As far as cars not going thru red lights to make way for Hatzala vehicles, in Brooklyn, is because of the Sodomite laws that are in place. RED LIGHT CAMERA’S. People are not interested in getting a $150 red light ticket. Yeh, tell the judge, “I had to go thru the red light” because there was an emergency vehicle behind me. They laugh in your face and say “the camera doesn’t lie”. You’re guilty. Please stop by the cashier on the way out to avoid further penalties & interest charges.
I’m not condoning it. This is just the mitzius.

Some observations:

The bus was moving pretty fast and with the ambulance on his tail, he could not slow down to move into the right lane as there were slower moving vehicles there blocking the bus’ intended action.

We see less than two minutes of the film and the video finfishes before we see the ending. The bus may have eventually been able to move into the right lane.

I too have witnessed Hatzala cars here in non-emergency circumstances speeding; going through red traffic signals with lights flashing and sirens blaring. And parking anywhere at will while shopping (sometimes it’s the wives who are using the car). I make this statement after being certain of the “non-emergency circumstances”.

Yes, unfortunatly this is how too many israeli drivers react to emergency vehicles in Israel.This bus driver should be punished, there is no justification for his blatent disregard of an ambulance.
That being said,here are some factors to consider:
1-The bus driver may have been arab.
2-Ambulances in Israel drive code 3 in way too many non urgent situations.This has the unfortunate effect of deadening public respect when it is realy needed.
3-Israel police do NOTHING to enforce respect for emergency vehicles. No tickets are given out, I dont even know if there is an increased fine for failure to yeild.

We have to assume that the driver was not a Yid.

Very strange & odd.
Is the rule in Israel the same as in USA, to pull over to right and slow or stop? Or are there another set of rules?

Not just the bus. All but one vehicle in the entire film just kept going. This is terrible!
