As an ambulance driver in Italy i must say that both the ambulance driver and the police officers have done an astonishing job. The driver followed the bikes by keeping safe distances with vehicles and following their instructions and gestures. The officers have perfectly managed the traffic and opened the way for the ambulance. Well done!

[@worldeconomicfella3228]

As Dutchman I can say those French police bikers can definitely need some training. 1. They're understaffed. They need at least 4 bikes, not 2-3. 2. No cop is clearing intersection by doing a complete stop allowing their colleagues to pass leading to constant speed of the ambulance and to less hiccups (even to complete stops) and near-misses. 3. Cops are all doing their job on their own. In the Netherlands there would've been communication between the cops and the ambulance driver about an appropriate average speed and possible congestions. 4 That knocking on cars is brilliant though.

@@worldeconomicfella3228 comment from a dutch person I quote : "For those that are comparing these officers and their escorting skills to the Dutch police: (I am Dutch, just to be clear) - Yes, the French police could learn a thing or two from the Dutch, but the Dutch can also learn a few things from the French. (Fortunately they are doing just that, as I have seen forces from around Europe working together and learning from each other) - Don't for a second think that dealing with Paris traffic is anything like traffic in the Netherlands. I have been to Paris several times, even by car....the level of aggressive/selfish driving is very very different. These officers have to break the bubble of these people that are alone on the world within seconds and make it 100% clear what they need to do.....this is not done by asking... - Drivers are in a certain mindset of "I have to drive like this" and "fight for my position"....you can tell from people simply driving into an intersection when they see cops/ambulance coming...this would simply never happen in the Netherlands, and if it does, it's an exception. - Blocking an intersection like in the Netherlands does require some kind of flow.....where there is barely any in Paris depending on where you are. I myself would love to see a similar escort in a different French city, as it perhaps demonstrates that not all French drivers need to be rangled this badly. I for one appreciate the skill of these officers, even if to my eyes it looks a bit chaotic....I'm sure they saved the ambulance an awful lot of time, which is the most important of all."

[@KyrilPG]

There's something to add : All the first part that looks like a highway / freeway, is NOT a highway. It's the Périphérique, which is Paris inner ring road, having the status of a special boulevard with special rules. On the Périphérique there is no shoulder lane, no emergency lane and all lanes are narrower than on a common highway. Entering vehicles have priority over the ones already on it, contrary to highways. So it's a bit of a thunderdome arena, borderline stock-car. An acquired taste! 🤣 Locals are used to forming a kind of extra lane (but narrower than it would be on highways) for motorcycles. As for intersections, the rule in France is usually to enter it despite the red light when you have to clear the way for emergency vehicles behind you, instead of stopping on the side. I'm not sure that it's written somewhere but that's usually how they proceed. The Périphérique is also the busiest road in Europe by far. It can be pretty terrifying for first-timers and non-locals. By the way, most truckers using the Périphérique are foreigners as French truckers tend to avoid it because they know this is really not the best road for trucks (narrow lanes, no emergency lane, entry priority, etc). Local truckers usually prefer using the A86, which is the second / middle ring road or the A104/N104, aka the outer or 3rd ring, which are much more suitable for trucks, have less intense traffic and higher speed limits.

[@Antikyth]

Your English is perfectly understandable for everyone! I thought I'd provide some corrections though in case you find them helpful. "I m" should be "I'm". The word "i" is always capitalised (no idea why), so it should be "I" even in the middle of a sentence. "english" should be capitalised, as with all language and country names, so "English". "this 3 police man" should be "these 3 police men" - "these" is used for plurals, rather than "this". "Father" and "Son" should not be capitalised in the middle of a sentence, unless used in a religious sense (but it's common not to capitalise them then either I think, at least informally), so should be "father" and "son". "Ambulance" and "Guys" should also not be capitalised in the middle of sentence, so should be "ambulance" and "guys". "if my Son need help": "need" should be "needs" in this case. In English, most nouns are not capitalised, unlike in German. Some exceptions include names (e.g. "Dave"), country and language names "Germany", "English"), titles ("Mr.", "Mrs."), and days and months ("Monday", "Tuesday", "January", "February"), and place names ("Berlin"). There aren't that many other exceptions than those listed, so for the vast majority of words, they aren't capitalised like that.

