When traffic comes to a standstill, German drivers instantly shift left and right to create a Rettungsgasse, an emergency corridor so ambulances and firefighters can fly through at full speed (cdn.imgchest.com)

Here in the UK we do something similar, though not until we see the flashing lights. We pull across as far as we can in order to allow as much space as possible.

That is the law in the US as well. TWICE I've seen someone ignore it and both times other citizens (in cars as well as pedestrians) bully the driver into following it.

Driver: I didn't have anywhere to go!

Bike messenger: Turn into the fuckin alley or I'm breaking all your lights

Just the other day I watched some luxury SUV sitting dumbfounded in a left turn lane with an ambulance flashing lights and blaring the horn behind it. Oh yeah, the left turn lane was the one that led to the emergency room parking lot. I wish that bike messenger was around then

Bike messenger are the real police. They'll give a homeless guy a sandwich a then turn around and beat the shit out of a pickpocket.

You do not fuck with bike messengers, they're pissed off at the world and right to be. Plus they know all the escape routes.
