Sometimes one just wonder ... Bastard ?

There are all kinds of people with all kinds of characters with all kinds of extent of specific characteristic. I am way far from perfect but sometimes you really wonder why there are such people around.

In today's "Mind your body", an article on a taxi driver turned ambulance driver. He share one of his experience. By law, drivers are to give way to ambulance driver, but only civil defence ambulance has a camera which will "capture" drivers who do not give way. Private ambulance do not have, thus they are not given the right of way most of the time.

Most thinking they turned on the siren to beat traffic jam ...

In this particular incident, the driver was rushing a patient from changi airport to CGH, but was blocked by a grey toyota who refused to give way. Finally, he gave way when a member of the public wave to him to give way.

Here comes the "sometimes one really wonder" part ...

This toyotian tailed the ambulance to the hospital, waited for the driver to settle the patient. He waited by his ambulance, then told him "Lucky you have a patient, if not, he will report him to traffic police".

The toyotian even admit he was a civil defence officer. Isn't this more ironic ?

As a CD officer, I would assume saving lives is main priority in accidents or disasters. But in this situation, he would rather gambled that the ambulance was trying to beat traffic jam than rather it having a patient on board ?

What logic ? Pure ego ? KT ? Even with EQ+IQ, probably also quite hard to guess what was he thinking ?

Have been driving on the road for about 6 mths. It is evidently shown that though not most but still ... drivers have really bad driving habits.

But this toyotian even followed the driver to hospital and just telling him that, this definitely has nothing to do with driving habits. Sometimes one just wonder ....
