blue light run maidenhead to colnbrook unmarked emergency vehicle

[rockobellie10]

its a job that got to be done at the time of a call

[MonkeyxBoyXx]

OMG!! That van on the motorway!! Can people not see flashing lights in their mirrors :S

[K9explo459]

@MonkeyxBoyXx I sometimes think there are a lot of drivers who dont know what a rear view mirror is for......... despite the clue in the name lol!

[MonkeyxBoyXx]

@K9explo459 Hahahahaha!! Yeah that is probably true, they really need to learn though! That was just ridiculous!

[K9explo459]

@MonkeyxBoyXx have you seen this one? /A7xDKqKazZ8 towards the end there is a speck in the distance at about 08:43 if he looked in his mirror he couldnt fail to see me. It takes me about 15 seconds to catch him up and as we both come off at the same junction he still managed to move across in front of me. it was a much closer call than the wide angle lens suggests!

[K9explo459]

@MonkeyxBoyXx sorry cocked up address, if you look on my channel its the one from 17th december 2011.

[MonkeyxBoyXx]

@K9explo459 I will have a look at it mate :-)

[MonkeyxBoyXx]

@K9explo459 OMG!!! That is stupid! He pulls in front of you... How can you not be seen??? Some people need their heads banging against their mirrors!! Oh my days!! :-)

[K9explo459]

@MonkeyxBoyXx I gave him 'the stare' as I went past and he seemed surprised! obviously completely oblivious!

[MonkeyxBoyXx]

@K9explo459 Haha, 'the stare'... That would make anyone feel guilt lol ;-) I was just wondering, with that van on the motorway, what is stopping you from undertaking him or just going to the hard-shoulder??? :-)

[K9explo459]

@MonkeyxBoyXx In my opinion the traffic was too heavy to risk undertaking, trouble is if you do that when someone hasnt seen you, there is a danger they will do something stupid after all if they are paying that little attention they are prob crap driver and likely to cause a collision. Would only use hard shoulder if traffic on carriageway stationary, broken down vehicle on shoulder and youre in trouble if veh's are moving at speed on carriageway. :-)

[MonkeyxBoyXx]

@K9explo459 Yeah that is probably true, Cool... Thank you for replying anyway :-)

[traintimmy]

6:08 - Is that a tree on top of the Anglian Van?

[K9explo459]

@traintimmy I think it is lol! dont know how I missed that at the time

[soxix838]

Thanks for responding. Fascinating... so the vehicle is TVP owned is it or are you outsourced? I wouldn't expect an unmarked transit to fly past but now it does make sense... very unusual ... so this is an education. Presume you are a handler? I'd love to know more but perhaps one day our paths may cross!

[K9explo459]

@soxix838 That's ok, yes vehicle owned by the Police and am employed by the Police Authority.You wouldn't be alone in not expecting to be passed by an unmarked van. Mind you it is a diesel so i think 'fly' by may be a little ambitious, perhaps 'sedate overtake' might be a better description lol!

[soxix838]

unmarked transit van? cant think who you might be working for? can you give me a clue?:-)

[04wheelerd]

Another great run. Good progression. I hate vans... Keep em' coming!

[K9explo459]

@04wheelerd I hate vans too...... and I am driving one!
