Why the frick do people do this? Is that the law? I only pull over when there's an emergency vehicle behind me in MY lane. If it's in the opposite lane in opposing traffic, I'm not in the way and therefore continue going about my day while not slowing down traffic behind me.

If you're one of those people who pull over for an emergency vehicle in the opposite lane, frick you. I hate that shite.

Give them as much space as possible so they can comfortably haul arse and not have to worry about running into people. If it's not a law, it should be.

Just common courtesy. What if it needs to whip a U turn on the spot? I'm sure there are many hypothetical situations to which it is a good idea to pull over.

Because sometimes emergency vehicles have to turn left. Not really that complicated, and as a guy who drives a fire truck at times, let me say how annoying it is when idiots in the opposite lanes don't stop.

How did you pass your driving test?

Agreed. Also, what's up with all these assholes donating blood for strangers? You don't know where that blood is going! You could be saving the life of a pedophile! fricking pricks.

So you're one of those pretentious assholes who goes around helping people and causing confusing traffic procedures to take place?

You're the worst kind of person.

Because we're all in this together. You never know when some jackhole is going to be texting and giving the ambulance a little extra room for like 10 seconds of my life is just common G-ddamned courtesy, baw.

Nothing sucks worse than when it's almost time for your light to turn green at a busy intersection but an ambulance rushes through and changes all the lights to red. Then the signals reset and you have to wait through the entire cycle again.
