Celebrities in Iran have been found riding ambulances to avoid sitting in traffic jams, according to the head of the private ambulance service.
Mojtaba Lohrasbi said "some very famous actors" were included on the list of offenders, as well as private tutors and other wealthy individuals.
He made the comments in an interview with the state-supported Iranian Students' News Agency, and suggested police were "too busy to cooperate".
In Iran, it is illegal for an ambulance to be in use without a medical-related reason, which includes carrying passengers who are unwell.
A prosecutor general has since issued a judicial order requiring police to arrest anyone found to be violating the rules by using ambulances to skip Tehran's traffic.
Under the order, the vehicle would be seized and the individuals would be "treated by law".
Mr Lohrasbi said the issue is not as bad as some might think, despite also suggesting that police were too busy to implement the order.
