If that ever happened here in California everyone of those cars would have a $500 ticket before they could blink. That's why that never happens here.

People need to have their assholishness thrown in their faces a little more. I actually wish the guy tried to embarass them even more somehow.

Awesome way to kill your boredom ;-)

Adding video to channels (Talks) - requested by ant.

was on the 101 yesterday in stop-dead traffic... watched the cop drive up the emergency lane to the accident ahead..

Oh, and he also called in violators in the HOV as he went...

different countries, different rules :-) over here the emergency vehicles don't use the hard shoulder which is only used for breakdowns. instead they go between the two lanes, respectively between the two leftmost lanes if there are more than two. of course that means that you have (i.e. are legally bound) to make room when in a traffic jam. a concept which - just as the idiots in this clip - not all folks seem to be able to wrap their heads around, therefore knowingly endagering others lifes.

Civilian activism, served with a smile. This is perfect.

Funny, I was almost compelled to get out of my car this morning. I was at a light and the asshole in front of me just threw a half-full cup of coffee out his window. I was SO tempted to walk up and chuck it back in his car. Much less of an example as this, but as I've said elsewhere people become amazing fucktards the second they get behind the wheel of a car...

But I wonder if it's legal for him to stroll around a highway like that, even if traffic is not moving...

People only ever do it when there's no movement, he'd be asked to go back to his car but nothing more. I quite like this guy. Only problem is that there's so many roadworks happening on our motorways that if you see a bunch of cars change lane into the hard shoulder, you can't be 100% sure that the police or motorway services haven't redirected traffic there themselves.

Nice bit o' leg at 6:20.

"On the continent" (British english for continental Europe), the biggest problem with emergrency vehicles seems to be that people can't grasp the fact (that they have all learned in driving school) that
a) if you are standing in front of red traffic light and you have an emergency vehicle behind you you are _legally required_ to drive past the red light and make room and that
b) you are not allowed to take the opportunity of the open lane behind said emergency vehicle and follow it.

Although it may be asking too much, seeing that most people don't know how to sort it out when two lanes converge.

Me, on this motorway, I'd develop ambulances with gobs of horsepower and great huge left-facing "snowplow blades".

This guy is my hero is more ways than I can count.

I can't watch this because for some reason when people get embarrassed like that I can't seem to watch. I guess I don't like confrontation maybe? No idea. Anyway same reason I couldn't watch Borat

Exactly the same, here.

I'm amazed how friendly people were to him. I can't imagine anyone would be that cordial if this was in Toronto.

In Massachusetts US, they converted the emergency lane into the carpool lane during rush-hour.
