Re: Checkerboards

I've been in accidents here, and it does not make a bit of difference if emergency lights are flashing, you have quarter mile of cones up-road of your unit, or if you are parked a good ten feet off the pavement. They'll still hit you.

Maybe if we place the offending drivers in stocks (Olde' English type) along side of road for 24 hours, with a sign that these dumb A's struck an Emergency Vehicle, only then we might see some attention paid to driving by these dunces.

But I doubt it.

Re: Checkerboards

Chuck! LMAO! Put 'em in stocks along the roadside!


Great Idea - now why didn't I think of that?

Location: So. Fla

Re: Checkerboards

Boy I have to agree with you there!! To heck with cones, they only attract people who then drive over them. It's while they drive over them and are oggling the "strange looking orange things" that they run into you... Lets get some reinforced concrete barriers up... Let 'em slam into those a few times and it won't happen again... Uh.. At least not til the next idiot comes along..

Re: Checkerboards

The ones I love to hate are those in the cars who drive past an accident scene and all the kids are up against the window closest the scene(out of their seatbelts) and the cameras are lined up taking pics...then when they take something traumatic and the kids are upset....blame everyone else.

Re: Checkerboards

I would love to see lime return and in fact I am seeing just that. Look at your vests look at your chevrons. In the EU all ambulances are lime for exactly that reason, they are move visible. The checkerboards only make it more so. Will it stop idiots no it just makes it harder for them. Lime IS prime and it is on the rise.
