Todd_is_God Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 i have seen an ambulance the last 3 nights... Around 10:30... Lights, no sirens. Weird tbh. At that time they open the window and blow on a whistle to make people aware they are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bold Rover Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Haha never seen this before, funny stuff. to add, i have seen an ambulance the last 3 nights going to work at the same place roughly around the same time. Albert Bartletts roundabout between Airdrie n Cumbernauld. Around 10:30, coming from Cnauld to Airdrie. Lights, no sirens. Weird tbh. Last orders at the Rawyards Chippie.

philpy Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 On the day my wife's dad was rushed into hospital he told the family how much he hates ambulances and hospitals. The poor old sod was in the western general every week for cancer treatment. HE told the family he didn't want to hear the siren when the ambulance would eventually need to come for him as the noise genuinely scared him for some reason.

What a belter of a thread. Thanks for bumping, Gaz, I missed it first time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 He resigned after this thread the first time. Did he resign again last night? He was in proper Michael Douglas Falling Down mode last night. Think half his posts got removed. The posts deserved to get removed, il admit I was out of order. Think I need to man up and stop taking things so seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 So when is it OK for ambulance sirens to be used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you do that deserved a warning though? Surely your godawful "yer maw" type patter didn't merit a warning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lithgierose Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Some drivers tend to panic big time when they hear / see an emergency vehicle, like slam on the brakes and sit in the middle of a busy junction like a frightened rabbit. Best to put the boot down and get the f**k out the way.... imo. then follow in behind and hope they are going your way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim McLean's Ghost Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Reading this for the first time. How did this thread develop into a shithole. Somebody said sometimes ambulances don't use sirens for specific calls, he gets backed up by someone who asked their dad but it still turns into a massive argument and some sort of resignation drama. Were the lights at green? Were they being held up by slower moving traffic? There are also cases where the siren may cause distress to the patient and so aren't used (that came from my dad who used to be an ambulanceman), Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
