Blue Lights Day 1

Drove around Dorchester and Weymouth today in the Vaneo. Three blue
light runs altogether. Two with lights and siren. One with siren
alone. It is is truly amazing, and also quite scary, how long you can
sit behind someone with flashing blue lights and alternating
headlights before they realise that you are there. Its also amazing to
see the reactions of some drivers when they do realise that you are
there. What is scary about this is that if they run up on to the
pavement and hit someone it is more than likely that you will be
taking the blame.

Tomorrow is more of the same but in the Iveco which is a 'proper' ambulance.
