You'd think white car would be a fan of separated bike lanes...

Look, if we're inventing hypothetical scenarios, imagine there was a fire truck behind the car. Now the car drivers are clearly the bigger assholes.
cars pull over as that’s part of the drivers training. You get fined also and that’s part of the course. The cyclists take no training so if the picture were accurate, that car would have pulled over two blocks ago and the cyclists would still be blocking the fire truck. Oh and the warehouse will be burnt down killing all the workers on less than minimum wage all just cuz two cyclists felt entitled to be spiteful assholes.
Bro do you think as soon as someone gets on a bicycle they forget what sirens mean? Do you honestly think that everyone on a bike with an ambulance behind them would just be dumbfounded and confused as to what it wants? And all of a sudden they're entitled spiteful assholes as well?
Do you realize it's people on those bicycles, not goblins?
Can you even imagine someone on a bike going "Nope! This is my lane! I have rights! Thou shall not pass!" while a fucking fire truck goes BRAAAAAAAAAH at +100 dB behind them? 😂
You know what, how about we execute all cyclists immediately to prevent this scenario from happening in the future.
What ever it is you're taking, you need to either take more or less of it. And you should see a mental health expert rather soon. Also, please do the world a favour and stay away from vehicles of any kind.
I don't think it's a warehouse, it's an underprivileged children's hospital cancer ward. Also the doctors in the ward are the only doctors in the region, meaning those two bike riders committed genocide
Your mental gymnastics is incredible! I have seen hundreds of YouTube videos with cars blocking Ambulances but I am yet to see a cyclist blocking one. My real life experience is also consistent with this.

Well you get the idea.
