[Carruthers]

Driving home this morning from the weekly grocery shop, I could see blue flashing lights on a vehicle about a quarter of a mile behind me and travelling in the same direction.
I was approaching a roundabout and worked out that the best place to move over would be the other side of the roundabout and before two lanes merged into one.
The plan worked well and several vehicles behind and one in front did likewise.
The emergency vehicle came into sight and had a clear path until... UNTIL...an Audi pulled out from the line behind me straight into the path of what turned out to be an ambulance first response car!
The Audi driver floored it and shot off down the road at about 60mph in a 30 limit.
Two possibilities occur to me. Was he so unobservant that he was completely unaware of the blue lights so just pulled out when he saw the opportunity to get past the slowing vehicles in front, or did he deliberately take advantage of the situation on a sod everybody else basis?
In rather blunt terms was he stupid or just a complete arse?

It didn't end there. A couple of minutes later, approaching another roundabout, a full size ambulance (flashing blues), travelling in the same direction as the first vehicle, came into view and everyone moved into the left lane to let it past.
Guess what happened next? Exactly. Another vehicle moved out of the slowing line of traffic to position itself for a right turn and obstructed the ambulance!
Eventually light dawned and the errant driver pulled over.

I'm fortunate in not having to drive much these days, which is just as well as it means I don't encounter the stupid and/or aggressive too often.
I do not profess to Papal infallibility, I'm only human and I make mistakes as well but some of the things you see on the road are enough to make your hair curl.

Rant mode disengaged.
