    This is a classic example of people not respecting bikes. That’s like saying you’re allowed to make a right turn in front of someone from the left lane as long as you’re just a bit ahead of them.

      The biker was trying to illegally pass the ambulance on the shoulder, because the bicyclist couldn’t be bothered to wait.

      What’re the odds the ambulance driver could actually see the biker, though?

      Road rules exist for a reason. The reason that it’s illegal to pass someone on the right lane is that they might turn right without seeing you.

      If you’re in a bike on the road you should be as careful as you can, since you’re a small thing surrounded by heavy giant machines. And those in the cars are mostly only paying attention to other cars.

      Cars that are in the rightmost lane don’t expect anything to be at their right, since they are already the rightmost, so they are looking at the traffic coming from their left when turning right, they don’t look at what’s right of them, since there are no cars coming from that direction.
