In Germany, we have laws for that.

...which are enforced?
Because that's one major issue with the legal system of the USA.

If you block the ambulance in Germany, you get punished nowadays.

Whether video evidence of driving through it without blocking an ambulance is enough? I don't know.

Even trying to enforce the rules is a win in my book.

They are enforced.

Source: I spent nearly 20 years as a medic and a firefighter. And I have had cops arrest and ticket drivers for driving HUA, (Head Up Ass around emergency vehicles.) It's an easy ticket.

But it's still an issue.
