Wang's bitter experience was reported by the Beijing Evening News and her post was retweeted more than 30,000 times on Sina Weibo, triggering a wave of heated debate and soul-searching on the Internet.

Some Internet users lambasted the lack of social ethics among drivers, who are often seen illegally maneuvering on emergency lanes or parking their vehicles on bicycle lanes or sidewalks.

"What cold-blooded souls they must be! How can you expect such drivers of little morality to make way for ambulances?" said Internet user "Heikaixin" on Sina Weibo.

"What's wrong with the people of modern society? What if you are the one who is waiting for first aid in the ambulance?" said "chen_up_2012."

Some, however, noted that the misuse of "privilege vehicles" like police cars using their sirens without any emergency tasks has led to the mistrust or even disgust among the public.
