Nobody moves for the ambulance anymore. You hear sirens on Yusuf Lule Road and the whole queue just sits there.
Drivers just stare straight ahead. Some even close the gap so nobody else uses it. Meanwhile, the person inside is somebody's mother and the crew is counting minutes. The gap you refuse to make is 15 seconds of your day against a whole life. And if the human argument does not move you, the law might. Ambulances have right of way under the Traffic Act and failing to give it attracts a fine. Move left or even climb the kerb if you must. Just let it through...
So which is it? Do we not move because we do not care or because we assume the siren is fake and it is not a real emergency.
@UEDCLTD Is there a mechanism for power to stay on after LIGHT units run out, and then have whatever units that have been used during such incidents paid for eventually when the system is back in operation?
