One week after my first some was born, I came home from work to find my wife collapsed on the floor due to a then-unknown heart condition (very low BP and a heart rate over 200 beats/minute).
With a wife and new son in tow, I was driving both to the hospital while trying to call 911 so an ambulance could meet us on the way.
I encountered some traffic and one of these lane blocking trolls succeeded in blocking my way for a minute as I tried to go around. You know, because I was trying to 'cheat' and he was a freeway avenging angel.
Needless to say, a crutch would've been the least of his worries if my wife ended up dying on the side of the freeway.
Moral of the story? Don't block a lane because there may be emergency reasons for people doing what they're doing.
