As a german I’m always flabbergasted when people from other countries are amazed by that. It makes sense to do that - help get’s faster to the accident and therefore the road will be cleared much faster than if the emergency services are stuck somewhere in the traffic jam. Do you have this strange behavior in other parts of your daily life, too?

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.

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