A.A.: "One way? Fine, I'm only going one way."
In Istanbul's Küçükçekmece district on 1 November,an
"ambulance" was unable to proceed down a back street
because the car coming from the opposite direction would
not yield the right of way. The "ambulance" backed up and gave
way to the other car. A pedestrian videoed the incident and
posted it on social media, prompting negative reactions and
a police investigation.
//NOTE: many times, drivers impede ambulances for no reason
other than spite. Other times, the ambulance may be used for
other purposes like this one below ferrying contraband
cigarettes, or as a taxi to get passengers through traffic faster.//
However (!), it turned out that the "ambulance" was actually
a light truck dressed up as an "ambulance" and illegally
appearing to be a real ambulance. Driver A.A. was taken into
custody and fined 23,709 TL ($690), while the "ambulance"
was banned from the roads for 15 days.
