Hungarian here, who lives in ireland but let me narrate this video with time stamps. First a bit about ambulances - They are usually Mercedes-Benz Sprinters, but are just normal vans without a big box on the back. There used to be a lot of VW T4 Transporters too and older early 2000s Toyota Hiace vans too for ambulances as well from my days anyway. Thing is, there are some narrow streets in Budapest, which this is based in. So some ambulances cannot be too big. Its not Italy type of tight streets but they do get narrow from time to time. All service vehicles have full permission to go on the tram tracks because they are filled in the middle so they can be driven on. Time stamps 1:28 As far as I know, only UK and Ireland drive on the left in Europe. (I stand corrected, they drive on the left in Malta and Cyprus as well) 1:34 The red bus is called a "Trolley Bus" They are fully electric and get power from built overhead lines. However, some new ones have batteries so they don't need to be hooked all the time. 2:26 This is one of the ring roads around budapest and its going towards the end of it. 3:05 He just turned off the ring road. To the left, you can see a roller coaster that is made fully from wood and it used to be this massive fun fair with a lot of cool rides but it got shut down because the zoo beside it needed more room for animals. Some of the rides are however protected contructions so they just operate as normal while being the part of a zoo. 3:20 Yes, its still the Pest side of the city still because there are two halves, split by the river Danube (or Duna for not english speakers lmao) so you have Buda and Pest but the big city itself is just called Budapest. Now the roads here are SO FUCKING BAD that if you are not careful and have low profile tyres, you easy could buckle the alloy or get a puncture 6:00 the close call was with an old Renault 5, which was the first car my dad had. It was an ex rally car apparantly. 6:15 They are now crossing over to the Buda side of the city, over the river Danube. 7:12 To the left, you are passing an old blue bus. Its an Ikarus 280 and it used to be made and manufactured in Hungary. The company I believe was established in 1895 by this one guy who had a blacksmith workshop. 7:57 This to the left is a more modern Volvo bus. Since Ikarus is not around anymore, most buses are from Volvo, MAN or Mercedes. Some of the cars that we've seen in this video are but not limited to - - Late 90s Suzuki Swift hatch and saloon and also the next generation from around 2006. Very popular, cheap and reliable cars, especially the older ones. -Opel Astra F hatch and estate and Astra G hatch and estae. Opel was very popular in Hungary because it wasa reliable, cheap and German. -Renault twingo from the late 90s -Suzuki Vitara from mid 2010s -Old Toyota Hiace Van from early 2000s or late 90s -SEAT Ibiza 6L very popular. Also came in Cupra trim which gave you either a PD 1.9tdi 160bhp diesel engine or a 1.8T 20V 180bhp petrol engine. I think it was nicknamed the hitman from Spain because it was an absolutely unreal litte hatch. -Basically most vans from Ford, Opel, Renault and Peugeot. -Renault Clio from early 2000s -Toyota RAV4 from around 2008 -Alfa Romeo 147 and 156 -Opel Corsa B -Multiple generation from Toyota Avensis -Multiple Generation of Skoda Superb and Octavia -Multiple Generation of VW Passat, Golf and Polo (usually older ones because well Hungarian people arent wealthy) -Renult 5 and Megane Estate from early 2000s -VW Lupo -Porsch Panamera -Audi A7 -BMW 3 series 1990 -Mercedes C-Calss 1994 -Renault Scenic RX4 -Skoda Fabia 6Y Now I just cherry picked cars I think are not seen in america much or evn ehard of but anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed :)

Hungarian Ambulance Services has Mercedes Sprinters and VW Crafters. Mercedes Sprinter and VW Crafter are nearly the same (like Ford Galaxy and VW Sharan was) manufactured by Mercedes just engine and interior difference but the logo for example replaceble so hard to see the difference. But this cooperation ended and now Crafters made by MAN (owned by VW) and u can buy MAN TGE and VW Crafter which are the same. :-)

The ambulance was responding from Zugló Budapest (probably from Uzsoki hospital) to Szépvölgyi road via Rónai street, Nagy Lajos király way, M3 highway, Róbert Károly ring avenue, Árpád bridge, Pacsirtamező street, Lajos street, and Szépvölgyi road. That's 8.5 kilometers (5.3 miles), which would take 20 minutes normally and it took place at the beginning of the afternoon rush hour. The reason the ambulance was flooring it because it was responding to a 10-year-old with a skull injury presumed in critical condition.

Hi, I'm interested in your opinion, isn't the wrong ambulance being dispatched from the wrong hospital? I could see multiple idle-looking ambulances being passed and at least Honvéd hospital was much closer, also with ambulance support.

