Elite Ambulance deducts the cost of red-light traffic tickets from employees pay when they go through a red light - siren and lights on - driving for an emergency. This has been going on for a long time, with about two thousand drivers affected. There is finally a class action lawsuit.

It seems to me that the actual problem is the town issuing a red-light ticket to an ambulance. The town should be sued, as well. You can see this on Lehto's Law on YouTube.

Unbelievable.....
Not all traffic lights are set up for radio signalling for forced green (those flashing white light indicators).

I wonder if they issue tickets to police that do the same thing when rushing to a crime scene?

Funny. Lehto wondered that himself. I think the town would have to pay those tickets, so probably not.

Wake up. You took a drivers test and it asked who could ignore a traffic law, a cop, and ambulance, a school bus, or lastly a US Postal vehicle. The correct answer is a US Postal vehicle (logic, The Mail Must Go Through). Most don't know this, US Postal carriers do not have to adhere to traffic laws.

They deserve what they get, they voted them in. Don't have much sympathy for Chicago or Detroit.

The mailman doesn't have to stop for funerals or military convoys either.

Since we don't have all the details, is the ticket thing also when running light & siren?
Or like when getting lunch.
A few 3 minute lights could make a Life & death situation death...

Well that explains everything that can't be discussed here. Very sad and not surprising with that bunch.

If someone in the town government called 911 and they took a half hour to get there I am sure someone will fix that problem in no time.
