Yeah if they aren't using the emergency lights then it means there's no emergency. Pretty sure the first comment was talking about normal road users anyway...

Emergency flashers... on your typical like Nissan Altima (or whatever)?

The two vehicles were headed to a central meeting point to save critical time, in the actual middle of nowhere.

This wasn't a typical driver in an urban environment, again thus was the middle of nowhere with low traffic. They also, again, weren't trying to reach the hospital, they were being instructed to meet medical staff halfway as the dispatcher and emts determined that was the best course of action.

But it's obviously that you'd rather feel morally superior than compassionate for someone trying to save a life; and you clearly have experience making these kinds of judgement calls, right? What a sad, sad person you must be.

'Legally right' means dick to these people.

Let them pass lest they do something reckless and take you with them in the process.

I must have.

My wife is an anxious passenger. I usually set the adaptive cruise control to whatever matches prevailing traffic, and stay in the outermost lane unless I have to pass someone. Most of my driving is honestly trying to make sure if someone does something stupid, I’m reacting to it in a calm way.

A lot of people have big feels about controlling the road.
The adaptive cruise control is interesting - if I’m a few hundred feet behind someone long enough for it to “lock in”, I know their speed because my car is pacing them.

It’s fascinating to see people suddenly accelerate after miles of the same speed on a relatively empty road because I moved into the passing lane, or (conversely) slow down because they’re alongside a slow vehicle and not in danger of being under-passed by another driver. The ego and herd mentality is something to behold.

Oh, sorry. Comment snuck up on you too fast? Put you ill at ease while you thought you were the only person on the internet?
What are you gonna do, claim personal offense and use that as justification to return the offense ten-fold?

There is another option. It’s minding your business.
We can’t know the justifications or dispositions of others, but we can choose not to pick fights with strangers. In fact: choosing to avoid confrontation could save a life! Someone else’s, or even your own - you don’t know who you’re messing with on the road. 🌈💫
