Blue lights or no blue lights I’d have just kept left, simples…
I agree 100% but obviously this licence holder (questionable) wasn’t aware of his surroundings!

And they call me a carrot picker, smh[emoji23][emoji23]
Am I the only one who thought the Merc undertook and got in front of the lorry to make the driver aware there was an ambulance behind him.

If he can’t see flashing blues what chance does the merc driver have.?[emoji30]
still don’t know what smh means
Punchy Dan:
The ambulance would of stud a better chance of being seen if it had straddled both lanes rather than driving up behind the lorry .
+1 … in fact when the ambulance did straddle the lanes he was seen.
from my careful consideration
Merc driver - 12 month ban and car crushed
Ambulance driver - needs retraining
Lorry Driver - a weeks paid leave so as he can catch up on his sleep.

I thought that too. the fact it didn’t, adds weight to this comment
merc0447:
The merc driver has a date with karma if he carrys on like that. No trying to sound rascist here more “knobend profiling”but I bet a pound that was a young Asian gentlemen.
That’s not Racist, its anecdotal.
burnley-si:
to be fair he/she was right up the arse of the truck and more then likely not seen him, and if it had the double glazing not heard him either
Can see where you are coming from, but the action of the undertaking Merc should have woke him up from his own little world, though he probably thought “what a knob” and that was when he saw his own refection

Shaking my head[emoji1]
All the kids are using it these days, keep up old man lol
Ever see a Merc driven well? Me neither. He’d probably been behind the ambulance for miles using it as a snowplough to overtake the other traffic, then couldn’t be arsed to wait behind it and the truck in front.
Just a thought, given how close the ambo was behind the truck, could the truck driver have even seen him at all? With a loud radio or music on he may not have heard the siren either??
The best blue light drivers tend to be the Fire Brigade, they can’t go as quick as the others
looks like the truck driver was hanging in the outside lane perhaps conscious of the tipper in lane one and his next move, he was also approaching slower traffic towards the end of the flyover. He moves over within 10 seconds of the tool in the ambulance actually positioning his vehicle where it was possible to be seen in the trucks mirrors. Complete non event.

Not his problem me thinks, it’s up to the tipper driver to sort out the lane they want or join the carriageway appropriately!

no exscuse period.What’s with the American & English - double full stop■■? Could easily have just used capital letters
fat fingers typing oooppppsss.
Undertaking vehicles like the Mercedes is just the normal these days.
As for the ambulance, clown

As i said earlier i think the tipper driving was in lane2 with the sharps in lane 3 and the sharps hadnt realised the tipper had moved across into lane 1 leaving a gap between the 2 of them

Absolute ■■■■■■■■. Everyone knows ambulance drivers are the worst of all emergency response anyway (seriously I could drive a much bigger vehicle faster than some of these ambulance drivers), I’d have done exactly what the Mercedes did. Weng it down the inside.
I coverd the ambulamce strikes in London, since then I have nothing but respect for what they do, what they have to put up with on a daily basis is border line shocking.
Paramedics getting attacked whilst loading on a critical casualty because their ambulamce is blocking a street!
turning up on scene to attempted suicides, fatal car accidents, multiple casualties. they dont get a break as soon as they drop a patient to the hospital the cad system in the cab is sending them straight to another job. their work is chaotic!
Just on the 12 hours i coverd i had a death, a man coughing aload of blood, a misscariage that hemeraged , a neglected old man who hadnt moved that long his left foot had died and turned black and was infected horribly, a suspected heart attack on a 20 year old male , a time waster and a sick child.
For you to say you would of done the same as the merc just confirms pretty much that your an idiot.
An ambulance is coming up behind you on a motorway. It’s coned off down to 1 lane, inside lane only.
Do you sit in lane 1 or move over into the hard shoulder ?

Ok, but I still think if he/she was that sharp they’d have used their mirrors & improved their situational awareness…

I would move over and would do the same for the fire service (the hard shoulder is for emergencies 
)… i would like to do the same for the police but would worry they might send me a ticket through the post.
