Granted the ambulance may have ran a red light but some cautious driving on the geeps part could have easily averted it. Lucky no one was seriously injured. Imagine being in a bad way in the back of the ambulance and that happening, could have been nasty!http://www.thejournal.ie/crash-dublin-ambulance-1411259-Apr2014/

We didn't crash but the poor paramedic/ambulance dude in the back looking after me almost ended up in the same condition as me after being flung forward through the ambulance. :eek:

He pulled over, not really that close to me, but he failed to reasonably accelerate, forcing me to brake from 80km/h to about 20km/h. When I beeped the horn at him, he stopped completely. When passing him, I had a look at him, and it was some old grumpy looking fella. After I passed him, he had no trouble at all to step on the throttle to sit on my ar$e for next 5 minutes.

Routinely local traffic moves over into the 'fast' lane to facilitate fast mixing of Cobh traffic on to the motorway. It can be quite cool to watch as all locals knows the danger and there has been multiple pileups and deaths at this run-on junction. Regular travellers will also observe traffic in the correct lane taking avoiding action as 'unexpected' traffic emerges from their left. The merging traffic has to merge, arguably the merge is not long enough and so on, however, it is customary to reoutinly move over inot the 'fast' lane, allow merge and move back over to the left. Laugh and pontificate all you like ~ it's better than being wrecked and worse.
