Sadly, he isn't me but if he'd studied at Medical school instead of not volunteering At St john ambulance he could at least be like me. Look down, Back up. Where are you? your in a traffic accident with the man you wish was me. What's in your hand? Back at me. It's a First aid kit. Look at again the Kit is now morphine. Anything is possible when your a doctor. I''m on an ambulance.
if people would actually watch the clip properly, The reason the ambulance is driving slowly is because they cant locate the exact whereabouts of the casualty. And these guys are out there to save lives. Why is there so many idiots making stupid comments on the way they drive, after all its for a good cause! and they receive proffesional training!
@TheFullgeneral They are not "slow", the driver of the ambulance was driving as fast and as carefully as appropriate, and an excellent job he did too!
@TheFullgeneral The reason they're driving slow is because the exact location of the casualty hasn't yet been located! I've seen these Merc ambos and they have plenty of power!
This comment aplies very well for MedicAmbo5000. " It's better to keep one's mouth shut and let people think you are a idiot, than to open it, and remove all doubt!"
@bobtul. It is a legal requirement to get owt of the way. No matter where u are. There emergency vehcls 4 a reason. And in nz. We kan not go on the other side of the road to get past. It may cause a acident. Only police can use the otha road side. And our run is calld a priority 1 - red light
I dont know how the situation in your country is, but in Germany the car records when the lights/sirene are used. Drivers would get into bad trouble then.
it pisses me off that a vehicle or the use of public transport is becoming essential to having a career in this country. Public transport is crampped and sheer bordom and the same goes for cars. its so nice being able to find a job within walking distance to ur home but for most people that is usually not possible. I think we should be encouraging people away form cars and public transport and more cycling and walking and living closer to work to eliminate journeys.
@TheCorbuzier yeah, the american's over use the siren and its just ridculos, in NZ, im with St John, we only use the siren when driving down busy roads, approaching intersections, or approaching behins a car
@MedicAmbo5000 ANY emergency vehicle may under its authority use any part of the roadway deemed necessary as long as that action does not constitute an immediate danger to any another person. Only POLICE may drive on the other side of the road? I think you should consult with the New Zealand Fire Service and Police before making stupid comments. Also it is NOT a legal requirement to get out of the way for an emergency vehicle. You are obliged to give way or stop for the vehicle.
@MedicAmbo5000 Have you thought what other road users feel when they are in an intersection and you suddenly descend upon them without warning, siren screaming and air horn blaring? Try using the siren more often and you may find people are more prepared to take evasive action prior to you appearing suddenly and trying to force yourself through traffic.
@Silverfoxwolfen Those drivers chose to drive through the red light. If they had read their highway code they'd know that they are not required to jump red lights for emergency vehicles.
But why, they're turning thier sirens of...during the emrgency run??...In Poland we're using both the lights and the sirens, it al about our own safety
@FLHKSBonYT There could be a whole set of reasons. For example they might be needed, but not right this urgent second. Or there might be a paramedic on scene and this ambulance will be just transport when the patient is ready to be moved. There's no point driving at higher speed and risking an accident unless it's completely necessary.
@FLHKSBonYT They arent so f##cking slow....they are driving down probably the busiest road in london with hundreds of pedestrians on the pavements and lots of vehicles and bikes on the road. when driving on blue lights u drive as fast as is safely possible. The driver could go a lot faster than they are going but the other drivers can be so erratic and unpredictable that they would crash within 5 minutes, and then they will never get to the patient!!
Of course people move out of the way for emergency vehicles.no law in this country to force any vehicle to make way for emergency vehicles.its called courtesy. All emergency vehicle drivers are told to treat red traffic lights as give way junctions. remember once emergency vehicle drivers go driving on the wrong side of a traffic island they are soley responsible,no law will protect them if they have an accident, Thats why they try to stay on the correct side of the road at all times..
In the future the government are looking to work with the department for transport to adapt the gps on all emergency vehicles so's when they are assigned to a blue light call as they approach a set of traffic lights a computer automatically sets there direction of travel to green (and all others to red obviously) from a central base. This would be intertwined with the satelite navigation on board and all drivers are expected to use the route provided. Traffic updates are monitored at despatch st
@Chocholousek1 From engine note I believe this is the older V8 Petrol Ambulance. They had a 4 Litre Rover V8 Engine as fitted to the V8 Land Rover Discovery. I think they are about 165 bhp but the more important figure is Torque to drive the auto box. They wouldn't win a drag race but I heard from a mate that the Ambulance weighs about 4 tonnes fully kitted with crew, so they don't do too bad. most of the later ambulances are Mercedes Sprinter Diesel with a big square box body.
god the gear ratio on those truck are crappy, but that engine sounds great, cant wait to hear those sirens when i move there!! Hate the ambulance here in the US.
