There's something chilling about the siren of an ambulance and I feel the same way every time I hear it. Right from the time I was a child, I've always wondered about the person inside that ambulance and what exactly he or she is going through at that point in time.

But what is even more chilling is the way that drivers sometimes choose to ignore that siren, particularly in the peak rush hour ( from about 6-9 pm).
Yes, we all know that traffic is terrible and we are all battling it out, hoping against hope that we might get home ten minutes earlier.
Yes, we are all hungry, thirsty and tired and possibly want nothing better than that hot 'cuppa' with something to munch along with it.
Yes, tomorrow is yet another working day and we are all a part of the daily grind.
But just stop and think for a moment- there is someone inside that ambulance in urgent need of medical aid. It is precisely those minutes that you want to shave off your drive back home that might make the vital difference between life and possible death of that same person.
Think about it the next time as you refuse to let an ambulance pass by .
God forbid, one day that person in the ambulance could be someone you love ...
Or who knows..
One day it might even be you.....
So true! It's important that you wrote this post. people are very blasé about sirens. Also I don't think we should move aside with the thought - it could be me or my loved one - but rather - it's a life, a person is in pain or in danger - let me move aside.
