Blue light response drive in London

[@bojimbo26]

Nice view of the dashboard .

[@RandyDarkshade2]

Nice dashboard.

[@Tigger137]

That familiar reassuring voice that got me through my advanced,

[@patgeorge1]

Great vid and a great insight.

[@kennethdavis7775]

Pity the camera is so low. It's hard to see where they are going?

[@kisharsenal]

"Cancel the sirens, mate, they're doing their best" :)

[@JordanNichollsYouTube]

the different noises travel further or shorter distances, along a straight you want people to hear you coming, but if you're going through a hazard, like a set of lights, you want everyone nearby to hear so the get out of your way

[@mlps93]

nice premier hazard siren, but the speaker makes it sound really high pitch

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

wow - here it's the other way around: if it isn't possible to move in another lane or closer to the curb, motorists over here are supposed to mount the curb or more through the red traffic lights into the intersection (but not krossing it) - works pretty well here. Can't remember a single accident caused by that

[@seajonesify]

@112EPortugal When driving in emergency conditions, you have to ensure that your driving doesn't encourage other road users to do unsafe things. If you queue at lights with the tones on, that encourages the road users in front of you to either mount the kerb, which they shouldn't, or even to cross the stop line, which could place them in danger.

brill video hope steve passed and excelant driving skils simlar sirens to what we use in n.yorks :)

[@mortgagewizard40]

thats a bloody good video..when i did my blue light training for the military police, the phrase that sums it all up "proceed with caution"..and i dont know if it still applies these days..but red lights can be treated as give way junctions,...i would just like ot add ,i wonder if that bloke in the white vehicle at 9.30 shite himself, seeing a police car weaving its way through with blues and twos lol, then pulling in behind him and cancelling ..again compliments on a good video..

[@stephenfell9817]

if that's the driver's view no wonder they don't catch anyone they are too short

[@bosco1013]

@BlueLightVids It's in the description mate.

[@wazzashoeboi]

would ov been better if we could see over the dash board :)

[@grooverheliboy]

Sorry but I also live in London born and bred and this siren is the most used by emergency vehicles here !!

[@mortgagewizard40]

thats a good video my friend,,,i am wondering if this emergency run itself has appeared on here being filmed from the road side.lol

[@annechilvers7826]

Riveting stuff, very interesting !

[@steveprice30]

+Anne Chilvers Thanks Anne. Just a little busier in London than here!!

[@annechilvers7826]

You're welcome Steve :o) I don't suppose you have any clips of the same in rainy weather ? ;o) Certainly quieter here, but what vehicles we do see are larger !!

[@sabertoothgaming8988]

lol wtf is that guy in front of them doing at 9:35, putting 2 hands out the window XD

[@stealth1692]

Saber ToothGaming taking a picture of the horses

[@Tigger137]

You are missing something, London its the most challenging environment, with the most hazards. If you can cope with that, you can cope with anything. Police advanced driving is an incredibly difficult standard to reach, the London run is one day in a 4 week course.

[@cyrussm193]

Amazing video, do you know what siren model is that?

[@alexgilmour421]

Cyrus Soltani Manjaterra premier hazard 7009 with a very high pitch from the speaker..

[@TheAlllseeeingFish]

Excellent instruction and drive, nice video! BTP car?

[@steveprice30]

+Fred Wright Hi Fred thanks for your comment. It was a Cambs Home Office Volvo V70 T6. They now use BMW 530.

[@TheAlllseeeingFish]

Steven Price Thanks.

[@MrDigger43]

really good drive i think Dorset needs to understand turning the noise off when theres no where to go last monday i sat at a seat of lights car in front lorry to my near side this police guy was screaming get out the f...king way cant you see me lol really i'm a trained driver as in standard advanced close protection blablabla i said to the wife really is he really saying that lol

[@djrootmusic]

At 7:38... is that the STIG waiting to cross the street?

[@inkstersco]

Policemen behind me sometimes put the sirens on but I ever move out the way, largely becuase i'd have to speed in order to do so.

[@IAmUrMum]

Out of interest, why do they change the siren sound occasionally when going along straight etc?

[@JMF12]

siren sound like a dolphin.....

[@112EPortugal]

nice video man, one question, why you turn off the siren and stop in red lights ?

[@stevenkiel6452]

Because the traffic in front had nowhere to go and they do not have to cross the stop line at traffic lights, in London especially they have cameras which will issue a fixed penalty costing £60 for doing so.

[@112EPortugal]

@steveprice30 thank you for information

[@trojen1100]

the seats must had a puncture

[@djrootmusic]

I prefer a siren with a lower pitch, but the point IS for it to be as annoying as possible, to get people's attention.

[@healey100austin]

one question,i have ofter noticed the horn 'toot' is it to activate/deac a siren or wailer or am i completely wrong on this?

[@husnainmirza1550]

That's correct

[@healey100austin]

Thanks.

[@HarryHazz]

What vehicle is being driven here?

[@alexgilmour421]

HarryHazz a Cambridge police Volvo v60

[@stevenkiel6452]

@@alexgilmour421 V70 T6, the driver actually said this in comments above

[@cyrussm193]

@steveprice30 Thanks :)

[@eileenmcloughlin3406]

That’s In london

[@NathansTransportCommuntiy]

Yes…

[@darrencred]

i don't drive, but even i know where park lane is

[@PacMany7]

I Live in London and this siren is totally different to the sirens we hear every day in the capital. No disrespect intended, but it can be confusing as a driver when we hear a siren that we are not use to on our own doorstep! If you have to train drivers in London please use a siren that we Londoners are use to! I pay £500 Tax a month and a decent siren cost less then £350. Don't leave safety to chance!

[@jamienorman2622]

PacMany7 lol this siren has been used in London for quite a while.

[@SgtRosier]

I like this siren

[@Mattylad36]

@BlueLightVids If you read the comments you'd find out mate, lol.

[@LegoMental]

You probably have the noisiest job I know of. Lol

[@PacMany7]

why on earth are you/they training Cambridgeshire police to drive in London? Am I missing something? Good Video and great driving, but what are you doing here? why are you in London? my tax money does not pay for this surely?
