Your Other Right
I'm driving with lights and siren down a four-lane street. This is a high-priority call, so I need to get where I'm going and get there right now. Everyone is doing the right thing - moving to the right and stopping. Until I get behind this moron in a van. Even though the people in the right lane are giving him plenty of room and waving him over, he stays in the left lane and just goes slower and slower and slower, with me practically driving up his tail pipe. I am screaming mad. Finally, he just stops. I have to go left into oncoming traffic so I can continue. As I go by, I give the van driver my best death stare, and he looks back at me like he has no clue what he's doing wrong. I mean, isn't this Driving 101? My mistake: I don't get his license plate number so I can visit him at home later with a ticket.

I think there are a lot of drivers who honestly don't know this is standard behavior and not just other drivers trying to get out of the way. If there was ever a need for a PSA, this might be it.
I would have expected a dash cam to get his plate.
Why didn't you just go around him on the right?
Maybe people need to be retested more often for their drives license qualification. There is a case here of a woman who stopped in the fast lane for some animals, and two humans died when they slammed into the car. 90 days in jail for duck-stopping deaths
