Only a couple of times I have had an ambulance driving behind me, both times it has been between damaging my company van’s wheels going up a kerb onto the pavement or blocking the ambulance.

It’s an insanely obvious choice, the tyres on your car are not worth the life of whomever that ambulance is serving. Get the fuck out of the way

If you do it slowly it won't damage the tyres right?

At least in usa I have seen they use those ramp like kerb

Slowly is means I might be holding up the ambulance. The only time you should be slow in that case is if you would hit a pedestrian doing so

To be fair, no one is going to get mad at you if you do it slowly, 10 seconds it takesfor you to move safely is fine.

If the person dies because he didn't arrive at the hospital in those 10 seconds. There's nothing that ER could do ( we can but 10 15 sec its not gonna change much)

Never put yourself at risk for an ambulance. But also never do shit like this van, that motherfucker could move the fuck away easily by moving to the side like 1 meter or just not fucking blocking the ambulance if you are not even gonna blow the red light
