Relatives of a sick person in an ambulance with its siren wailing called it “unbelievable” after a Mercedes Benz driver refused to get out of the way for their ambulance.
Then, to top it off, the driver gave them a middle finger salute before driving off on the expressway.
Thai media has called for action to stop a problem that seems to be increasing. Fines of 500 baht for those with million baht vehicles are seen as no deterrent at all.

A video of the incident was posted to Facebook.
An ambulance was on its way between Phyathai 2 and Phyathai Hospital (Sri Racha) on Saturday.
