Comment on When traffic comes to a standstill, drivers instantly shift left and right to create a Rettungsgasse, an emergency corridor right down the middle, so ambulances

  This would require people capable of thinking and having empathy for others

  Here in America you’d get people peeling through the middle

    That’s what’s amazing to me. Every single driver resisting the urge to cut the line when the opportunity is right there? Couldn’t be America.

  In the US? You mean other than keeping the shittiest health care system in the world just to be sure no money would go to someone who can’t pay?

  Around here, emergency vehicles just drive in the shoulder when this happens.

    We Brits got rid of a lot of them (and laughably called them “smart” motorways), so now we just sit there and watch people burn.

      Yes, but you’re ignoring the advantage of smart motorways. By removing the hard shoulder, that ensures people who break down can block an entire lane and endanger themselves and others in the process! Smart! Bonus!

  I know atleast one country where half the people there would try to use that corridor. So yea it requires some couple levels in civilization.
