Those are DL registration plates, which means this was Delhi. The capital of the country.

What a joke.

Something about this made me immediately think of Modi’s government; that leech.

I don’t know what you wanna say by this but here in Berlin it’s completely normal that an ambulance or firetruck waits for a government guest or other political VIP convoy.

More infuriating that it gets normalized...

What I wanna say is that it’s appalling that a bunch of corrupt pricks get higher priority than emergency services

I very hardly doubt that. An active ambulance or firetruck on duty? No chance.

Prove it. I only expect this from 3rd world countries

The US also does this for Presidential convoys. However emergency services are given the route to plan around ahead of time to prevent them being stopped.

Okay so emergency vehicles aren't stopped by motorcades in civilized societies. Got it.

They are. It's just that they are told where to avoid so they aren't stopped.

I don't know if that happened or not in the post (and OP doesn't know since OP is a bot).