[@kelletamas]

Both in Hungary and in the UK (can't speak for any other places, but probably around the whole of Europe) people in general treat the ambulace like if it was their own child/parent/family in it. If you hear it coming, you do everything you can to accomodate it passing by as swiftly as possible. A life may depend on it

[@TheAmericanCatholic]

Same in USA. The only problems with people in the way is in congested cities (nyc ,Chicago,Houston etc) ambulances can’t get on time because people can’t move out of the way in traffic. People will try to let the ambulance pass. In the suburbs and non congested roads Americans have to pull over the the side and stop completely.

[@TheStevePappa]

@@TheAmericanCatholic In this video, there was not much traffic in Budapest. Ambulance drivers can handle even the heaviest traffic or obstacles. If two adjacent lanes are blocked, the cars move from left to left, right to right and the ambulance goes between the two lanes. I've never seen one that had to stop. When we hear the sound of the ambulance, we do everything we can to keep him moving.

[@vida2559]

It's actually not everywhere the case ?

[@neiltonks4627]

Sadly, here in the UK there have been cases where the authorities have fined drivers who edge through red lights or move into bus or cycle lanes to clear the way for emergency vehicles. Kinda makes you wonder if it’s worth it.

[@mikerowave1986]

I've learnt to drive almost 2 decades ago in the same city, Budapest, Hungary (beautiful city indeed). I can't forget what my driving instructor said one day: "I can't check if you'll follow the traffic rules after getting your license and drive on your own, it'll be your responsibility, but no matter what traffic situation you're in, you ALWAYS give way to ambulance and firefighters!"

I think the Germans cannot handle the unwaited situations. They cannot think spontaniously: they're shaking them fist because they got them trust. Honestly: what is the price of your trust and law? Human lives. You can save someone's life if you don't go strictly by the rules. Just take a small gesture. Situations changes rules: and you can save life if you get over your freaking rules. Mert a németek nem tudják kezelni a váratlan helyzeteket. Képtelenek a spontán reakcióra, és rázzák az öklüket, hogy nekik van igazuk. Csak abba nem gondolnak bele, hogy életet mentenek azzal, hogy jól reagálnak és nem a berögződött szabálykövetést sulykolják.

I love watching these Hungarian ambulance videos because as you say they are quite intense and the drivers in my opinion are some of the best in the world. I’ll also admit having grown up in Canada, the sirens are a bit nostalgic for me as they alway remind me of being in Hungary. Weird, I know but it’s one of the many associations I have with being there. They’re just part of the sights and sounds.

​@@petermolnar6893 Nem tudhatod hányan költöztek ide (mostanában egyre többen; bár leginkább németek és hollandok, viszont ők lassan már egy kisebbfajta tömeget képeznek, komplett falvakat vesznek meg) Viszont, hogy kit mi motivál egyáltalán arra, hogy ide jöjjön, az tök egyedi lehet. Mondok 2 aprócska történetet, amelyek velem estek meg. Egyik, mikor (vagy 30 éve, tehát mikor még szinte azt sem tudták a külföldiek, hogy magyarország rajta van a térképen) egy éjszakai buszon találkoztam egy emberrel, aki már nem emlékszem mit kérdezett, de szóba elegyedtünk. _Folyékonyan_ beszélt magyarul, de érezni lehetett, hogy "töri" a nyelvet, szóval volt egyfajta minimális "késés" és akcentus a beszédében, ekkor megkérdeztem tőle honnan jött? Kiderült, hogy török. Én meg csodálkozva kérdeztem, hogy került ide? Elmesélte, hogy a szülei nagyon tisztelték a magyarokat és őt ez megfogta gyerekkorában. Amikor egyetemre ment, a választható nyelvek közül a magyart jelölte meg és megtanulta amenynire lehetett, viszont még kevésnek érezte és amúgyis el akart már jönni magyarországra megnézni, hogy milyen, valamint egyfajta "tanulmányútra", hogy tökéletesitse. Kérdeztem mikor érkezett? "2 hete". Hú mondom basszus én meg azt hittem itt vagy évek óta, jobban beszélsz magyarul, mint sok magyar, akiket ismerek. Állati jó fej ember volt amúgy, addig nem is láttam még törököt szerintem, ő volt az első (akiről tudtam legalábbis, hogy az) Végülis jót beszélgettünk, majd mindenki ment a maga útjára. Másik történet sokkal későbbről, 2011-ben. A római parton sétáltam, erre megláttam egy idős bácsit, aki úgy tűnt "eltévedt" (ott mondjuk nemigazán lehet, csak nem tudom mi a jó kifejezés erre) Azt gondoltam biztos valami külföldi, akik néha ott szállnak meg a környéken és beléjük fut az ember, de ő tökegyedül volt ott a parton, sehol semmi "csoport", vagy ilyesmi. Beszélgettünk inglészül (angol, csak én ennek csúfolom, mert utálom) Eléggé kevéssé törte, de azért megértettük egymást. Kérdeztem honnan jött, erre mondja: Mexikó. Na ezen lepetéztem és megkérdeztem, hogy került tökegyedül épp _onnan_ ide?? Erre elmesélt egy történetet. Azt mondta mikor kisiskolás volt, az egyik tanára, akit nagyon szeretett, ajándékba adott neki egy könyvet. Magyarországról szólt. Namost ezt olvasgatta évtizedeken át újra, újra elővéve. És minél többet olvasta, annál nagyobb volt a vágy benne, hogy egyszer eljöjjön ide és megnézze. Viszont olyan szegény helyen élt, annyira kevés fizetéssel, hogy ez sokáig csak álom maradt. Azt mondta _mostanra_ gyűjtötte össze az összeget az utazásra, szállásra és némi költőpénzre, hogy 3 napig itt legyen. Egész életében félretett erre valamennyit a pénzecskéjéből és végül, sok évtized alatt lett meg. Amikor azt mondta nekem fátyolos tekintettel ott a parton, hogy úgy örül hogy végre... hogy amikor idős lett, az az egy vágya maradt csak, hogy egyszer, még mielőtt meghal láthassa magyarországot személyesen, azt hittem eltörik a mécses. Soha nem éltem át még hasonlót se addig, se azóta életemben. Egészen megrenditő volt. Azóta már nem él én szerintem.. de sosem felejtem el, amig élek.

