G
Friedrich Dobl, a Yugoslav working in Germany，was tired of traffic jams．At long weekends and holiday times when he wanted to get home quickly he always found himself behind hundreds of other cars moving slowly along the unpleasant foreign workers’ route through Germany and Austria．
How easy it all was for police and emergency services．A siren，a flashing light! And like magic everyone was out of the way．Going home from work one night he passed a garage (车库)．And there in front of him was the answer to his problem．An old ambulance was for sale．The red cross had been removed．But not the flashing light，and the siren．He tried the light．It flashed wonderfully．He tried the siren．That too sounded impressive．He bought the ambulance and opened up for himself a dream world of motoring．
It began early in the morning, all his luggage in the back of the ambulance and motorway in Germany looking reasonably clear. Soon, as always, a long line of traffic appeared ahead．He switched on the flashing light and set off the siren. Cars immediately slowed and pulled off the fast lane(车道)．Other cars stopped and drivers waved him ahead to an open road all his own．In record time he rushed into Austria. The big bluff was working．Police eyen waved him through the confusion(混乱)caused by an accident．
But then the Yugoslav made his big mistake．Until then he had only stopped for petrol. Now he was driving past a real accident，lights flashing，too late to realize that it was not another traffic jam as he thought．They stopped him，and after hearing the story of his ride across two countries fined him 12.5 pounds．
