Here's a question for you. Although hypothetical, it could happen. If a firetruck, police car, postal truck, and an ambulance - all with sirens blaring and lights flashing (except the mail truck, of course) - arrived simultaneously at four corners of an intersection, who would have the right of way? Who should be allowed to cross the intersection first?
 
The person in the ambulance might not be in dire need of help
In my case i will pick the Firetruck
 
The mail truck because he drives on the right side instead of left.
 
Okay, in every scenario, the postal truck has no importance whatsoever. In fact, the police might stop and check out the reason he's equipped himself with lights and a blaring siren.

The fire engine and the ambulance have equal priority, because either could conceivably be trying to save someone in a medical emergency. That seems to take priority.

The police car is the better equipped for making up for lost time. It's small, and won't be carrying a patient. They should let the ambulance and fire engine through, then jet forward across the intersection ~ unless, of course, arresting the driver of the postal truck is more important, then they should just stop in the middle and attempt to cut him off.

So the priority would be:

Ambulance
Fire Engine
Police Car
Postal Truck

However, having given it the thought you suggested, I would say the answer is: which ever two, from the police car, ambulance, and fire engine, are going parallel to each other should go first, the the other should go second. That would be the best answer.

The postal truck has nothing to do with it.
 
The postal truck has the right of way because it can be carrying important government letter.
