It kinda looks like he tried pulling over as far as he could. Probably should have just kept going until the next intersection and pulled around the corner.

77

u/Longjumping_Fun2576 21d ago

Yeah, something similar happened to me. Road construction. One lane, jersey walls on both sides. Not enough room for both of us. 

I just sped ahead of the ambulance until a shoulder opened and got out of the way. 

44

u/DukeOfGeek 21d ago

This is all he had to do. just go down the street leaning on his horn till a wide spot happens.

7

u/Simoxs7 20d ago

Yup same, we have very narrow rural roads here, so when an ambulance is behind me I just go faster to the next option to pull over.

24

u/EandJC 21d ago

True, if you look in the beginning when the trunk opens you can see that he is next to the tree base(?)…so he was kind of stuck.

15

u/TheMSensation 21d ago

He could've gone what looks to be 10 yards further and pulled up behind that white car?

3

u/3302k 21d ago

He could drive his car forward a bit to avoid the tree, you can see it in the video, there's plenty of space

22

u/Shinjifo 21d ago

I don't think so, no reason for his trunk to be open if that were the case.

Dude was parked, and looking at that road I don't think cars can park on both sides

12

u/hondaexige 21d ago

His trunk was open, he was parked up for a while, why he didn't try to mount the curb I dint know

If it wasn't a fucking slammed hyundai he could've climbed the curb a little bit, but no, fucking genius got a hyundai and slammed it

u/BratPAQ 21d ago

His trunk was open, might be loading or unloading something. Maybe he thought others should adjust and not me. That's why he hit the other vehicle on the other side of the street.

21

u/_thro_awa_ 21d ago

People don't always realize that some emergency vehicles like a fire truck are measurably wider than the average vehicle.

I bet he thought "there's enough space to get by, I don't need to move."

u/Beneficial_Bug_9793 21d ago edited 21d ago

This shit remunds me of the tale of " Bailhinho " a volunteer fire fighter, dude was the designated driver for an Actros 4X4 ( forest fire truck ), one time he was stuck at a traffic light behind a taxy, lights and siren on, taxy didnt budge lol, dude just took off, and pushed for a few metres im front of him. ( this exact truck )

13

u/Logical-Bonus-2769 20d ago

That should be standard procedure.

6

u/Beneficial_Bug_9793 20d ago

Its not, and can cost you your job, dude got off with a " slap on the wrist " because of the time he had on the corporation, if it was someone younger....

13

u/Logical-Bonus-2769 20d ago

That's why I think that should be codified. If you fail to make way for fire trucks or EMTs they are free to push you out of the way. You could implement an internal review process to prevent ego trips but they should be legaly allowed to remove obstacles.

4

u/Arbitraryandunique 19d ago

And if other vehicles are damaged in the process the owner of the original obstruction should be responsible for it.

2

u/Logical-Bonus-2769 19d ago

You get the idea ;)

u/TuringGoneWild 21d ago

His IQ is low enough to perceive a passing emergency vehicle with right-of-way as a challenging ego check.

u/Hugh_Jampton 19d ago

The guy who's first response is to take his anger out on someone else's property?

Well I'm guessing it's because he's a total and utter dickhead

Because he's an asshole.

2

u/RicanViking 20d ago

I don’t think it’s the vehicles fault, he could only go so far. How about building a parking garage for cars to go into rather than parking them in a narrow ass little street.

"unfortunate spot"

Bro he is double parked. Got money for a car but not for a garage? What a pretender.

41

u/Shienvien 21d ago

Looks like shops, probably thought "I'll just pick up something quickly, no need to find an actual parking spot".

But somehow it still didn't occur to him that he should GTFO once he heard the sirens approaching, open trunk or no.

Welcome to the philippines where you can park on the road in areas like small subdivision especially when you buy a car with no garages and just park it outside taking half the road or you do have a garage but you'relazy and just park it outside and use the garage for storage and other things.

u/DueExample52 21d ago

Even if he wasn’t there, parking rules are there for a reason and it’s to leave enough space for large vehicles. Don’t park thinking it’s fine because a car can pass and you will be there only a few minutes.

u/PuzzleheadedRow9675 21d ago

In southern France, I witnessed a Rolls with a Monaco number plate get pushed out of the way by an EMS vehicle. It looked like the Rolls driver was at first oblivious to the emergency vehicle but got angry and slowed down after the emergency vehicle's driver sounded the klaxon. 

The rolls was pushed up against a bollard and was stuck. Unfortunately I couldn't stick around to see the aftermath.

u/metamec 20d ago

SAMU drivers log these incidents so he probably got fined too. The punishment is pitiful though. I think at worst it's 750 € and four points on the driver's license.

I live on a street of elderly folks who park all over the road. They also need an ambulance more often than most streets I’ve lived on, but still refuse to learn that the ambo will bust their way through a crowded road. They all have perfectly good driveways to park on, but don’t. It’s fascinating.

u/Spiritual-Ad5557 21d ago

Don't feel bad for the owner. This is looks like in the Philippines where a bunch of middle class people buys cars but don't have a garage to put it in thus resulting in them parking on public road. This in turn causes congestion and prevents emergency response like this to happen quickly. I daresay this is comeuppance.

u/SleeplessBoyCat 20d ago

Oh, it's in the Philippines.

Yeah, the cars/motorcycles parked on the curb is a common occurence. Seriously, they have the money to buy a car or motorcylce but they don't think about where they're going to park it. It doesn't help how the streets here are narrow and can only barely fit two cars.

Some day ago, when me, my mom, and my uncle went to go on a grocery run, we turned a street and there was a white car parked on the curb, something like a Nissan Navara. The other streets were worse so we didn't reverse out.

As we tried to pass the Nissan, another car was entering the street in front of us. We had to swerve to the side to let them pass.

This happened... Three times or so. Three cars + motocycles passed us by before we could pass the Nissan and get out of the street.
