they don't on siren unless needed? Ambulances do it too.
have you tried riding/driving with that type of loud sirens
blaring? imagine it on all the time when you're driving. And of
course you have people complaining why they need to have it on all
the time too.
I get what you mean. I used to be with the SCDF paramedics and
we got all sorts of memo, mostly a result from complainers all
around. e.g:-
There's a lot more which I can't really recall. But thats how
things are in civil service. People always complain about us and
then new directives will have to be applied. Quite annoying.
Few months before I left, we're not allowed to run red lights
anymore. Not at all, even though its a critical case. I think there
should be a solid rule that we all have to give way to
ambulance.
