But most people do try and get out of the way of ambulances. Sometimes it just is not possible to do so. On occasion, I have seen a regular car (not ambulance or cops) with his hazards on, flashing his lights and honking his horn to get through traffic. People move out of the way as if it is an emergency vehicle. Who are these guys and how do they get away with it?

Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary. Mahatma Gandhi
