What do you do when there is an emergency vehicle like an ambulance behind you?

In India, four out of ten patients die before they reach the hospital. The average speed of an ambulance in Mumbai is merely 12 to 15 km/hour. In a life and death situation, every minute, every second matters.

Each time you block the way of an emergency vehicle, just pause to think, what if it was your loved ones in the ambulance and even with the wailing siren, no one gave way?
