The unknown driver of the Mercedes follows the ambulance as it overtakes stationary traffic

A motorist in Lincoln caught the moment the driver of a white mercedes followed an emergency ambulance through traffic that was driving on ‘blues-and-twos’.

Sam Keyworth was driving his own vehicle on Canwick Hill at around 1700 on 7th August when, having seen the emergency ambulance approach in his rear-view mirror, he pulled over in order to let the ambulance pass.

However, just as Mr Keyworth went to pull away, he noticed that the driver of a white mercedes convertible was tailgating the emergency ambulance as it crossed over some solid white lines which were in the middle of the road.

Mr Keywork told ‘Lincolnshire Live’ that the driver of the white mercedes was not directly following the ambulance and that the car turned in a different direction once both it and the ambulance reached the brow of a hill.

He told Lincolnshire Live:

“At first I thought they were just pulling back on to the road like everyone else was.

“Then they moved into the middle of the road and just shot past everyone else.

“I couldn’t believe it when they carried on after the ambulance turned off.

 

On his own Facebook profile, Mr Keyworth said:

“Apparently it’s acceptable to drive up the middle of the road following an ambulance on blues now if you’re as important as this person…

“And no they weren’t being escorted or anything, ambulance turned off towards Bracebridge, car went towards Branston…”.

A post published on the East Midlands Ambulance Service Facebook page said:

“our staff are highly trained experienced blue light drivers; they risk their lives to save others.

“Following our ambulances through traffic while they are travelling on blue lights is dangerous, not only are you putting your own life at risk but you are also endangering other road users and pedestrians #Be999wise #Respect”.

in reply to West Midlands Ambulance Services’ post, Mark Jones said:

“We had this happen in Western Australia recently The driver received a 12 month ban and fine Sheer arrogance on the part of the Mercedes driver”.

Needless to say, that the driver of the white mercedes will be given a ‘C__kwomble Award’ in the next issue of our popular subscriber-only fortnightly digital magazine, ‘S__ts & Giggles’.

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories & videos which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services & NHS by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' back in 2018 was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services & NHS which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of you, our readers.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
