Now there has been a third fatal MVA involving a Rebbe and the use of red lights, it seems like every Tom, Dick and Harry [ or should I say Chaim Yankel] has one, sometimes I feel like these guys are a bunch of overgrown fifth graders and each has to show who has more wigwags or a higher decible siren

Who says that any of the vehicles had red lights and or sirens? The State Police press release names all the heimishe passengers in the Ford Explorer and mentions “The occupants of the Cadillac, including Rabbi David Twersky, age 81 of New Square were not injured.” No mention of a Rebbe. We know who Rabbi Twersky is but the police were not seeking to link him or his car to the accident.
I don’t know if this latest accident is related to misuse of lights and sirens but I was shocked when I saw the son of a different Rebbe came from EY and his entourage illegally used lights and sirens as if it was a great kavod. I don’t understand how the son of this Rebbe allowed the drivers to do this without protest. It is more than childish, it is dangerous. What happens if hatzala loses their right to use sirens because some meshunega thought he was showing honor to his Rebbe? What if police start pulling over emergency vehicles to check if there really is an emergency?
I don’t know whether the accident involved L&S or such, but while we’re on the topic, I’ve got my two rants to add. I’m stuck of having jerks in BP turn on their obnoxious sirens just to try to get ahead in traffic. Aside from being a pain in the rear and stealing other people’s time, they endanger lives. I’ve come to the point that I almost tune out sirens from any car that isn’t a Hatzalah truck. I’m sure I’m far from the only one. That means there will be actual Hatzalah members who will find that no one will move aside for them due to all the tunas that cried wolf.
Asid litein es hadin.This is one reason people hate us. “Give a Jew a foot and he’ll take a mile.” The state was nice enough to allow private cars to respond with L&S but of course some of us turned that into Rebbe motorcades and I left work late on Friday and I need to rush home. Very juvenile.
Who does the installation of the L&S on these cars?
Is this really happening? Can the community deal with this?! R Avigdor Miller says that b’zman Moschiach beis din will administer malkos to traffic violators.
To kuvult: I thought the give-foot-take-mile thing referred to Indigenpus Americans. It did in all those cowboys movies i
