Dear Sir,

Please allow me to thank some special people.

On Thursday, June 27, I had an accident in Southampton, which required medical treatment. The Southampton Fire Station team was the first to respond to my call and they performed at a high professional standard. By the time the ambulance arrived I was ready to be transferred to the hospital.

On our way to the hospital several motorists did not give way to the ambulance, even though its emergency alerts were on, therefore demonstrating a total disregard of the law.

I would like to ask the motoring community to show more respect to the ambulance when the emergency alerts are on - you could be helping to save someone's life and, in fact, your own life could be at risk some time.

P.s. Thank you Billy and David for everything.
