It's also a problem at every single store parking lot too. You can't even get around them. They apparently think the firelane is theirs to park in.

No cops. And those remaining have higher priorities

Meh, I'm out in the suburbs with plenty of cops and no one is ticketing them. We had a pedestrian hit while trying to cross in front of a storefront. There were so many cars loitering with flashers, blocking the fire lane, that the car that hit her didn't see her until she just darted out. If they hadn't been there, the pedestrian would have been visible.

I absolutely expect them to find a place to pull out of the actual traffic lane before stopping. How is this even a question?

If that's your expectation, then I suggest you move out of a city.

I’ve lived in DC for 30 years, always drive, and never do this. Because I’m not a jerk.

Or an uber driver, or a delivery person, or a person with a physically disabled loved one who can't walk far.
