I am gonna guess you have some half baked action movie shit in your mind about just ramming it? And then the ambulance just...drives away?

if to save a life I would (no doubt) gently push that stupid car out of the way. Wouldn't you ?

exactly.

seems like everyone imagines im bruce willis, zooming down market street, swerving to avoiding gunfire, with some poor soul on stretcher being dragged behind the ambulance at 90mph .

and I'm gonna guess you imagine me driving an ambulance at 50 miles per hour and send the robocabs skittling into a crowd, when the boring reality is that they could be safely push out of the way.
