GeT OUT oF My wAy !!

I was reminded of our comedy king Vivek who spat a dialogue in a very old movie of his : "Accident aana ambulance' kku solli anupuvom, andha ambulance' ke accident aana yaar kitta solluvom... "
This sounds quite funny right :-)

Well, it looked funny too. One lorry bumped into an ambulance ! This ambulance was waiting behind a big row of vehicles in the signal. Yes, in the signal.


His poor siren went on and on and on. Who cares ? All the tracks were blocked by vehicles. All of them waiting for the countdown 39,38,37..

Well its a road rule that every vehicle must leave "some way" if they hear a siren.

The ambu trying to get into a small empty space. Down came an lorry and broke the ambulance's bones.... coz both were fighting for the space.

Now that's what I call a population explosion...

Yep, no road sense, no traffic sense.
I would first ban the autos if I had the power with me.

Me too!

But if we ban those lorries and the ricks what'll happen to stuff being transported and people being ferried to different places?

Hey welcum back..
Ppl can have their own transportation or let them take the bus. Owing to the existing crowd in the bus, lets increase the no. of buses or bring in the private bus facility like the ones in other cities.
Wooh, I have a backup business ;-)

@eclectic blogger

Even the 3 wheeled fish cart drives me mad.

it is a funny incident. but sad too, as it goes to show that people are inconsiderate of the needs of others. i have seen idiots who actually follow ambulances closely in order to overtake the vehicles that slowed down or moved aside to make way for the ambulance.

I have seen this incident.But what happened was the ambulance slowed down suddenly and the guy who followed the ambulance cannot stop and he crashed into the ambulance with full speed. He was taken into the ambulance the next moment.

That's really bad. And some stupids keep watching the ambulance and stay where they are, blocking the ones behind. Looks like they've never seen one before ;-)

Perhaps hospitals use that strategy to bring in new patients ;-)

Sometimes I wonder if the congestion is so bad that it's viable to have more voluntary firemen, voluntary medics out there in every district to offer some help in the meantime....

@queen bee

In a place like this where "only the self" matters, everything becomes a question.

I would say the largest danger is from two wheelers.

They ride on the road as if itz some kinda circus.

They cut lanes moving from lane to lane.

Funniest part is before they turn they turn their head and look behind. Now what is rear view mirror for?

This happens only in India. And trust Vivek to bring out the humor in the worst of the situations. He rocks!!

Thanks to vivek, for bringing out some messages through his humour. Still I doubt how many people just laugh it off !

Yup, ppl here call Trucks Yama and Autorickshaws Yamdoots. :-)

Most of the buggers refuse to yield way even when they know the life of someone hangs in the balance, and the few minutes that they've kept the ambulance waiting might make difference between life and death of that patient. How much more indifferent/callous can we get?

@heretic
And most times bad roads, which adds more to the patient's blood pressure...
