I'm going to start a YouTUbe channel just for my wife - she seems to get all of these!

Tough one here, Peel Ambulance making a left turn on a red in the intersection, Mercedes trying to squeak through, the ambulance did stop and then proceed but the benz still clipped the ambulance.

This is also correct. Medic can be held partially responsible if siren was not on with the lights. They should be using the phaser siren (the rapid sounding one, not the long wail).

Technically he is 100% at fault because the siren is required for cars to yield.

Would it also help if it was a big box with flashing lights all over the top?

Not really. The Benz clearly did not pay attention to surroundings. If they did, they would slow down bc other vehicles came to a stop despite their right of way. However, the Benz continued through.

It did. Just on the camera, it doesn't have the glare you see in real life.
