I am not sure what to make of this. It is interesting, but will it be effective. Your thoughts?

That's two minutes of my life that I won't get back. Painful to watch. I love how at the end they post in big white letters, "Wear your Seatbelt" but in his well illustrated 'Simulations' he's not wearing HIS seatbelt. Anyway, I think I am going to choke myself with a spoon!
My thought? What a waste of time… It isnt funny. It isnt educational. It isnt even well done.
I enjoy humor and satire just like the next guy, but this is a waste.
wait a second… isn't that brent?
good job, now we just need the public to do their job, right ha ha, how true ,how true
Its funny because the end of the video says "wear your seatbelt." Where is his seatbelt
I think I'd enjoy an extended version of that last second more than anything. Show us THAT video.
What the hell was that?
The message is a good one. I just can't get by the fact that the Fireman looks and acts like a total loser, J/o or whatever you wanna call this fool. As said before. That is 2 plus minutes of my life never to be recovered.
The only problem is, some state laws don't say you have to pull to the right. That's an old school of thought. On five lane roads with a left turn center lane, it's perfectly legal to pull into and stop in the center lane so that the emergency vehicle can safely travel by. As long as the fire apparatus isn't moving at a ridiculous rate of speed, this can be handled without any problem. The guys who complain about this are the ones who regularly drive fire trucks and ambulances at twice the speed of sound. On two lane roads, moving to the right is the accepted practice. Our law says you must 'yield right of way'. We might need a change of thought process on this whole issue. Let's focus on the citizens yielding right of way, whatever that involves, and driving with due regard.
