I've never seen a driver react appropriately an emergency vehicle. Default reaction is hit brakes and stop, irrespective of what is going on.
Indeed
Worst I had (in the car) was a dickhead who was so busy blasting out loud music and dreaming, had no idea. I indicated to pull into his lane (3 lane road in a queue, everyone else was parting like the red sea but mainly to the right thanks to crash barriers to the left, only room for me to get out of the way was to the right, he insisted on trying to keep "his place" in the queue by not budging to his right and edgeing forward to block any move by me
I don't think he really knew what was going on despite everyone else moving, as the ambulance finally passed after I eventually managed to clear the road having had no option but to be very aggressive about the move over, I shouted "NOW do you realise?"
As traffic moved back into lanes again, he wound his window down and shouted "don't call ME a self-gratification artist!"
I wonder where he got the "self-gratification artist" idea from? The word had never passed my lips. Perhaps subconsciously, he just knew.
