The first minute and a half of that video makes me so angry, how shit must you be at driving that a paramedic needs to UNDERTAKE you??

What an absolute fail. 
 
What was going through their mind? Maybe they had the radio up full blast singing along to Kylie Minogue.

I'll be honest i've once had music up a bit too loud and not realised there was someone behind me with blues and two's on for a few seconds, but the second you realise you pull straight over. Really makes you see things from another angle

your only supposed to be in the outside lane if your overtaking something though. Emergency or not the van driver is a bellend.

obstructing the emergency services doesn't go down too well in court.

I beleive the rule is, make it so its easiest for them to go by, easiest for them would have been a straight run, not having to undertake the van. 
 
So yes, its highly illegal

Absolute bollocks. You should always endevor to move out the way of a blue or green flashing light. Your not ment to jump a red traffic light or put other people (or yourself) in harm but he could have clearly just moved over.

That van is shocking, but that was at least 5 or 6 vehicles that did a similar thing of just sitting in the outside lane

he shouldnt have been in that lane regardless if there was an ambulance behind him or not. 
 
everyone shouting about how much of a twat he was, but that is a typical example of behaviour on todays roads i see from day to day, nothing out of the ordinary there

Indeed.   
 
Just go up the inside and offer them "your a tanker" sign and point to the inside lanes. 
 
Await verbal abuse back, and laugh at them.  Usually with an L shaped hand to the head   
 
Easier on the bike

the outside lane is only a overtaking lane. He was not overtaking, therefore should pull in.

hes more in the wrong for being in that lane rather then moving over for emergency vehicles. 
 
does nobody remember the incident where the lady got fined for running a red light because she moved through it to let an ambulance with blues and twos going behind her. 
 
the justification was its illegal to run a red light but not illegal to not move over for emergency vehicles
