Hi everyone! I need some help! My dad and me would like to go to the US to do some drive alongs with an ambulance service. My dad once did that in the early 90's at the former EMS service in New York. Now it's my turn:p, he want's to come along though. Now, we would like to do this somewhere...

I am Thom, I'm from Belgium and I live in the city Dendermonde. I work in my dad's private ambulance service, we provide emergency care in our region, intensive care transports (micu) non-urgent transports, wheelchair transports,... I became an "ambulancier" (similar to te emt-b level) at 18...

Correction 'A knight's tale'...

In belgium.... In belgium you may only drive 30km/h faster (code 3) then the allowed speed. When you get caught on a speeding camera driving 90km/h when you may only drive 50km/h you get a ticket. At traffic lights we have to slow down and almost stop. The speeding camera's at traffic lights...
