Watching this made me angry.

Video was filmed from an ambulance trying to respond to an accident. It has already been forwarded to the police.

How do you even get cars facing the wrong way like that?

Also corridors like that would never form in the US, so we may not have much room to make fun of the fact that a small number of people are screwing things up on the other side of the pond.

They turned around because they wanted to drive back to the nearest exit to escape the traffic jam.

Why was the ambulance driving the wrong way through traffic?

Interesting. Normally in north america the cars would stop in the road way and then the ambulance or tow truck would go down the shoulder of if a two lane they just go on the wrong side.

It wasn’t. The idiots were driving the wrong way down the carriageway.

Doesn’t even look like there’s enough room for them to do that, but I guess there must have been. Here in the US, it’s not uncommon to see people cut across grass medians to get into the lanes going the opposite direction, but I can’t say I’ve ever seen anyone try going the wrong way one their side of the highway (except for going short distances in reverse to get back to an exit).

This just makes me want to put massive bullbars on ambulances. Let these a-holes like the one in the silver blue-ish Jetta worry about what to tell their insurance.

The description mentions “A4 motorway”, but that’s translated from Polish, so this must be the east-west route through Kraków, NOT the one in England. Thanks, Google Translate!

Yeah, I noticed that too. If I was vacationing over in (I guess this was Poland?), my instincts upon seeing an emergency vehicle would be totally wrong.

I’m aware that the amount of Poles in this vid is about right for the UK, but this is definitely the Polish A4 autostrada (motorway). :P

That is crazy.

As pointed out it’s Poland in the video.

In the U.K. you would get the occasional idiot reversing up the hard shoulder.

LOL the ratio of right-way to wrong-way traffic was almost equal in some spots. It was really throwing me off there.
