Think about it. It's dark up there in Siberia in the winter. Coming over a hill and into a roundabout, hitting one of those with your high beams would have to give one pause...
No, I think that scantily-clad Megan Fox cut-outs placed all over the city would actually cause more accidents, as I, for one, have been known to lose one or more major motor functions as a result of seeing her nearly naked.
@Fej - it's not good, it's extreme good.: I heard that they had to take down the billboard of the Martini chick in Monaco because she was causing traffic problems. Megan Fox would bring the city to its knees.

Um.. I'm not saying everything the cop did was justified, but I think the stop was... The one thing the dash cam shows that we didn't see on the cell phone was that the ambulance was not "code 3" (lights and sirens). I think if they are not code 3, slow down and pull right applies.
@jolietjake: If you watched the whole dashcam video, the ambulance did pull over just as soon as he could safely do so. Apparently it wasn't fast enough for the trooper who was going code 3 to assist a County Deputy with a stolen vehicle report (code 3 to do paperwork?!).

When the cop says "You failed to yield to an emergency vehicle"
Uhm dumb shit, the Ambulance is an emergency vehicle. Not to mention when you run up on a vehicle at 100 mph, and they have a car next to them, they cannot pull to the side..

An ambulance driver certainly has the right to be focused on the road when he is going to the hospital, the rate of speed the cop came up on him coupled with the fact that he was giving safe space to a car on the side of the road and paying attention to what it was doing was certainly enough reason not to immediately yield.
Cop is a total asshole. Didn't bother to turn his sirens on when chasing the guy down either which is one big gripe I have with cops:
Either you are in pursuit, with sirens on and going faster than the posted speed, or you are driving with sirens off at the posted speed. I've seen plenty of cops weaving through traffic, no signal, no siren, no lights 20 mph faster than the traffic. It's dangerous, pricks.
