Because it’s gridlocked you stupid German.
I’m not an American but I’ve lived in Washington for years. Every time an Ambulance is moving with its siren on, people move to the side of the road to let it pass. This guy is just inaccurate.
Manhattan has gridlock that prevents this. There’s no space to move into.
yup, I was on a street so narrow just a couple months ago that I couldn’t pull over far enough to let a firetruck go by. I had pulled over as far as I could. The truck got behind me and I couldn’t move over. SO I just said “fuck it” - and zoomed into the road as fast as was safe and turned off the road the first place I could find.

To be fair, with the congestion that severe, the ambulance should use helicopters. Like they do here in London.
Good luck finding a spot to land somewhere close within Manhattan. Unless you happen to have the heart attack next to a car park (or the central park) that also happens to not be heavily used right now there’s hardly any spot to safely land.
in London and other cities it’s less of a problem given we don’t build that many high rise buildings and got more big old market places and small parks.

So why not put paramedics on a e-bike, so they can actually arrive at the scene first. It’s not like the patient gets put into the ambulance immediately on arrival. Might as well have someone take care of the patient before the ambulance arrives. Just put a e-bike in the back of the ambulance or rack it on the front.
That sounds like a legit idea. Most important 1st aid gear can fit in a backpack. Inhaler. Defibrillator. Tracheostomy Tube. Etc including stuff to stop bleeding, including the knowledge of how to do it correctly.
Eh, feels like he’s playing up the stereotype of the eternal German.
"…WE DON’T DO ZIS IN GERMANY! YOU BUILD HOUSES WITH WOOD? WE DON’T DO ZIS IN GERMANY. YOU DON’T SEPARATE GLASS FROM RECYCLING? BUT WE DO ZIS IN GERMANY!!!
I’m allowed to say that, I’m German myself. We are obnoxious and tone-deaf fuckers.
There’s tone deaf and there’s common sense, life saving practices.
This. I absolutely prefer to be a tone-deaf fucker among tone-deaf fuckers if that means my ambulance arrives timely after someone tried car buttsex at 260 kmh. (162 mph)
What, speed limits? Don’t you dare touch my freedom.

Yeah, ok, he’s not wrong, but also, he can f— right off. We don’t need/want foreigners 2 cents, we know it’s fucked, but fuck him. Sorry.
Haha, do you mean that for real? I am curious who you are in real life, you seem to be an interesting person.
Well hell yeah. Who is this German ass hole? Thinks he fucking superior? I think his country and people have plenty of their own issues and bullshit. It was 1 stuck ambulance in NY city, and he’s going to talk all that bull shit about our country?
I’m sorry, but I’m not very patriotic until I see this kinda shit. That German can fuck on back to his own country and act like prick about his own ambulances stuck in traffic.
Well that’s the thing. Our ambulances are not stuck in traffic :D
Either way! You (and him, or other like kind) can fuck right on back. You don’t think we have eyes? And we know it’s ridiculous, but do you see us locals talking shit like that? Well. And even if you do, it’s our place to talk shit about, not yours.
Aren’t Germans supposed to be smart enough not to act like a jackass in a foreign country?
Well I am not in a foreign country and it’s everybodys place to talk shit about everything. If you don’t like it, don’t read it. Don’t take it too seriously. I would be happy if you point out something ridiculous about Germany. It’s to better ourselves or to laugh together at it.
No, it’s not… terrible take. You sound unapologetically German. So, German… but you also sound young. Anyway…
Thanks?
I live on a small 14-acre farm in my parents’ 5 bedroom house. I had some issues and moved back home several years ago, but now I couldn’t leave because there is too much to do, and they are older now and need more help around here.
This comment actually perfectly encapsulates how the US has got to the point that it’s at today.
