London - Ambulance driver Colin Wright has been reprimanded for allowing his wife Eleanor from driving with him while on duty. Mr. Wright and his wife had reconciled personal transportation issues by having Eleanor join Colin on his daily shift of duty with disastrous results.
In a written statement London Ambulance Director Neil Bailey noted "Mrs. Wright translated her anxious habits to the detriment of her husband's duty and the public health."
Specifically the statement outlined a number of infractions by Mrs. Wright including constantly shouting "Stop! Stop! Stop! You're driving too fast", "I really think we should stop and ask directions" and "Eeeeeeyaaaahh lookout Colin, you're going the wrong way!"
Mr. Bailey says that Mrs. Wright deserves admonishment "for putting her needs above that of the public good by asking her husband to stop the ambulance on several occasions at a Starbucks and to drop something off at the cleaners."
In a particularly damning statement Director Bailey noted Mr. Wright failed to arrive at an accident after Eleanor convinced her husband that "I'm not feeling up to it today."
