    Ambulance drivers are humans as well & they should drive carefully not like the formula car race drivers.

    These ambulance drivers drive at breakneck speed and extremely rash driving, no wonder many accidents happen because of this . Speed governors should be installed in these vehicles. Poor patients rather than reaching the hospital safely are at an increased risk of death and injury. Dedicated ambulance lanes do not exist even in the big cities!!!!

    Joes Salian, for your information, Ambulances have the same speed limit as other vehicles but they have right of the way as long as the siren is on. They don't have the right to smash a bike if the bike just because the road is narrow.

    There should be some sort of regulation for Ambulances. -- In the process of trying to reach the patient at the earliest to the hospital they are a hazard on the roads -- AMBULANCE if well-equipped will have or should have-- all the necessary lifesaving equipment's -- so it can take care of emergency for a few hours -- it will be like an ICU -- Further patient is traumatized with high-speed driving -- vehicle swaying from one end to the other etc incl others in the vehicle ----
