Notice how many drivers don't look for the 2nd vehicle, make a move only to move out the way again.

[@mitchmitchell7470]

Emergency services in convoy are taught to be more cautious very dangerous for an accident

[@nigelleppard8457]

As a Blue light instructor it's the biggest problem when multi vehicle training. The smallest vehicle should go first and the second vehicle should be on different siren tones but drivers don't use mirrors. 😑

[@Bond2025]

Why would they? How many would look for a 3rd or 4th and would you specify a time in which they much appear? Use your common sense.

[@Westcountrynordic]

@@Bond2025 "Why would they?" because its said often that when reacting to emergency vehicles always check for other vehicles before resuming your journey

The ambulance should have moved out of their way sooner as it was slowing them down.

[@aquanick2001]

@@Bond2025don’t talk nonsense, slowing them down 😂 It’s not like after the Police took the lead they got miles ahead is it 😂

[@MedicGeorge]

Great response! Kudos for the crew and majority of the motorists.

Ah the A12 at the Green Man…always crazy busy there!

[@grahamdobson7428]

Excellent driving skills by met driver and ambulance driver..(as a retired fire pump driver. Thanks Excellent

[@iTzCorey]

Can't beat a convoy 👍

[@aquanick2001]

Technically that’s a tandem……three or more is a convoy. Trust me I know, I’m a trucker 😂

[@iTzCorey]

@@aquanick2001 Your probably right technically lol but whenever there is 2 or more emergency vehicles it’s often referred to as a convoy especially by police or at least that’s what my local force refers to it as, either way it’s rare to get a inside view like this of two or more responding, glad I came across him.

[@aquanick2001]

Great driving thanks

Great Video! 🔥

[@loyalsupportisthebestever]

Thank you for your service and the amazing care you provide. x

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

prime example why we have a mandatory emergency vehicle corridor in case of traffic jams on motorways in Germany Did you guys transport a patient, or why did you let the police van overtake you?

[@TS112Video]

Indeed. It was an airport transfer with a Dr, the Dr needed to return to the airport for another emergency transfer. My colleague let the police van overtake, because we didn't have a patient on board and they looked like they needed to get somewhere quicker than us.

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

@@TS112Video Ah I see thank you, appreciate it

[@aquanick2001]

@@TS112Videosomeone said in another comment that you were holding the Police up. Certainly doesn’t seem to be the case as you kept up with them.

[@stephencox1955]

Excellent stuff,nice use of the police van to act as a bulldozer,really surprised they went separate ways,our finest at its best 🥰

[@Bond2025]

5:50 drivers need to remember the only time they can cross a red light that is operating correctly is if a police constable in uniform stands in the road and takes over directing traffic. Special Escort Groups do this. If they direct you over a red light and you get a ticket, it gets cancelled, but not if you thought there was an emergency vehicle trying to get past! At no other point can you cross it, even if someone is behind you with a siren blaring and lights flashing. They have to wait unfortunately. It is for them to find a way around you, not for you to break the Law and possibly injure or kill someone else. If you do cross a red light you can get a fine and points, especially from a camera. If you run someone over or hit another vehicle and/or cause injuries/damage or cause others to have a collision - you WILL be prosecuted. An emergency vehicle behind you is no defence in Law, it is only used as an excuse to try and lower any sentence you get. You can not be prosecuted for obeying a traffic signal such as a red light. You will not be prosecuted for obstruction either as it would cause further more serious offences in this context. There is also NO requirement in Law to damage your vehicle and you certainly should NOT be mounting pavements, this is a further offence you can be prosecuted for. Poor road design or lack of consultation between Councils and Emergency Services is NOT the problem of the drivers using those roads.

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

very different from the legal situation over here in Germany: here you're supposed to clear the path - no word on how exactly you have to do that. It's expected to do whatever is needed and makes most sense in the specific situation. At traffic lights this can mean that you're not only allowed, but actually supposed to drive across the stopping line and through the red light, slowly proceeding into the intersection without endangering others

[@darren25061965]

Emergency services WILL NOT push you over a stop line, they silence their sirens and wait until it is safe for you to clear. They will also happily sit behind you, particularly in rural areas, until YOU can move over safely, where it is "safe for them" to pass you.

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

@@darren25061965 got to say: probably only in the UK they won't push you and rather switch the sirens off instead; Here it's rather the exact opposite

[@miljkovicsrb]

Awesome!

[@petertwinn786]

Lane splitting works wonderfully. Here in Australia they would just sit there trying to force everyone into lane 1, which obviously does not work.

[@Abdul.M.]

That's awesome Amount Traffic A12 towards Leytonstone via Redbridge

[@061zgz]

Great!

[@nigelbarber3300]

Was that the A12 through Leytonstone?

[@Raze968]

Thank you for you Service! Keep up the good Content!❤🙏

[@Keithbarber]

It is the A12 as described

[@DCC--vq1ng]

Why do I find Whelen siren of ambulance sound quite soothing?

[@Simon-bg3st]

First impression? Ambulance driver worried about double solid lines in the tunnel approach (they cut the siren). There's no oncoming traffic, as it's a dual carriageway, so no risk. Police driver more effective. This isn't a criticism, just an observation.

[@robnewman6101]

[@aviationwales3021]

Is it not better to use a different siren tone to the lead vehicle so to make it a bit clearer 2 vehicles not just one, using same siren just blends in together

[@ThomasFromHome]

This how it usually works for convoys. Different tones, more awareness.

[@Lancashire999]

If the police were in front the whole time, the ambulance being bright yellow would have also been noticed

[@nathank6186]

I’ve got a question. How are ridealong like this arranged. Great video btw 😁

What’s the policy on uploading these? have to be careful uploading runs as most trusts now forbids.

So annoying wen drivers won’t move for all emergency vehicles

[@OldLordSpeedy]

The Federal Republic of Germany System "Right go far right, all left go left side to make a line in the middle next to right" [translated into English side change] works fine in the auK, little bit better as here in Germany on a traffic jam. 😂

[@stevenhall4747]

People hearing the sirens and not looking in there mirrors

[@simonchurch.]

Good to see the police doing some actual work that helps the public for a change..

[@user-ge6dy1ru6x]

Why do you need a doffee cup in front obscuring your vision when on blue lights??

[@mstevens113]

The driver is taller than 4ft so it's not in the eyeline!

Amazing how many people do not look in their mirrors after the police van goes past
