They Could Be Coming For You One Day Over the past few months | have been to many accidents and fires with camera in hand to snap a few shots of other people's misfortunes. As | snap away, | feel eyes burning through me, eyes that make me feel like hiding my camera underneith my coat. As | first come upon the scene, others are friendly telling me of all the particulars on what has taken place. After hear- ing the details of often depressing situations, | take my came- ra out, and snap a few 4 photographs. Onlookers suddenly change the mood, I'm suddenly a villian whose only interest is a good news story. | feel it necessary to explain that | just like all onlookers get that queasy feeling in my stomach, and | as much as you wish that accidents were not as common as they are. | leave the office, with the thought always in the back of my mind, pray- ing it is not someone | know. | do feel however that the public has a right to be informed of the bad as well as the good news in a community. A newspaper only full of the good, would seem a little touch out of reality. While | have attended these accidents lately, | have noticed something time and time again, that really strikes a nerve with me. This is the inconsiderate drivers on the road who refuse "to "get out of the way" of approaching emergency vehicles. In the last week | have been to one fire, and one bad acci- dent. On the way to the accident | witnessed an ambulance trying to pass a couple vehicles, that had no intention of mov- ing aside. | don't what these drivers are thinking, common courtesy should tell you that you should allow the vehicle to pass. Obviously someone is in danger, flashing red lights and sirens blasting at your bumper | feel is a good indication that there is an emergency, and getting off the road, would solve a lot of problems. | have witnessed fire trucks follow cars for miles, unable to pass due to oncoming traffic. Just yesterday | watched as the Rescue vehicle was making its way to a fire in Greenbank, and was stuck behind a stream of seven vehicles. Not one of these vehicles moved to the shoulder of the road, or made any attmept to slow, and allow the truck to pass. | was driving on the other side of the road, and pulled off the shoulder of the road, in case the truck wanted to pass on my side, but with more vehicles travelling behind me, it made this impossible as well. The driver of the truck, had the lights flashing ,the siren go- ing, and was blowing the horn, but these drivers were oblivi- ous to what was going on around them. Are all these drivers in such a worry to arrive at their desti- nation they cannot take two minutes out to pull over to allow the emergency vehicle to pass. | would almost bet that in 99% of the cases where that emergency vehicle is going is more of an emergency than where that driver is headed. It is only considerate to pull over, that five minutes that the the srasivcy vehicle was blocked behind the stream of u traffic could have made a difference. These drivers could wait another five minutes to be bound in slippers and robe, and snuggled in front of the fireplace with a good book.Somewhere, someone else is watiing for that rescuer to arrive.
