He was driving a regular pickup truck with a magnetic flashing light on top,
and could have easily gone around me, but he had the expectation that a
stopped car at a red light needs to get out of the way so a nerd in an
unmarked vehicle with a magnetic flashing light from Amazon could get through
the passing lane, and he absolutely could not get over himself long enough to
just use the right lane.

I respect firefighters and especially volunteer ones. I respect all emergency
vehicles, and if I'm driving, I'll totally pull over or otherwise get out of
their way, but at a red light? They shouldn't expect too much from me when I'm
stopped at a red light.
