>Bit annoying, when you are in a cross street, and you know it's about to turn green, then an ambulance comes by, and it skips your turn.
My local (EU) ER/ A+E hospital flashes up messages like "child emergency...all doctors called", "car accident, patient due in", "stroke victim, just admitted", and everyone just goes "ahhhh, fuck", and waits longer.
I'd love to know the significant time lost, as a percentage of your life, with regards to the amount of time an ambulance could possibly delay you.
Not a big deal at all. Maybe 30 seconds at a time.
Whenever I hear sirens, I always think "Someone is having a worse day than I am."
Around here, we are pretty solicitous of emergency vehicles. We pull over, or don't enter an intersection, if we hear sirens. Every now and then, some inflamed hemorrhoid cuts off the fire truck, but it's rare.
