES


oh and to the person who beeped me - (oh weeks and weeks ago - been meaning to write this for a while - witnessed so so so many more BEFORE and SINCE - FIRE TRUCKS - AMBULANCES - just not going anywhere


 - people/cars - just sitting there - not getting out of their way (when they CAN - understand sometimes can't - these times - so many - PEOPLE/CARS HAVE ROOM TO GET OUT OF THE WAY..... just SITTING THERE - FIRE TRUCKS - AMBULANCES HAVING TO GO **AROUND** people/cars that could easily have gotten out of the way..



(oh and to the person who *beeped* me - what was your problem?? defensive driver me - (taught - re taught) - you were not behind me (I CHECKED!) *before* indicating THEN pulling over to the side of the road - getting out of the way of emergency vehicle going other way - seriously - beeped - what on earth?!)

I know, as usual - if you're here - preaching to the converted


- just needs to be said - if you're here - already a good neighbour - if you already know this - & do this - I don't know - maybe spread the word in person..?

don't know how else to fix this SERIOUS - potentially LIFE THREATENING ISSUE...
