      if to save a life I would (no doubt) gently push that stupid car out of the way. Wouldn’t you ?

        exactly.

        seems like everyone imagines im bruce willis, zooming down market street, swerving to avoiding gunfire, with some poor soul on stretcher being dragged behind the ambulance at 90mph .

          lol. You don’t know much about mechanics… do you ? And ambulance is a truck and it is heavy. You would be right if the vehicle to be pushed away was not so light. Anyway, you can feel it when you start to push how the vehicles reacts.

      and I’m gonna guess you imagine me driving an ambulance at 50 miles per hour and send the robocabs skittling into a crowd, when the boring reality is that they could be safely push out of the way.

      I was thinking about the “japanese motorcycle repair kit” :-) (but only thinking, of course)
