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.

Pet peave of mine. Ambulance on a free-flowing road running right about at the speed limit with the lights on.

They aren't getting anywhere any quicker but they sure do mess up traffic.
