Achtung! Snel! Snel!

The stereotypical Indiana Jones German 😁

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

This dude is a comedian and calling things kinky is one of his catchphrases.

Another reason I don't like this idea of this dude being used as any source of information, I find his comedy routine exhausting and overly laden with tired, old stereotypes instead of actual humor. A lot of his jokes are "Germans are fetishists", "Germans used to be Nazis", "Germans are rigid and rules following" and "my wife is Jewish, isn't that bizarre?"

because social media platforms will delete your content and ban you if you continue to talk about the "bad stuff".

• suicide
• rape

welcome to the dawn of the age of new speak. I heard a 13 year old kid last week say "unalive" instead of "kill".

we're so fucked.

All of them are forced to drive. Some people admit they are terrible drivers, but have no options if they still want to have a life not revolving around commuting.

Ya!

No amount of dishonesty can invalidate the fact that in a typical german city that ambulance would be going literally 10 times as fast without any issues. Its not just stupid drivers, but NYC is also just a complete failure in terms of road design.

I mean, there are about a thousand people that can coroborate the fact that people block ambulances in NYC all the time.

Even if they did eventually move out of the way, it would still be way slower than what happens in Germany (and many other European countries). Cars would begin to move out of the way as soon as they notice it approaching.

I am a german i never seen this guy. Maybe he is more famous in the USA. 

Bro is the Uncle Roger of Germans

He cuts filming just as people are moving out of the way for the ambulance.

You do realize you’ve proved his point? In Europe there’d be no “just as they are moving”, the cars would have already moved by the time the ambulance reached them.

He's exactly what I'd expect of a German comedian.

Also, there’s no place for people to pull over.

Because USA is a shithole.

Rettungsgasse. It means that the cars on the leftmost lane pull over to the left and all other cars move over to the right. That always creates enough space for an emergency vehicle to pass through.

Yup, but they mostly did not. That's why the ambulance got stuck so far behind.

Also, their making way is reeeally sluggish!

Instructions unclear, they got ran over at the intersection by a dodge ram with a lift kit that could not see them.

The time to arrive at emergency should be the same. Death will not wait for you. 

Then take London or Paris and compare New York to them. The ambulances are able to get through in London. Here's something: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5Ez1K1W-uM
