Oh man, why do I keep getting drawn back into chess games with pigeons.
Let me put it as simply as possible.
Theoretically, you’re lying in a pool of blood on the floor at 5pm on a Monday afternoon in the middle of a busy city. Someone calls an ambulance and states it’s an emergency and you’re not responding. The ambulance operators dispatches a full emergency response and a pair of paramedics jump into their ambulance at the nearest hospital (probably in the middle of a 14 hour shift with limited breaks or food) put on their blue lights and sirens to get to you quickly. On the way to you, they come up to a rush hour tailback, do they;
A) Use their high speed driving training to negotiate through the traffic in any way possible, including driving through red lights, on the wrong side of the road or weaving through traffic. At the same time they will be thinking about the casualty ahead of them with limited information from probably non-medically trained members of the public who are panicking.
or
B) Pull up behind the traffic and wait for it to gradually move on like the rest of the general driving population because they don’t know how to act in that situation and you die at the scene safe in the knowledge that you’re right.
I realise that jumping into a Ford Fiesta on a closed test area/factory is probably pretty intense for some people but in the real world it’s slightly different.
