Nah it's alright, guys in the Porsche and Mercedes, we have all the time in the world to sit behind you before the lights change.

Nice, great to see him turn the siren off to not force people to drive into pedestrians/traffic

@PoliceMadBen Why, RRV's are only sent to CAT A calls ie immediately life threatening. If it is safe to go through the lights why not force others through ? For every 1 min delay when someone is in cardiac arrest, your chances of survival drops by 10-13% ..... lets hope your family dont need a ambulance one day.

@sky9878 Have you ever been on a blue light run? it is dangerous to force people through red lights if they are going to be driving into fast flowing traffic thats why you turn off the sirens so as not to cause a further crash

[sky9878]

@sky9878 Yes ..... where is the fast moving traffic then ? Bet you still havent even got your licence yet at 17.

[PoliceMadBen]

@sky9878 I do not have a license no but I have been on many blue light runs as an observer, you cant say what was to the right of the video as it isnt shown

@sky9878 you're not allowed to cross a stop line when there's a red traffic light; there being a blue lighted vehicle behind you doesn't change that. whilst i appreciate your sentiment, you'd still be technically breaking the law, and might be caught by a red light camera

@sky9878 I hate to disagree but I had an RRV turn up to me cat C once
