An ambulance is racing with lights and sirens through an intersection, have you ever wondered who the person is they are going to save? A firetruck flies down your street, what neighbors house is on fire. A police car is running down the interstate, are they chasing a bank robber or drug dealer.
Is always hard to know. What is really hard to understand though is why people don’t pull over to the side of the road and let them by. Are we to busy and think oh it doesn’t take but two seconds to pull in front of the emergency vehicle so I can make it to my appointment sooner. People it only takes two seconds to pull over and safely let them by.
Many people don’t think about it, do you? With cell phones, radios blaring so the dead can hear it as well as just being stupid and not thinking are we putting our own families in danger? Has anyone ever put any thought to who is the victim? Could it be your mother having a heart attack, your uncle’s house on fire or your children needing to be saved at the site of a hit and run? Perhaps we need to think as a person like this instead of how late you may be for pulling over.
So next time you hear an emergency vehicle around or see one in your rear view mirror take the time to pull over, the person you save could be yourself or one of your loved ones.
