Our ambulance was transporting a patient to the hospital around 10:00 Tuesday morning. We were starting up a hill, in the right lane of a four lane highway. A car in the left lane started up the hill slow, and a truck behind the car blew his horn. I have no idea what the driver was thinking but decided to come over into our lane. My driver did a great job at avoiding to hit the other driver but we could not have missed by more than a foot. The other driver never knew we were there.
Lessons Learned: Always be ready to react when driving apparatus. Use the left lane until you have to merge in the right lane. It was a WTF pucker factor!!!
