Rookie Location: Nebraska Registered: December 19, 2005 Posts: 69 | My sister is a pharamedic in Mesa, Arizona. Two days ago she had a call and was driving in the Ambulance and was T-boned by another vehicle. The driver, her, and the pacient(sp) are all fine from what ive heard. But what I am wondering is, Why dont they have a law like in Nebraska where you yield the right of way to ambulances and fire trucks? Everyone in the accident could have died. I just thought I'd bring it up and see what everyone thinks. Please, if you know what to do about the laws, help me to keep our pharamedics and fire fighters and police officers alive to protect us. Thank You! |

Unfortunately, that is the one thing the vast majority of accidents don't have in the equation -- and people who aren't paying attention to the road are the major reason why accidents such as the one involving your sister take place. I don't know if it's a law or not, but it should be. There also should be a law against being a moron, but unfortunately you can't legislate stupidty.
