truth is stranger than fiction. Its better to tell the truth and accept your destiny than to BS your way through and have a lonely life.

Re: Emergency Driving
No he's not, but I think he's trying to highlight that so long as one set of eyes are on the road then there isn't really a problem. A brief wave to an ambulance they are passing is only a short time compared to the drive back to hospital with his partner in crime in the back dealing with a casualty and only him in the front.canon wrote:Hmmm are u serious ???Zebedee wrote:Clearly then you thought wrong.canon wrote:i would have thought that two sets of eyes on the road wherever practicable would be best practice lol.

Re: Emergency Driving
Actually, I was completely serious. I'm sick of people who troll these forums and contribute nothing except sniping and sarcastic comments.

Merely pointing out that two sets are better than one and i take offence ZEB that you think im trolling when even Tyranus thought you were taking the pee. Enroute to an emergency on a 1 is the most dangerous time driving as opposed to enroute to a hospital when you always drive to patient condition and driving technique should be adjusted accordingly.
. There is absolutely no reason to be doing anything other than focus whilst driving on a 1 let alone have someone waving out a window and posing a distraction to the driver, but hey i know sweet FA and have been in the industry over 10 years and am naive etc etc

Re: Emergency Driving
Its called working together, when the time is right, for things on a streight road, one set of eyes is all it takes,
But when approaching Red Lights a quick all clear saves a few seconds, if it is all clear.
Normally im Writing out the Paper work and going over the rap sheet that we have been sent if im attending (not driving) as i need to be able to attack the scene the best way I can.
different strokes for different folks.
