I dont know if the cycle was right or wrong.
But i do know that i did this once and paid dearly for it,
Me and the driver in the next lane blocked the cycle and held him and other vehicles back in a long line to a similar single lane passing an emergency vehicle.
When we got to the single lane, the was a cop there. He pulled me over, explained to me that HE was in charge of traffic control, NOT ME! He also told me the cyclist was in the right and what I did was actually illegal and a safety violation (not sure if he meant obstructing traffic in general or specifically obstructing traffic near an emergency vehicle, but I went to court and he didn't show up. The judge forgave the cop for his none appearance and upheld the ticket.
The cop gave me a $185 traffic ticket and made me sit along side the road in my truck and watch traffic go past for an additional 30 minutes. The judge upped the ticket to $250 and added the safety violation to obstruction traffic.
This made me really feel like an ***$
