First of all...in his defense, half of those aren't moving violations. HOWEVER, as a person who was in emergency services....emergency vehicles in NHC and surrounding areas..SCARE THE CRAP OUT OF ME! I saw a fire truck going WAY TO FAST in between traffic just today in front of Trask/Laney! While traffic moved for him, if one of those cars would have pulled out or over...the driver would have been killed and the truck would have most likely flipped and taken out a bunch more cars as it went! Emergency vehicle drivers need to be reminded CONSTANTLY that THEY are responsible for their driving! By running sirens and lights you are ASKING for right of way...you just don't HAVE IT!
OK
