Does the cop know where the hospital is?
Regardless of where the hospital is, the ambulance leaving the hospital and the supposedly hysterical driver have the same distance to cover.
The policeman made his decision and told the driver to stay. The driver then made her decision and stayed.
Damn those doughnut munchers.
I don't follow. If the ambulance was being dispatched from the hospital, it would have to cover twice the distance to get the patient to the hospital as would the car.
The driver then made her decision and stayed.
Once the cop was on-scene, the driver really could make no decision. If the driver decided to continue, the cop most probably would have forcefully prevented it.
