Murray Chong says cycle lane separation barriers would prevent him pulling his low-riding sports car out of the way for emergency services vehicles.

Does this headline seem fair to you? He’s a former ambulance driver, and his complaint is the new cycle lanes will prevent vehicles from moving out of the way of an ambulance. The headline presents this as him being concerned about damaging his car should he accidentally drive over one. It seems like a very clickbaity way to present the article if you ask me.

    Yeah, they do put the reporter’s bias against him into the title. Though, at the least, he is concerned about damage to his car from the barriers.

    Chong wondered who would pay for repairs to low-riding vehicles like his damaged in encounters with the separation barriers.
