FWIW not exactly related but many people aren't aware that emergency vehicles like an ambulance are allowed to monopolize the left lane, lights on or not.

Pet peave of mine. Ambulance on a free-flowing road running right about at the speed limit with the lights on.

They aren't getting anywhere any quicker but they sure do mess up traffic.

Many times ambulances are trying to provide the smoothest ride they can for the EMT(s) working on a patient in the back while on the way to the hospital.

I would think to also let folks around them know they are transporting patient. It might not be emergency right then but if patient goes bad the ambulance might need to make emergency stop or suddenly speed off. Being peeved about EMTs caring for someone is downright epitome of "me-first."
