   I rode in the front of an ambulance once when my then-girlfriend had   
   fainted and was in the back.  I was surprised about how many people didn't   
   get out of the way.   
      
   OTOH, several years ago I was in Downtown Louisville at a red light.  I was   
   the only car in the far left lane on a one-way street... I am not sure if   
   all the other lanes had cars or not.  The cross-street was also one-way in   
   the direction where no left turn for me would be allowed.   
      
   For whatever reason, an ambulance driver rolled up behind me and expected   
   me to run the light and enter the BLIND intersection.  I guess he was   
   hoping for a few more customers.  I waited for the light to change before   
   moving.
