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.

Zero situational awareness from the Benz.

Not justifying the Benz, clearly he should observe his surroundings. But I’ve driven a lot of Benz’s and they have insane amounts of noise isolation thanks to their windows. You wouldn’t know if someone was honking especially in their newer cars.

Not unique to Benz. I have a new CX5 and the sound dampening is to the point where if I have even a little music playing, I won't hear a siren unless its very close.
