Murray Chong says cycle lane separation barriers would prevent him pulling his low-riding sports car out of the way for emergency services vehicles.

Does this headline seem fair to you? He’s a former ambulance driver, and his complaint is the new cycle lanes will prevent vehicles from moving out of the way of an ambulance. The headline presents this as him being concerned about damaging his car should he accidentally drive over one. It seems like a very clickbaity way to present the article if you ask me.

    would prevent him pulling his sports car out of the way for emergency services vehicles in a timely fashion.

    I really feel you don’t grasp that making way for an ambulance is something to be encouraged.

      The ambulance can stop and pick up the cyclist you hit on thier way to the hospital. It’s just more efficient.
