Chalk one up for Eastern drivers
I am waiting for my bus, and a firetruck goes by, sirens blaring and horn blasting. You would have to be dead not to notice it coming. Of the twenty-odd drivers at the intersection I am waiting at, one almost moves to clear the way for the firetruck. Otherwise, everyone just ignores it. True, there was a turning lane open that the emergency vehicle went through, but that is SO not the point. I don't remember if Western drivers are as bad, but jeebus, this level of apathy gets to even me.
