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.

    The barriers are so low this prick thinks you’re meant to be able to drive over them. Forget 100mm, how about 1m concrete barriers… less room for ambiguity

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