If a cop car, ambulance, fire truck, and postal truck meet, who goes first?

[gotsmack]

If it is a tight intersection the firetruck will have to go last since they can't make the turn if the other cars are at the edge of the intersection. But if it is just going straight then maybe who ever has the green light.

What city do you live in that has lights at 4 way stops?

 

The guy with the ferrari goes first.

I PMd the po po, let's see what he has to say.

If you follow the tenants of the 3-tiered response it would be:

1. Police
2. Fire
3. Ambulance

I believe this is the truth. I remember hearing it years ago that since the mail man is a Federal employee, he/she is technically above them in "rank" and has the right of way. But I think that is if theres no sirens or anything and the four entities came to a stop at the same time.

If the lights are on, I'd hope the ambulance went first, then the fire truck, then the police car, then the mail carrier.

Law of tonnage: firetruck.

 

[deejayshakur]

so the ambulance is on the way to save a life, pd is on the way to prevent a life from being taken, a firetruck i guess you could argue it both ways, and the mailman will spend the rest of his life ringless.

why get married? he gets to screw the po po's wife, the paramedics wife, and the firemens wife while they're at work!

In order of importance: Ambulance, then Fire Truck, then mailman, then police.

The ambulance is either with the firetruck or off to his own emergency, the fire truck is either responding to a paramedic call or a fire/rescue but not as directly related to life saving as the ambulance, the mail man is delivering packages and making an honest living, and the cop is probably off to do something crooked so he can just hurry up and wait

Fire Truck, Ambulance, Cop, Mail. Why do I know this? 'Cause I've seen it happen.

The least maneuverable has the right of way. Well at least its that way in the aviation world.

And for those that think mailman, you lose. Urban Legend. Trey22 checked it out, but did not provide you the link...

I was taught the same thing in EMT class.

However, any mailman that actually tries to assert his right-of-way in a situation like this is both off his rocker and going to get a stern talking to at the end of the day.