[@darkknight8139]

Here in Europe, roads are smaller than in the USA. Everyone has to learn how to react when sirens approach from anywhere, sometimes you just have to stop where you are, and sometimes it is important to not stop and go on, so the ambulance can keep up its speed and pass you later on. I think this driver is a bit braver than average, nevertheless it is more common for emergency services to drive fast like this, than it is in the US. Ambulance drives have to pass numerous tests and have to be on the road a lot to keep their licence to drive like this.

I love how the traffic moves to the side and gives the ambulance space. Not all people get it though. But enough do try to find a solution for the ambulance to peer trough. I love driving in southern or eastern Europe for this reason. The real dynamics and interaction, the give and take, much more gets done with much less space. Although some are just jerks.

About 20 years ago I went to Belgium by car and as I remember the Belgian traffic was mostly a slow motion video, especially after the German highways (I went through NL but it was only few kilometres, somewhere in the area of Venlo.) e.g. the maximum speed was 120 kmh (~75 mph) on highway but maybe I am wrong.

6:09 is not a quick respond ambulance, it is a kind of “bus” transporting elder and disabled outpatients between home and hospital. Fully trained staff but limited equipment. They are not directed to scene but, since they are non-stop on road, many times they are the first, especially rural roads. They act if they find accident, etc.

Shortly after this video (and its many reuploads/copies) had gone viral the driver (Mr Tibor Cs.) was interviewed by the national TV. He was asked what made him special, better than his colleagues. His response was "nothing, they are all on the same skill level as I am, the only difference is that I have permission from the Service to upload dashcam recordings to KZbin for educational purposes". A TV crew drove the same route at the same time of the day as in the video to see what it would normally be like, it took them 17-18 minutes. As you can see the video is just under 6 minutes.

I can remember reading an article about this video (or perhaps something similar, but surely another speed run in Budapest) that it was going to be used in some Western European countries for ambulance drivers as training material, how to drive in tight situations, how to use the movement, the direction of the vehicle (stressed by the syren) to indicate the intended path to split the traffic. Basically it means to communicate, to show your decisions to the other vehicles. That's what you said seems to be brave driving (and yes, it is at the same time🙂) and still must be careful (this is also absolutely true). Of course good decision making ability is required as well.

Graduated ambulance driver and paramedic from France here, it’s basically what’s happening in any big city in Europe. I’ve been working in Paris/greater Paris for years, not in the SMUR (Service Mobile d’Urgence et Réanimation, can be translated by public hospitals emergency mobile service) but in an ambulance company. When the company is under prefctoral emergency service (there’s a rotation between the companies) you’ve got the green lights to drive like this. We are of course trained at the IFA to drive for specific emergency issue: how to avoid traffic, how to drive in traffic, how to drive with colleagues doing a CPR at the back. The SMUR colleagues are… freaking pilots for sure, when doing joint emergencies they open the road in front of you with a station wagon emergency car with the driver, an emergency nurse and a doctor inside, you have to keep track and stay close to them, not always easy, specially at 5 PM in Paris.

