Yesterday afternoon I was driving towards Tauranga with a small workman's truck travelling too close behind me on State Highway 2. My passengers and I heard a siren but were unable to see anything for some while as the truck was blocking our view. Finally we realised it was an ambulance with lights flashing and siren blasting. I immediately pulled over to the left and expected the truck to do the same. But no, he sailed past us with the ambulance on his tail. I noticed there were red work cones on the truck, used for road works. We followed them with the ambulance still trying to get past the truck. Finally they did by overtaking, putting themselves and the patient in unnecessary danger. Disgusting driver behaviour!
