Emergency Vehicle/Red Light Question

[YamFazFan]

So you are saying that when you (the global you, not you personally) approach a set of light or other junction, you just stop wherever you happen to be in your lane?
You don't check your mirrors and assess the traffic around you and position your vehicle accordingly before stopping?
Whether there is an emergency vehicle around or not why would you position your vehicle in such a way as to prevent one from passing if necessary?
How many times have you been filtering and come up against two cars tight up against the lane divider and you have to stop and wait for them to move or make them aware of your presence. They aren't moving and gain nothing from it. It's just lack of forward planning and lack of consideration for other road users.

Unless you've already seen/heard the emergency vehicle coming, and have time to hang back a bit, everyone pulls up at the white line by the lights don't they?.

In a car you don't have a lot of leeway either side to let an ambulance through if they can't use the opposing carriageway do you.