[@petebeatminister]

I live next to a hospital in Germany, and I can tell you that those ambulances are not like normal Sprinter vans, despite being based on Mercedes Sprinters. You can hear that they have a hefty inline 6 cylinder petrol engine, probably a 3,5l or so with 300 +bhp, not the usual Diesel engine Spinter vans have. And they have a automatic transmission as well. So these things go when you put your foot down, even if they are rather heavy.

[@ArnoldNagyOn]

The Sprinter 519 which is commonly used as response unit is a V6 190bhp 5ton max van still capable of 231kmh, in like a few minutes... Requires cat C licence PAVIII clearance and what not. Not a race car by any means, it is the skill what gets them through, mind you based on information here - 8,5km under 6 minutes gives a whopping average of 85kmh which is not for the faint hearted, must have been well over 100 time to time achive this. Hence my problem - if speed was to kill you every emergency responder and racer would be dead by now. It is the lack of skills what kills you, and at walking pace, suddenly. Though on paper it is worth restricting speed - stationery vehicles rarely collide. The more comfortablle we make people the less skills they will posess, road to decline

Here in Germany, there are special rights (e.g. higher speeds than permitted, running red lights) and rights of way. These are laid down in the road traffic regulations. Nevertheless, the special right is also limited, because it is also said: "The special rights may only be exercised with due regard to public safety and order" (§35 point 8 StVO).

[@M0rket]

This is the same for Denmark, however, if an ambulance has an accident, even during blue light runs, the regular traffic law applies. There has been some cases recently, where ambulance drivers have been charged according to traffic law, for running a red light, for example, and hitting another vehicle. This could have consequences for the ambulance drivers, and their driver's license, but fortunately, in these cases, the drivers have been acquitted (as they should be, imo). It has caused much debate over whether or not emergency vehicles should have expanded rights in traffic. Of course, you can never eliminate other people sleeping in traffic.

@Peter Nichtlustig Which part was unclear? Emergency vehicles abide by the same laws as everyone else. They have some exceptions for example for speed limits, driving in the "wrong" lane, etc., but all of these exceptions are at the discretion of the driver and his judgement, and may only be used when it is "safe" or "strictly necessary" to do so. If anything happens, you can argue that his judgement was wrong, that it wasn't "safe" or "strictly necessary" maneuvering, and that he is therefore liable according to the traffic laws. So if an ambulance runs a red light, and hits a car, that for some reason didn't notice the ambulance and didn't yield, technically the ambulance driver is responsible.

[@PeterNichtlustig0815]

@@M0rket That has to be one of the most stupid laws to exist concerning emergency vehicles. Only being topped by the british rule, that emergency vehicles cannot force people through red lights. I mean if there´s been a major error in the driving, e.g. running a red light with 50km/h, fair enough. That´s stupid and has to be illegal.

Thanks for the recognitions! Yes, sometimes life is like that in hospitals and especially in the ambulance service. We run for our lives. In such cases, any help comes in handy, of course. Seconds and minutes count, just as they do during the journey. Here, the driver (in Hungarian: "mechanic") almost made it from one end of the city to the other within the given time. of course, he has the right to run on the rail and whatever, as long as it does not endanger others. You have the option to do so with the signal. But unfortunately, in Hungary, just like running down the corridors of the hospital with the emergency car, even crossing the roads, we must not forget that we have priority when it is given. And the delay is measured in human lives. Unfortunately, our country is still learning how to help. In addition, thank you really, it is no coincidence that our ambulances, firefighters, and other bodies perform well in international competitions. It requires hard training and presence of mind.

[@magnummountain]

Having driven in Europe many times, they drive very different then we do in North America. What is considered aggressive in NA is normal there. Speed limits on hiways are 130km/h. I notice they average between 140 - 160 km/hr. Rubbernecking is also rare. They slow down to 100-110km/hr for people on the shoulder and construction. (If it’s worth seeing it will be on the news) If you are going less than 80km/hr you better be on the shoulder with your 4way flashers on or it could be a fine for dangerous driving. I find they are way more attentive to their surroundings, drive mostly manual transmission, they take driving very seriously and have a respect for the road and their surroundings. I love driving in Hungary, Germany, Austria, Serbia, Croatia! Also much respect to all EMS Personnel!!

[@bohomazdesign725]

The craziest emergency drivers are probably blood and organ transport drivers. In Poland we have specifically assigned emergency vehicles (usually those are Sedans and Combis) for this and only this purpose. You can see them drive with up to 130 km/h (+80 mph) thru the city and rightfully so since if there is a blood request it means a patients situation is critical and in the case of organs also every minute counts since every second saved means a higher probability that the patients body will accept the organ.
