    Kinda misleading. This dude is a comedian and “influencer” (not really in the typical sense but he films a lotta stuff for online content). He cuts filming just as people are moving out of the way for the ambulance.

    I ain’t saying NYC doesn’t have a problem with what he’s saying, but I am saying you can see how he’s not being entirely honest and he’s incentivized to be dishonest.

      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.

        Yeah he primarily posts English language content because his humor is mostly based off English speaking stereotypes instead of, well, jokes.

      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.
