FWIW not exactly related but many people aren't aware that emergency vehicles like an ambulance are allowed to monopolize the left lane, lights on or not.

I have never heard of that - without lights and siren? Without emergency lights and siren turned on, "emergency" vehicles are the same as other vehicles on the road and must follow the same rules / laws - at least that has always been my understanding.
