keep it simple sucka! (KISS)
I only ask 3 things of my partners who drive:
1. don't wreck the ambulance on my watch
2. start slow, stop slow. I don't like getting thrown around in the back.
3. Always pass on the left.
One trick I've learned over the years when running L&S:
If I have someone in front of me that I want to try and get'em to move over to the right, I line up my hood ornament with the front vehicle driver side rear-view mirror. IF and when they look, they see more of the ambulance behind them. YOU do have to watch for the opposing traffic and make sure they are pulling over as well, otherwise you'll have move over.
I definitely want to keep myself and my crew safe, as well as my patient and others driving safe. So please I need advice in case I don't get proper advice.[/SIZE]
