Well yeah.... Because it doesn't look like people are making room for an emergency vehicle lol
Without context I wouldn't know what was going on here. US law tells you to pull over to the same side so my first thought wasn't emergency vehicles. I couldn't blame a US driver for not knowing German road law
This isn't pulling over because there's an emergency vehicle actively there. They're pulling over because traffic is blocked up, for the possibility that an emergency vehicle may need through. It doesn't decrease throughput bit it does let emergency vehicles through. If people abuse it then throughput stays the same and they lose the extra benefit.
Fair enough but my point still stands. People aren't gonna figure out why it's happening without being taught to do it themselves so yeah Americans would drive right through
