Roar, I watched an OPP cruiser almost get taken-out yesterday while it was responding lights and sirrens. The instinct to pull over to the right and stop trumped a guy's common sense. He didn't look first and nearly took out the cruiser, which was in the curb lane because of heavy frozen traffic in the left. Thank goodness nobody was at the bus stop as he mounted the curb to avoid the collision.
Even flashing lights and blaring sirens can't help you sometimes!
Ever see a cop take out another cop? Silliest thing I've ever seen was one with the lights spinning and sirens ringing, getting t-boned at a major intersection earlier this year. Then a supervisor had to arrive on the scene and sort things out. The female driver who ignored the other vehicle is currently flying a desk while they sort out her career!
