This reminds me...
Only in America... can a pizza delivery guy get to your house faster than the ambulance.
It's still disappointing that they do this.
Sometimes, it's not the ambulance's fault... but the fault of the people who don't get out of the way. I've seen people hog the roads so bad that the ambulances and firetrucks can't get through!
They should develop cameras in front of firetrucks and ambulances that take pictures during their emergencies. That way, if there was ever a problem, they can upload it to the computer and send it to the police department... and send out tickets!
