I don't get it. What's the point of the emergency lane on the right, then.

(ok maybe it's because in the tunnels there's no emergency lane, but likely there's no room for doing this trick anyway...)
I think almost every country in the world pulls off on the side of the road to let emergency vehicles through, Australia ain't special
Nearly every country does that though..

It could be possible that there a car which won't drive anymore and bcs of the speed that most emergency vehicles drive they would crash into a car on the far right line..
Forming a corridor means that emergency vehicles can pass through the street without crashing into cars, in more civilized countries it doesn't need a law for that. Also, the way Austrian politics introduce new laws or products always makes it seem like they invented the wheel anew...that gives Austrians a weird sense of superiority.
The emergency lane is more than widely used on nearly all europe. Also, what's up with all of that food?
