METROPOLITAN POLICE VAUXHALL ASTRA RESPONDS TO AN INCIDENT.

[chpman2013]

sounds like a federal signal smart siren

[vsboy25]

great siren gay as fuck car.

[04smallmj]

@vsboy25 what's so gay about it?

[vsboy25]

@04smallmj the astra is a chicks car and NOT badass.

[04smallmj]

@vsboy25 It's more of a "unisex" car here, if such a thing exists LOL. It does it's job well here and that's all that matters really... The Evos and Imprezas used by Essex Police are epic though :P

[RickySouthwell]

where is this? it sounds like a canadian police car just a different shape

[Bluezn2z]

@RickySouthwell This is Euston Road turning right into Tavistock Square (one of the busiest junctions/my favourites!) :)

[04smallmj]

@RickySouthwell  London, UK

[HaggisMcMutton263]

I saw a little yellow UFO on the right lane.

[Addiskrilla]

That's something new

[MattySP34Ks]

astra diesel may i add

[TransportManor]

I have always had a love to this video - it's one of my favourites :)

[djessex25]

i love the phazzer siren !

[dinger3123]

nice vid not to over keen on the siren bring back good old two tones

[StapledNote]

@dinger3123

Some still have them..

[Azathespaz6666]

Nice vid!

[EliteCaptainGadget]

Definitely a Met IRV, BTP have battenburg liveries on their side, nice vid!

[silv1983]

in addition, BTP don't use silver cars. Even if some viewers can't recognise the Livery and Crest on the side.

[volunteer4community]

If you look at the side of the police car, it clearly says metropolitan Police with their logo.

British Transport police are national and not designated to one police service.

BTP also have their own logo ans they are their own police service.

[Bluezn2z]

Nope! its METPOL!

[SonicOverlordUK]

BTP have a single row of battenburgs on all of their vehicles or just an orange stripe with dark blue squares on the edges on older models. Besides, it even says in the blue box on the side on the side "Metropolitan Police: Working together for a safer London".

[P999FFB]

Watch the taxi driver in the right hand lane flash that yellow car because it slowed down incase the emergency vehicle needed to use its lane......impatient sod!!

[TheLewisJackson]

@P999FFB NO NO my mum's boyfriend is a taxi driver, they do that to let drivers in front know when the police don't need that lane... Cross Radios!

[apwh1]

I'd have to disaggree - these cars a small, fast, easy to manouver, reliable, and I think they look fine! Thats just my view however...

[apwh1]

Excellent video mate!

[bosco1013]

Fantastic! I got a very similar video in that same place at the weekend.

[firstscotrail412]

Does any1 Know what those first sirens are called ? or even where i could download them ?

[321loverdesirohater]

The first siren type is a "Pier" Siren

[internetprotected123]

good quality camera

[garyuk17]

Brill video dude!

[hartigan5232]

Just to let you know, thats not an area car...

[Bluezn2z]

What is it then?

[horsepeni5]

its an IRV... Incident Response Vehicle, basically a standard police vehicle. Hope it helps!

[copsarmy]

@Bluezn2z  Its a response vehicle area cars are BMW's usually

[mcjordi]

@Bluezn2z IRV... incident response vehicle ..

[scuderia2000]

Thats and incident response vehicle, area cars are either vectra or bmws

[ohno129]

@Bluezn2z its just a normal responce car

[POLICEINTERCEPTORS1]

@Bluezn2z An Incident Response Car

[cardforlife]

@Bluezn2z A lot of city forces now have these astras in replacement of the traditional 'panda' cars. The astra 'area' cars are normally the bigger more powerful model. The 'area' car is normally of a more powerful engine and driven by a higher standard of police driver. Surrey Police have a similar example using ford focus estates and ford mondeos (although they are not area cars in Surrey). Sorry to but in on this year old convo, but I like to stick my nose in. =]

[ococircusboy]

@Bluezn2z its not an area car - just an IRV - area cars are alot bigger as they contain an advanced driver used for pursuits

[dandoc2]

@Bluezn2z  Thats a response car - area car is usually like a bmw

[SonicOverlordUK]
