Blue light response drive in London

[urbex2007]

HUGE MISTAKE at 1:30 - you shouldn't be instructing people to force other motorists across a red traffic light or across a red light in to the path of oncoming traffic. I have seen many police officers prosecuted for this, for dangerous driving. Please follow the *CORRECT* procedure and do not put the life of other road users or pedestrians at risk. Being a police officer using blue lights does not give a driver immunity from prosecution or being suspended. No way you're an Instructor...!

@urbex2007 "Good, nice holding back, not putting them under pressure" How is that forcing others through the red light? Maybe the driver could have turned the siren off to calm it even further but he wasnt forcing them through!

@BlueLightVids I do not disagree with your comments. Remember this is training and at the end of his performance he will have received feedback. As a trainer I have to dynamically risk assess the ever changing road, weather and traffic environment to allow individuals to learn from their mistakes. I can assure you that I am aware of the legislation in relation to all the aspects you mention, and can also assure you that no other road users had their lives put at risk through this journey.

@steveprice30 @urbex2007 that is for you

Looks like a very challenging drive, don't think I'd want to do that even with lights and sirens.

Don't really know London bout 6:10 there looks like there are some buildings which are out of place in contrast to the tall office blocks.

simlar sirens to what we use in n.yorks :)

[steveprice30]

@ferryjammy Thanks for the comments. Yes Steve passed (with flying colours)

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

[BlueLightVids]

@112EPortugal You cant force people through red lights in the UK so if they don't move you have to wait

[steveprice30]

@112EPortugal As BlueLightVids stated "if there is no room for people to move out your way" what is the point of keeping your sirens on. Highway code states that other road users when confronted with emergency vehicles must comply with all traffic signs and not mount the kerb.

@steveprice30 thank you for information 

[Cyrussm]

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