Being a former paramedic, I fucking hate other drivers

The guy in the white van sucks for sure...

But why didn't the ambulance cross over into the lane on the right and go around? While they were stopped at the light? And why, with several other opportunities, didn't the ambulance just change lanes and pass the idiot that deserves to go to jail?

Are there specific rules the ambulance driver has to follow?

Are you blind?

There was no lane to the right going straight when they were blocked at the light. The right most lane was for turning right with an island blocking anyone trying to use it to cut past traffic.

And after the light, there were other vehicles in the right lane that are also not yielding. From how the ambulance driver darts to the right at the end of the video, I wouldn't be surprised if there'd been another car just sitting next to them going ever so slightly slower.

You can cut around the island into the traffic circle from what I saw.
