I've never been to New York, but as somebody born and raised in Southern California, lived in Portland, Or, and is currently living in Minnesota, I have never seen this. You always move over to the right. Immediately and without question. In California, Oregon, and Minnesota, at least, it's the law, and you can be fined for not complying.

I live right outside NYC and have to drive through on a semi-regular basis. People generally do move out of the way of emergency vehicles. BUUUTTTT, traffic is completely fucked in NYC. Watch the video again, cars are trying to move but literally have nowhere to go. This happens daily, if you're not out off Manhattan by 3pm your travel time is now at minimum doubled on an average day. Some days its 3-4x worse.

As an NYC resident, cars will move over if there's space, but there's so much congestion that you physically can't move, there's no shoulder or anything.

And there's also idiots who are fighting congestion pricing that helps with these kinds of problems by reducing the number of cars on the road. You can't widen these roads without getting rid of sidewalks which just means even more cars and traffic so the only option is reduce the number of cars.

the right lane cars move to the right the left lane cars move to the left the ambulance goes down the middle, its interesting your brain only imagines moving right but not process the goal of creating a path

My brain can imagine the process of creating a path, wtf, that's literally what I'm talking about. Just moving over to the right is what is written in the law in most places. Chill.

Sounds like @SethW's comment was meant for @nandeEbisu or other comments countering you, but idk

How do you know what his brain imagines

He states always move right. That works. Implied is all the stuff you said
