This ambulance is not for you

Like in a proper totalitarian regime when the president drives past he does so in a stunning convoy of vehicles including ambulance, police, motorcyclists and lots of sirens and fancy lights. All cars in both directions have to stop on the side of the road immediately to let him pass. If you don't you get run over. The guys on the motorbikes are the "sweepers", they hit everything that would be in the president's way and sweep it off the road. So if now one of them crashes into someone or something and gets injured or dies, the presidents ambulance that would be right there won't stop! So it might happen that the president is on his way to moan for a friend or family member that has died when one of his "sweepers" dies in an accident, but he wouldn't even stop and neither tell his ambulance to do so.
