Seen this happen in European countries too, eventhough I despise american fascist pigs

I speak perfect english but still use „ja”, ja?

This is a funny clip and an accurate depiction of NYC congestion.

But, I live in a major city and we make way for ambulances. If it's this bad we'll end up with civilians running red lights or cops on motorbikes to unfuck gridlock.

I myself ran a red light last week in rush hour to GTFO when I hear sirens. Just turn on my hazards, slow roll into the red light. Cars were already stopping for me so I was safe, then pulled over.

This is really just making fun of NYC traffic and how fucked it is. The delivery makes it extra funny since we rarely get such an animated German on the front page.

I come and save you, ja?

I get imense stress from having an ambulance behind me even if there's plenty of room to pass on the side. Immediately plotting where to go if it needs to go exactly where I am.
I can't imagine having an ambulance behind you and going 'Meh, I'm driving here.'

In case you wanna see a "RETTUNGSGASSE!!!" (= rescuing lane) in action this clip is what it looks like ideally. If traffic slows down for whatever reason or if there are sirens in the distance drivers are supposed to assume this formation pre-emptively and misusing it is a crime.

Love this. Who says the Germans have no humour.

Eh, feels like he's playing up the stereotype of the eternal German.

"...WE DON'T DO ZIS IN GERMANY! YOU BUILD HOUSES WITH WOOD? WE DON'T DO ZIS IN GERMANY. YOU DON'T SEPARATE GLASS FROM RECYCLING? BUT WE DO ZIS IN GERMANY!!!!

I'm allowed to say that, I'm German myself. We are obnoxious and tone-deaf fuckers.

For contrast: a video of a more congested street in Paris 17 years ago. The situations aren't completely comparable: bigger emergency vehicle, smaller other vehicles, smaller street with less options to get out of the way, ... One other major difference and the reason I'm posting this, is that 30 seconds into the video, you can see that most drivers have moved to the sides of the road AHEAD of the firetruck and that they are holding still while waiting on the firetruck to pass them. The street + path are less than ideal and there isn't really enough room, so the truck is still not going very fast, but it's at least able to keep moving. By moving to the sides, the drivers also blocked in that smaller firetruck that was coming from the side street, so that's going to cause some confusement after the big one has passed.

The reason that that NYC ambulance is completely stuck in traffic, isn't because of space, because there is plenty compared to that Parisian street, but it's the drivers who are not creating a path. It's not an infrastructure problem, it's something that can be taught + encouraged if there is a political will to make a change.

It's German John Cena.

I’m not an American but I’ve lived in Washington for years. Every time an Ambulance is moving with its siren on, people move to the side of the road to let it pass. This guy is just inaccurate.

Ja.
