Default Question for the Ambos...

Lo all

Sitting at a set of lights today, it went green but I stayed put as an Ambulance station wagon running lights and siren had run the red and was cautiously making his way across the intersection. Before you ask, no I did not have a problem with his driving. He conducted himself in a very safe and predictable manner.

No, my gripe is with his vehicle. Once clear of the intersection, he nearly punched the loud pedal through the firewall, and the Commodore V6 wailed its little head off and... nothing. The wagon took an eternity to even reach the 60 speed limit again, and then there was another red light.

My question is, why are the heroes charged with saving lives burdened with V6 Commodores and Diesel vans? Is it a budget thing? What is a human life worth nowadays?
