Traveling home this arvo, the road is a 2 lane two way road except at a
set of traffic lights. For a couple of hundred metres each side a left
land is added making a 4 lane dual highway. The lights go red, in front
is a high top van which pulls into the left lane and a car in front of
me in the right lane as am I. The lights go green, but at that moment an
ambulance arrives lights flashing and siren going behind me.
All that has to happen is for the van to stay where he is, the car in
front to pull forward and into the left lane with room for me to follow.
What happens is that the van does the right thing and stays where he is,
but the car in front just sits there transfixed. I'm boxed in with
nowhere to go. Eventually, with some encouragement, he does move forward
and over, and I can get out of the way. What a bloody idiot, even
without the ambulance, he had a green light but he just sat there.
