The ambulance whistled, called the emergency speaker, the car in front still wouldn’t give up…

Recently, on social networks, a clip recorded an image at the intersection of Nguyen Huu Tho – Linh Dam (Hanoi City) on April 22, 2022, despite the ambulance’s priority siren, the people in the car The emergency service called the loudspeaker to give way, but the driver of the Vios car with control plate 18A – 111.68 still did not move.

“Now that my father is dead, after taking care of his work, he uploaded this video to warn everyone. If you see a priority vehicle, you should try to give way right away, because one minute of you brothers and sisters can save a life. that person.

Indeed that day, fighting for his life every second, the way home was too far, the ventilator was erratic, always had to prepare to squeeze the ball to maintain breathing, but it also took time because he couldn’t give way. I’m so helpless I want to cry” – Khanh Chi, a daughter whose father was lying in the car fighting for her life on the way back home at that time shared.

Talking to an Infonet reporter, Khanh Chi said: “My father is very ill, he had to be intubated, put on a ventilator, and was in an ambulance from the A9 department of Bach Mai Hospital back home. However, the car They definitely won’t give way. This clip is only the next part, but before that, the horn and loudspeaker were already on, but the car refused to give way. I was so angry that I took out my phone to return.”

“That day, there was a pickup truck driver, too disgruntled, stopped the car, knocked on the door of this truck, asked to give way to my house, but they still refused to give way. I don’t know who you are, but my family Thank you very much!” – Khanh Chi added.

“This is a sad story, I also don’t want to start a war. The purpose of posting on social networks is to warn everyone. Then everyone will have a family member going through life and death like this, be the driver. Let’s have a civilized car!”.

The reporter contacted the driver in the clip, Mr. Pham N. T said: “I was stopping at a red light that day. There were many cars in front of me going straight from Linh Dam Street to the other side of the road. And then it was in the turning lane. On the left, many cars can turn to give way, but none of them will give way. Why are you condemning only me?

If the vehicle is on the road, I am ready to give way to the priority vehicle immediately. But here the car is stopping at the red light intersection, the other afternoon the cars are crowded, I can’t pass ahead. Everyone knows how crowded Linh Dam Street is. Vehicles turning left to the direction of Giap Bat bus station are convenient to yield but no one is willing to yield. While I was going straight, and was standing in the middle lane. If I go forward and unfortunately collide with another vehicle moving in the direction of the green light, who will be responsible?”.

Mr. NT also added: “That day, I also took the patient to be examined from Bach Mai hospital to Nam Dinh. If there was a collision, I would not be responsible. I was also very worried when the whistle blew. The ambulance howls behind, trying to get up to make way for the ambulance can’t work. If there is an accident, will the ambulance stop and testify for me because I had an accident because of giving way? So everyone has to sympathize with our driver.”

“I’ve been driving for many years and know well the law that states which cars have priority, but there is no law that requires cars to run red lights to give way to priority vehicles. That’s the law, but that day if it’s convenient to give way. I will still pass right away, but the road is too crowded so I can’t do anything else. At that time, cars turning left can turn left and go down the road to give way to an ambulance without giving way. . I just wondered not to give way, if I give way, or I will be handled for running a red light, or having an accident, I can’t do it.”

The clip quickly went viral on social media, garnering the attention of netizens. Tens of thousands of people have expressed their feelings, commented and shared the clip, partly frustrated because the car driver refused to give way to the ambulance and thought he was ready to accept the penalty for human life. Most importantly, but there are also people who share with the driver because the law does not allow cars to run red lights to give way in such a situation and express condolences to the owner of the clip in the incident.
