>> blackjack99: "You know this does not surprise me. People in Odessa and Midland do not have any regards for emergency vehicles. Another ambulance and a police car were heading north on Grandview the other day and turned west onto 42nd St and people did not stop like they were suppose to. Hey West Texas when you hear sirens or see lights pull over to the right. You all must have slept through that day of driver's ed. O yeah and get off your cell phones."

>> danaco: "Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Doesn't the law require Emergency Responders to stop at an intersection if they have the red light even if the responder has lights and sirens on and responding to an emergency?
I don't think ANYONE can bust a red light under any circumstances.
Just a thought and looking for clarification.."

>> beautyandbrains: "Im not trying to personally attack anyone but I too dont understand how you dont see or hear an ambulence.
And sure if you want to take a drive to clear your head, do what works for you! However, if you have trouble paying attention while doing so it is selfish to put others lives in danger. I just hope maybe this will open some people's eyes and folks will start paying attention when they drive, for some of us it is still a way to get from point A to point B - not stress relief"
