Are you implying that if your job is important that you should have superior rights to use public space? What if the person on the bicycle is also a heart surgeon on their way to work?
erm . . no I obviously don’t think there a loads of heart surgoens late for work all over the streets either on cars or bikes.
But in general, yes, people working for emergency services should have superior rights to public space that’s why they get the flashing lights and sirens. If the biker is an emergency services and turns on lights and siren, others should make way.
Funny enough my surgeon on one of my bike accidents was also an avid cyclist. I got to tell him about the virtues of fixies, he told me about his beautiful racing bike and how he keeps his derailleurs functioning smoothly.
But yes I will drive extremely carefully near our hospitals. Too many overwhelmed stressed out people there.