Incredible. This had me so emotional, knowing this kid was so sick they needed a transfer from a hospital in Brussel, Belgium, to one of the world's best children's hospitals all the way in Paris, France. Probably too sick for airlifting with the cabin pressure. I nearly cried when they finally made it all the way through Paris to the hospital. Must have been a relief for everyone when they made it. The whole trip would have been nearly 4 hrs, I had to look it up, most likely less with changing police (Belgian & French) escorts all the way from beginning to end. Great job, everyone.

Not much consolation to the lady killed by the police rider and her family. I recall that Heather Mills-McCartney lost her leg following an accident involving London Police moto rider.

This is a video that is far more than just watching emergency vehicles speeding down the road. It shows cooperation between police and ambulance, country with country and humanity at its best. Whilst quite rightly no details of the patient are given, since the destination is a children's hospital and that the ambulance has had the need to travel from Belgium to Paris suggests that there is a very sick child in the back of the ambulance that requires specialist care possibly only available at the Necker Hospital. I found myself greatly moved and very appreciative of this most beautiful display of humanity and for the sake of the patient, wanting them to reach the hospital as quickly and as safely as possible. I hope that the incredible efforts of the police escort riders and ambulance crew was not in vain and that the patient was able to make a full recovery.

That cooperation between the motorbike Police and ambulance is simply awesome! This should be standard for every emergency ambulance ride. Greetings and best wishes to the patient from germany

Excellent travail de ces motards et des ambulanciers. Quand ils travaillent pour sauver des vies c'est remarquable. Ils connaissaient non seulement le trajet mais aussi l'hôpital qui est une ville. Très professionnel au service et non contre la population.

One of the best video I watched ever. Chapeau to the French police bikers with their whistles.

[@gandigooglegandigoogle7202]

the French bikers from the gendarmerie are absolutely incredible...they are tightrope walkers on their motorbikes, I wouldn't run away with them chasing me, they are too strong! and they are incredibly human in their behavior, they are quiet strength! I live in France today and I admire them a lot

[@solferuto4]

Except that this is not gendarmerie but police nationale

[@jimmerrithew453]

The motorcycle police officers are very skilled and brave riders.

[@irahoffman3867]

excellent job. Kudos to the joint effort of all involved to get a pediatric patient to the hospital

[@e.j.5575]

The level of cooperation in this response is outstanding: interagency, international and even largely between the motoring public/pedestrians is really quite impressive. As a paramedic with over 30 years in emergency services, I will say I am quite impressed! kudos to all those involved to get this patient to the care they needed in a safe and timely manner!

Felicitări polițiștilor francezi,au fost deosebiți, super profesioniști,

[@Cdr_Mansfield_Cumming]

2:22 When a police outrider is banging on your windscreen, you know you’ve messed up. This is a wonderful example of the police working hard for a desperately I’ll person. I have done a few escorts like this when a helicopter couldn’t do the job, it’s stressful and dangerous. They are not French escorting a Belgian. They are humanitarians escorting a fellow European who needs their help. Well done from a UK policeman.

[@GiovannyCubillos.2418]

Unos loquillos los policías en moto, fantástico su desempeño llevando a la ambulancia al hospital lo más rápido posible,la verdad son unos héroes anónimos y que bella es Paris ahun desde el punto de vista de una ambulancia, la vimos como muy pocas veces la podemos ver ❤❤❤❤❤

[@johnmyers7054]

RESPECT ...to these outriders , ,total commitment to get this patient safely to emergency care.. Biker all my life "68"..so i appreciate the danger of riding in heavy traffic , often through non attentive drivers doing many things other than paying attention to driving . Many times we bikers encounter situations " Sorry mate didnt see you "due to these inattentive drivers ... be mindful folks that these outriders are probably bikers out of uniform also. Instead of crowding bikers when one is stuck in traffic give them room as one day one may need a biker " outrider" to get one to hospital in a hurry ... RESPECT to these guys .....

terrific to see all working together for the common wellbeing of the patient. great team effort from all bikes to the ambo drivers. from Australia

[@velehksain7999]

Yes, the whole drive was awesome and well done from the Police and Ambulance drivers. But for me the most interesting thing was the elis-truck right at the end of the video. I work at a Universitätsklinikum in middle germany, and we see these trucks drive in and out multiple times every day. So seeing one in a parisian hospital immidiatly sparked my interest. And after that I even learnt, Elis is, in fact, a french company. The things you learn from a random youtube video ^^

[@jeanskookhoekje7607]

I am proud to say that I did not expect anything else from the ambulance, in this area we in #Belgium are ahead of many other countries! a big bravo for the #police and they are specialists in that! it's not easy to drive in #Paris. I've been there a lot and passed by in transit!
