Simple supply and demand, If there isn’t enough demand for the current supply producers they will seek new avenues of demand, this includes, artificially increasing demand. If the government would just deregulate the medical industry both sides would be forced to compete and then the man hit by an ambulance would have a choice of which ambulance that hit him to take.
Business is business.
That's a great business model. Create the demand for your supply yourself. Wtf, this system is so fucked.
I really need to get a camera for when I bike. I try to be cognizant of drivers doing that when I ride. It has not happened a lot, but once is too often.
Create demand
Provide supply
Economics 101
It was also the cyclists fault. Illegally trying to pass an ambulance along a curb. Now the old guy wants a million bucks for riding his bike around like an entitled asshole and failing at it.
I don't know if he was riding around like an entitled asshole, but it does seem the rider was technically at fault. The ambulance driver should have been watching for exactly this situation though too. It doesn't seem like it should have happened if either party was paying attention.
Is riding in the bike lane illegal? Do you not understand how bike lanes work?
There's a picture, idiot. There is no bike lane on that road.
Sounds reasonable. Blind spot makes it easy to run over cyclists when doing a right turn. "Attention, Angles morts".
And it sounds reasonable each party writes a bill. Can be offset in court.
And btw an ambulance ride in Germany is like 500€ to 1000€. For once something that's not 10x as expensive as in other parts of the world.
