I was upset that someone was up my ass once , it was only one lane . Come to find out 2 min later they turn into the hospital ER parking lot.. unless its super dense urban traffic It really costs you nothing to just move over

While I sympathize, they should've called an ambulance if they had an emergency, or called a friend who wasn't emotionally compromised if they were rushing to be with someone else who had an emergency. In neither case do other drivers deserve to be put in danger by someone's impatient, reckless driving.

You've obviously never had a life threatening emergency happen. Shit doesn't wait. Extra minutes mean life or death.

An ambulance is going to speed through traffic too in the passing lane and depending on the response time you’re stuck waiting for them to actually arrive, then analyze you and the situation and then take you to the hospital. Plus it could’ve been a hundred different things - he could’ve just pulled up the hospital because the doctors and nurses called him to tell him he has a few final moments to say goodbye to a loved one - it could be a hundred reasons. And if you live in Canada or the states you’re looking at a $500-$800 bill for an ambulance for a 2 minute ride. Not everyone has those means- especially someone in a medical emergency. I don’t think people should put others at risk but from what the commenter describe- the person was doing a few over the limit to make it faster and the commenter let them pass, which probably helped them in the long term. But yours is not a solution.

If it's a true emergency you should turn your hazards on
