      how do you think it would work if they only did it when there was an ambulance?

        That’s how it works in the UK. You see a blue light in your rearview, then everyone tries to find space and the emergency vehicle proceeds at a clip of 5-10mph, while the affected people ahead burn/bleed etc.

          I wonder how much more time they would have needed in this example:

          I guess 10 minutes?

            I guess so. I think there are a lot of service roads onto the motorway that the public doesn’t have access to, which means in theory the emergency services would never have to drive that far through traffic. But I’m guessing.

      Yes, we are taught to move left or right to create a middle lane during a traffic jam.
