I'm right there, have been several times. It's so sudden and by the time you really hear them, they're right on top of you.

Like where are we supposed to go when we hear it but haven't seen the ambulance yet? I didn't even know "questionku" was a form, but I like this one! Nearly all drivers can relate to it, Kim. Hugs, Carolyn

It is always unnerving, startling, and you made me feel it.

I panic a bit too, it's so unnerving to hear that siren blasting...hope you didn't hit anything...
