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.

    I wouldn’t think normal use includes driving over them, I’d think of them more like a curb.

      In a lot of cities, tram tracks share space with the normal car and bike traffic. I could stay right of the rails for most of the time, but had to switch over for illegal parking cars (luckily a rare occasion there, as blocking the tram was severly frowned upon), but more frequently for changing lanes to turn left. There is nothing worse than getting stuck with your bike in a tram rail in the middle of the morning commute.
