Lightbar on Camry
The lightbar changes the driving habits of everyone around us wherever we go. Cars suddenly drive slow (sometimes so slow...it's disturbing) and the tap-tap-tap on the brakes of the cars ahead of us do not fool us. He is not a cop. He is not the Sheriff. He is not an undercover agent, Homeland Security, CIA, FBI or the State Patrol. He's a volunteer EMT/Fireman.
Speed up, people. Even I don't drive that slow.
Or....sometimes they think I'm the prisoner riding in the front seat with no handcuffs on, holding my purse so they peek in to see what I'm doing. =p
I should videotape some reaction shots.
Especially when the Camry with the lightbar pulls into a HC Parking spot. WHOA..... out comes the placard along with me. Oh. It's for her, not him.

Interesting (and sad) how quickly people make assumptions.
Funny lady! I like your sense of humour :)
Actually they're making reasonable assumptions ... it's just too bad that they are doing something they ought not be doing. He COULD actually use the light bar to get past all those tapped brakes. Hmmmm. I know it would be wrong, but he could.
I've even seen that with a tow truck with flashing lights...everyone slows to a crawl like a bust is about to go down.
Speaking of "assumptions", we (or rather... "I") make up stories about why they're suddenly driving 10 mph under the limit, especially if they were speeding behind us to begin with!
I've only been along for one 911 ride and people do NOT pay attention to the lightbar, it's like "pardon me...let me get across the median really quick THEN I'll be outta your way!" yeah... you mean right before we crash into you or after?
I'm one of those that sloooow down.
Ha! Well, if it gets people to drive less insanely, then that's good.
COOL! I want one for my power chair!
THANK YOU! I actually laughed when I read this and I didn't think I was capable of laughter today :)
Definitely interesting to see that people slow down and drive more cautiously because of the light bar. I can't blame them though. On our trip back to California in December, police cars are everywhere waiting for you to slip up even the tiniest bit just so they can give you a $300 ticket for any violation. I don't drive since I let my license lapse but my husband does and in 15 minutes of driving on surface streets, we saw at least 5 police cars.
Blessings....
lol, lol, i guess you got to take it with a grain of salt.
People will be people, curiosity, assumptions are bound to be part of the scenerio.
Take care have a great week.
