Currently in Alberta there's a lot of online complaining because the government has brought in a law that vehicles must slow down when passing emergency workers if they can't safely give them a full lane clearance. The arguments from those who want to blow by paramedics at 110 km/h (or faster) sound much the same: full of concern that they might not get to do what they want, and dismissing any concern that their actions might be dangerous ("But I'm a safe driver!").
Wow, culture is such a strong influence.
No such law necessary in the US. The entire nation is populated with Rubberneckers, so nothing goes faster than a crawl past anything unusual, including getting a traffic ticket.
