It's the presidential convoy. They need the extra lane for security.
Most likely, the Presidential vehicle is isolated on the left side, with security flanking on the right to prevent attack. They had to move left because there was merging traffic from the on-ramp on the right. If they had to filter through the traffic, other cars would have gotten in the convoy. So they would be avoiding the right lane.
So it's likely they were merging left, and this guy came blazing up very fast and got stuck in the middle of the convoy because he refused to slow down to get behind the final vehicle.
Instead of backing out, he then cut across and tried to power through. Which is why they blocked him again.
Still tried to overtake, so they finally boxed him in and stopped him.
Whatever the speed of an emergency vehicle or official vehicle with emergency lights, those lights are a signal not to interfere with the movement of that vehicle.
Ergo: if a police car has its lights on, even if it's going just 40 km/h, that doesn't mean you can overtake and then cut them off to make a right turn at the next stop, or to merge. You are impeding their movement. Same principle applies to a convoy of police vehicles.
Mas lalo pa kung military or police convoy. While you can be forgiven for doubting the typical three-car convoy with a luxury SUV, two red-plate AUVs and a motorcycle cop, it should be fricking obvious when there are over a dozen cars that this convoy was seryosong biznis. So back off.
