Trust me I have tap-pushed a couple of cabs in my lifetime that we're sitting there actually with the nerve to be counting change from their Fair they just let out infront of us (WHILE the horn was blasting behind them) instead of getting out of the way. and when someone is dying TRUST ME that back bumper WILL be getting touched and they will get the point QUICK to move 🚨
Wolf simple solution is both fire trucks and cop cars have automated cameras take pics of these aholes, then ticket them latter and if someone dies in a fire. Charge them with manslaughter.
Do you Know why this doesn't happen in Italy? Because in Italy if you stand there in the middle of the street the fire truck does not give a shit and pass ON you.....no, it's not "bad English" cause I am Italian.....i literally mean ON you.....you better give fuckin way to emergency vehicles here
NYC is a compact city in addition to the streets it’s extremely difficult. Make traffic a nightmare but they should renovate the entire city or the most congested parts to have a emergency vehicle only lane.
@@mcgazzabeast2440 yeah, in my country there are bus lanes (usually) seperated from traffic. Emergency vehciles can use the bus lane in case of an emergency.
@@Dante20321 Your emergency services are extremely lucky then due to the implications of renovating such a wide radius or even going fourth to renovate compact areas can make things problematic as you need to consider every single aspect, from pedestrians to lines running under the streets. Making the entire thing too costly for most places
They should be able to bump the cars in front of them if this is what people are going to be like... just attach the biggest bull bar you can find to the front of em, they'll move then, lol.
I can't believe these drivers won't pull over to the side and let the truck by. Unbelievable. If they were having a heart attack or their house was burning down they sure would want the 1st responders to get through.
Sheer dearth of space. Welcome to NYC. The only option they have is to move over the curb/sidewalk. Some people don't do that, it isn't legal either. But yeah, I'd prioritise the fire truck's passage over other things. We don't know how many lives are at stake vs. nominal hassle for the car driver. If at all i.e.
If I was a cop, I would follow the fire trucks, fine all the drivers in front of it for not pulling over, charging them 1000 dollars, and I would probably make about 100k-500k a day
But the problem with that is today with all the snowflakes being sensitive to everything these days, if they received one of those tickets, cops' labeled a pig, threatened to be defunded, and pray to the heavens, doesn't get shot randomly. You know how those NY streets are today.
One of the guys on my dept that would ride in the officers seat had a love affair with the air horn... so much that it would cause my low air pressure warning alarms to come on because he would deplete it.🤣
That cop following the apparatus ought to pull over that son of a bitch in that car that won’t pull over and fine them. Every second counts, every second. Stay safe FDNY🇺🇸
Give them the benefit of the doubt they are very busy responding please move over don't start or cause a accident pay attention lights and sirens pay attention be more detailed please let them respond a big massive thanks to everyone who responds and works around the clock to keep us safe out there as always excellent outstanding brilliant they deserve alot of credit tons of it let's honor and appreciate the paramedics and firemen and police and the battlion chief who proudly serve us your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated even by fdny and NYPD responding great job great team work and great and sweet catches as usual still going strong great team efforts are deeply appreciated stay safe and warm out there stay strong and healthy as well much love and respect and appreciation job well done you should be proud really enjoyed and appreciate the vidoes please keep them safe out there and coming love the air horn usages very impressed give them a bump to remind they have the right away with the lights and sirens going right ?!!!!! Joe
We don't compare which should have the most respect, they're the same, they're still firefighters, they still save ppl, they are all brave, they are bold, they r all eager to help the citizens. We'll only the trucks and sirens are different in some countries
is everyone in new york that dum for not pulling over for your fire dept it's in the book not forgetting those walking stop and weight for two minnets save a life
Fire fighters are hero's these brave men put their life's every day on the line to help those who are in need and evey one should recognise this and give them room to do their jobs. Stop blocking and interfering with these brave men in the course of their duty, to all fire fighters , emergency workers i SALUTE YOU, MAY THE LORD OUR GOD KEEP YOU ALL SAFE.
Ok new idea for all Fire Stations (Not just NYC), Have a Repo Truck (or make a contract with Repo Company) so when people park in the middle of the road or in the Emergency Lanes, they can just tow the car to their own lot, and the person has to a nice $fine. The station gets extra 💰 and the person stops being a dumb**
Lesson learnt: Never have an emergency in New York. And if running from the police for some reason drive into New York near the tall buildings. That way if there was a helicopter it would probably have to go since it's near giant skyscrapers and that isn't the safest thing in the world.
I really don't get americans. They shout "OMG respect our police & firemen out there!!!" But then they absolutely do not move over when a fire truck wants to pass.
To be honest... instead of honking your horns out... Have a guy from your team run infront and direct people where to go. Being a truckdriver myself People often gets stressed out with all the honking and blinking. Help them out!
It's NYC, a seriously overcrowded, traffic congested city. The cars can't readily move out of the way. You couldn't pay me enough to live in that kind of environment.
How F'n hard to get out of the way of a truck, larger than most NYC apartments, that is also an emergency vehicle. I have driven on to curbs, medians and worse, to leave a lane for the FD
