Well my view was that the answer is yes the ambulance violates the rule, but violating the rule is morally fine there. But still pedantically yes the ambulance does violate the no vehicles rule.
Yes, the instructions say to not moralize, justify, or apply local laws. Strictly enforce the stated rule.
It's amazing how many people can't follow the instructions, without realising their proving the creators point. Even while arguing the creator is wrong!
