Disgusting

That is what I think about selfish people on the road who endanger others or interfere with safety vehicles. The town where hubby works has a lot of road construction going on at an intersection of a state highway and a main/north south road. Wal Mart and a number of other businesses and fast food places and hotels can only be reached by a circuitous manner. Many lights are out of commission and drive ways and access points to frontage road are closed. We had been to a restaurant and were going in to the road along side Wal Mart so hubby could work some more. There had been sirens a few minutes before, and we were at the only accessible intersection, waiting. When emergency vehicles are dispatched the city safety center can control the traffic lights and did. With vehicles coming toward the intersection with lights and sirens three people chose to turn and interfere with their progress, against the lights. Two of them were semis, which means as they made their turn they down shifted and slowed the ambulance and rescue truck to the pace of snails. I hope someone did not die because of this. Years ago a man died in an ambulance on Main Street in this town because people were busy "dragging Main" and would not yield to let the ambulance through to get to the hospital. There are other rude traffic behaviors, but to me this is one of the worst.
