Stupid Drivers...

Every story has two sides. The guy in front could have been an *** and breaking the law, OR perhaps he just did not see/have a chance to get over. Who really knows!

Which is why I was upset about it. If he truly thought that I would pass him, then I have no complaints what so ever. It's just the fact that he admitted to the officer that he slammed on his brakes because he was mad, risking injury to himself and myself. Don't mean to come on here and complain, but it's frustrating.

I think it means Personal Injury. Kinda like our 962.

Weird. We just call that an MVA with injuries.

961; Non-Injury Accident, 962; Injury Accident, 963; Fatal Accident. What you don't want to hear is dispatch put an Adam behind it, 962A, which means a police officer is involved.

Weird. We just call that an MVA with injuries.

Here it's called an "Ambulance T/C."

Maybe it's just me, bit i call them crashes (MVC in our CAD). Accidents are things that happen, while crashes are caused. I know, I'm a weirdo.

10-50 PI (personal injury) here, or just a PI for short. But, I digress.

I have actually gotten an ambulance going sideways down a snow-covered four lane highway. It's really, really not fun. And it really didn't take a whole lot to do it. I tapped the brakes just a smidge harder than I should have, the wheels locked, and we were off to the races.

That said, I'd be inclined to wait for the fellow to pull over and stop so I don't have to make any sudden movements while passing. You know, like hitting the gas, tapping the brake, swerving, etc. Or, if I'm going nowhere fast, I'd just shut down all the emergency equipment. I hate driving at 15 mph with lights and sirens. It probably looks as rediculous as it is. Anyway, since it took me two weeks to unpucker myself from the seat after the first incident, I'd prefer to not do that again! :D
