      There’s I believe one example of that in the us and they were charged under the relevant currently existing law that makes willfully blocking emergency vehicles a crime.

      So anyone in standstill traffic when an ambulance comes will go to jail? Or does this not apply if you’re in a car?

        Do you understand the difference between accidentally doing something wrong and being negligent and causing harm? Like you get that if I swing a bat around in my backyard and someone sneaks up behind me that is a lot different than if I swung a bat around in a crowded room?

        In my opinion, if you knowingly block or don’t have good faith in attempting to move away, it should be illegal.
