Funny. I hope it's photo shopped, though. It would be pretty damn unprofessional.

How many people can read that? I mean just like it is in that pic not in a rearview mirror. I feel odd because I can read words that are pretty much oriented in any direction.

Yeah, if they haven't lost focus and crashed by the time they're done reading it, they'll be rear ended by the rig for NOT moving over!

Of coruse if the ambulance drivers in general didn't tail gate to hell and back to the point that the only two lights visable from the rear view mirror was the grill lights, then probably the majority of 'failure to yield' complaints wouldn't happen.
Agreed. We need to learn to anticipate stupidity, and that just isnt a skill I have seen boston EMTs master.

I can read it. I can write backwards too, although it's a little slower than reading.
Ambulance Driver? Around here, we take offense to that term! lol but seriously, EMTs around here tend to get right up on a car or intersection before they turn on their siren... its like they think they are cops or something!!! lol. Not me, I'm not getting sued because the siren wasn't on, driving L&S properly is enough of a hazard in itself.

Yes. The person who is driving the ambulance is an ambulance driver. It's a part of your damn job description, get the flying flack over it. Furthermore, it differentiates between the attendant and the driver. The damn things don't drive themselves yet.
I'm not sure if you are trying to be inflammatory, but no matter. I was not offended and merely poking fun at your choice of words.

The problem is that it's a specific division of labor that a lot of people get upset at because of word choice. Now if I was to use the term "ambulance driver" as a substitute for "EMT," then that would be different.
