[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 3953901, member: 8481"] The way he parked, along with the folded in mirror, tells me that he thought there was room for traffic to pass him on the right. I get that, but when he parked, he seemed to pull as far over as he could, and it looks like plenty of room for a car. Did he go out and measure it when he parked? Are you a driver? Have you ever been in the back and heard sirens? Scenario. He heard the sirens when he was in the back. We have probably all been there. He may have even heard them getting closer. He then hears them stopped behind him. So he may be thinking that there is something going on right by him because the ambulance stopped. He comes to the cab to see what's going on. The passenger mirror is folded in, so he looks out the drivers mirror. Guess what? Look how the ambulance is positioned. He cannot see it through his drivers mirror. He then unfolds his passenger mirror and takes a look. His first though is he is stopped right behind me. Then he thinks, wait a minute, his sirens are still blaring. Why isn't he going around me? I'm sure he had no idea that he did not leave enough room for traffic to get by. He unfolds his mirror at around 15 seconds of the video, processes what is going on and what he needs to do, and starts rolling less than 20 seconds later. He has to shut the bulkhead door, get in the seat, put on the seat belt, start the truck and clear his path. OK, maybe he could have done that in 15 seconds? He was not blocking that ambulance on purpose and refusing to move as the story states. [/QUOTE]
