The m6 driver is just trying to act like a cow boy or sheriff on duty. he might be an off duty cop. The ambulance driver is abusing his state given rights by running his siren just to use the fast lane. But consider this :
I have experienced driving on american highways in adverse weather with packed traffic (basically no option to change lanes, just drive with the flow), and some idiot american soccer mum in a suv was unsafely tail gaiting when traffic speed was over 75+++ in a fairly heavy rain. This is how you get chain accidents with 7-8 vehicles involved. I tried to warn her with intentional repeated brakes, but she was too dumb to understand i had to do exactly what this m6 driver did. Slow down progressively to a stop on the highway. I could see that american bitch swearing and gesticulating as I did, but then she got scared and froze when she realized i could walk out of the car and come around. Instead i took up full blast so that she would no longer be the car behind me. all lanes were packed, there was no option for me to do anything else to get her off. Tailgating is illegal and dangerous in fast moving high traffic.
That american bitch probably left clueless and hating on bmw's when she was the one that should be thrown in jail.

I'm sorry, I don't agree with your thinking here. If you don't like someone behind you, move over. It's that simple. Use your blinker and move over.
Here in Southern California traffic is always heavy and generally there is very little room to move over, but if you use your blinker, you will get over eventually. Additionally, it lets the person behind you know that you see them and recognize their desire to move passed you.
By moving over you take out the emotion you were feeling. You don't escalate the situation, you deescalate it. You go happily down the road and so do they.
