Videos What happens in a situation like this?

Entitled prick blocks a bus because she supposedly wasn't let on. A fire truck is behind - full lights blaring but refuses to move. No space for the truck to pass due to the congestion.

Would anything at all be able to be done? It's times like this that really piss and stress out firefighters, and I'm sorry people like this exist. Hopefully a big charge came her way, but nothing new as of yet as this happened yesterday I believe.

Oh we had this once. One of us fot out. Gently but firmly removed the human shaped speed bump. Traffic moved again till truck got beside me and jumped back in.

Once also guided traffic out of a jam due to defective traffic lights and people wanting to drive towards the accident we where going to.
