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

Chaim Gordon was transported to Nyack Hospital for minor injuries.

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.

August 16, 2022 9:35 pm at 9:35 pm #2115808RockyParticipantI 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?
August 16, 2022 9:36 pm at 9:36 pm #2115810DontMindMeParticipantI 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.

Very juvenile.
