[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 1135722, member: 13739"] Few weeks back, there was an oncoming ambulance behind a few cars, lights/siren on. I stopped on my side of the road, the oncoming car slowed right down, but kept creeping forwards about 10m to the point that he'd left no space for the ambulance to fit past! Guy had to reverse back to let it through. Completely unnavoidable. I've also had the oposite though, where a driver has panicked at the first sight/sound of an ambulance and stopped immediately, blocking the cars behind (me being one) with a central reservation next to us and nowhere to go, also blocking the ambulance. No cars coming the other way, so all they needed to do was keep going 20m or so until we were clear of the central reservation, then slow to let the ambulance past. Bunch of us all had to hoot her till she finally realised she'd blocked the ambulance and finally move forwards. [/QUOTE]
