gentle reminder - emergency services - *PLEASE GET OUT OF THE WAY*
been meaning to post this for a while.... so so SO MANY times over recent months witnessed people/cars just simply IGNORING - emergency services - AMBULANCE - FIRE TRUCKS - POLICE
WHAT IF IT WAS YOU - IN NEED OF HELP
YOUR LOVED ONES - IN NEED OF HELP
SOME TIMES **SECONDS** *DO MATTER**
my dad taught me - GET OUT OF THEIR WAY - PULL OVER - LET THEM THROUGH
again and again and again and again and and again - WITNESSED people/cars - just COMPLETELY IGNORING EMERGENCY SERVICES
was talking to a volunteer fire fighter earlier this year - he has been driving fire trucks for 18 years - only recently - recently - they HAVE to slow down going through intersections - HAVE TO - (tracking device - new requirement) - because *people WERE NOT getting out of their way*
SECONDS CAN SAFE LIVES
oh and to the person who beeped me - (oh weeks and weeks ago - been meaning to write this for a while - witnessed so so so many more BEFORE and SINCE - FIRE TRUCKS - AMBULANCES - just not going anywhere
- people/cars - just sitting there - not getting out of their way (when they CAN - understand sometimes can't - these times - so many - PEOPLE/CARS HAVE ROOM TO GET OUT OF THE WAY..... just SITTING THERE - FIRE TRUCKS - AMBULANCES HAVING TO GO **AROUND** people/cars that could easily have gotten out of the way..
(oh and to the person who *beeped* me - what was your problem?? defensive driver me - (taught - re taught) - you were not behind me (I CHECKED!) *before* indicating THEN pulling over to the side of the road - getting out of the way of emergency vehicle going other way - seriously - beeped - what on earth?!)
I know, as usual - if you're here - preaching to the converted
- just needs to be said - if you're here - already a good neighbour - if you already know this - & do this - I don't know - maybe spread the word in person..?
don't know how else to fix this SERIOUS - potentially LIFE THREATENING ISSUE...
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

My Christmas tree lights controller exploded in a ball of flames last night, so please be careful, Ive had them for a few years. If I hadnt been in the room it would have been a fire.
