Youre on the road to drive and so am I and all the other people around you, so how about you fuckin drive...
now inconvenience aside what if it was an emergency vehicle trying to get thru? Its pretty easy to be distracted for a measurable time and if that measurable time happened a few times on the way to the hospital with a seriously injured person they could be dead from idiots not paying attention.
just a little light reading....

Two points. First, this happened at a red light, not while driving. Second,ambulances have this thingee called a siren which manages to draw the attention of drivers in the area. At least here in the Tri-city area, and also in New York City, where I drove one for 5 years.
You seem to be missing the point. I am not arguing that what I did was ok or not. I simply asked if this is what the law actually meant. Since it obviously is, and I now know this, I will be paying the fine tomorrow and not reading any more while in the car.