Humm don't know what your laws over there are but Over here in the US if this ambulance was going we would have to pull over no matter what. I was watching people just staying in the road not even caring. However I did notice that its also seems a little tight in spots. However I think you guys have cool stuff compared to the US.
I'm a paramedic for EMSA in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It's the ambulance service that responded to the bombing in Oklahoma City. My daughter is marrying a guy who lives in Dawlish and I would love to third ride wit the LAS when I come over for the wedding.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Seems like a very ... poor driver in terms of safety .... busy streets, going through lights ... but very little use of the siren? I wouldn't want to be in the back OR the front with him.
@Falconfan1992 In the US... this guy could have easily been fired. Especially after pulling up to a red light and forcing cars out into the intersection (If you come up to a red light and are stuck behind a wall of cars... too bad! turn off your siren and don't cause another accident!)
Thats the law in the UK. When you see any type of Emergency vehicle you have to move over for them to proceed to their destination, that also includes Police, Fire Fighters, Doctors Cab etc. Even when at a traffic light they had to move over and others from the opposite junctions have to be aware of the passing Emergency vehicle.
@sky9878 A flashing green light on a Drs vehicle carries the same priveleges as a blue light, other road users should treat them with the same courtesy as a vehicle with blue lights and move out of the way and allow them to pass safely and quickly.
@mortgagewizard40 No it doesn't. Doctors do not have any exemptions to exceed the speed limit, treat red lights as give way signs, offside a bollard etc. Green lights = courtesy only , if you obstruct a vehicle on blue lights its an offence obstruction of emergency workers act.
@Falconfan1992 UK emergency drivers are actually very good concerning driving fast and safe; also in other european countries we go over red traffic lights with hardly slowing down
You are a very special idiot. In the USA nobody cares when hear sirens because they use them all the time - even when it isn't necessary. Here in Europe, as you can see, people give them the way. The standard travel time of emergency wehicles is 3 minutes. - The USA can't even dream about that short time!
Your right - because you have been in every city in the united states and know all the averages for every city/service right? You my friend are a very special kind of idiot. Where I live the average time from call received, to on scene is 5-6 minutes in a busy metropolitan city. Maybe you need to go sip some more spiked tea or whatever you guys do there in London.
As I said... 3 minutes are less than 5-6. -Simple maths. To answer your question: I lived in the USA for 2 years, so I've got an individual insight. I wouldn't impute that to the US-Drivers without a reason. I've seen it!
(And I'm not from London... you know Europe has more than a few cities...)
@akileeze it is driver protocol for any emergency vehicles driver to sound sirens and omit flashing lights when presented with a junction displaying a red light this gives less chance of there being a collision. What you see the driver doing in this video is following protocol.
I´m a medical doctor volunteer ambulance in the city of Mexico, and the way we operate is that there comes a police vehicle to confirm the service, time is lost but still people are not properly apply the culture of emergency medical services. Although we have access to GPS technology, we are using the maps because it is easier. I send a cordial greeting
Put it through google and this turns up: Taiwan's road not so good Taiwan's road is not so straight Taiwan does not have much room The people of Taiwan are not so high quality Casual examination of Taiwan's driver's license too casually Ghost Island say that Mr. Shaw Taiwan
Was not impressed by the driver trying to force his way through red lights by using his sirens. When the driver is unable to get through red lights due to obstructions, he should keep his blue lights on and turn sirens off. The car drivers can panic and be forced to go over the white line on a red light causing an accident. Which in this case happened, one car goes over the red light while the other mounts the pavement..
it is not a legal requirement to get out of the way, that driver pushed cars through red lights, if there were a crash the red light jumper would be at fault,, in the UK using sirens is asking for the road not demanding it, its up to the Ambulancs driver to get around the traffic,
@Thirdwatchandgta actually its not in the uk emergency vehicles do not have any more right to the road then any other motorist i agree completely with you and forcing other motorists out of the way and into danger is completely unacceptable and they fully deserve any punishment they get. its certainly not the way i was trained!!
@jonjon18123 Emergency Vehicles do have more rights though. They are exempt from Road Traffic Laws and Regulations if it aids their work. For example, going through red lights and using the offside of the carriageway. drivers are also trained to 'dominate the road' in order to make good *yet safe* progress.
@CFHpantera Once I seen your comment the first thought that came into my head was "That's definitely an American making that comment" how right I was lol
I'll tell you what ambulance will haul ass to your doorstep if you have a serious emergency... German Ambulances and Polish Ambulances... they typically have the fastest response time and if your in the way you better MOVE
As far as having a hard time finding addresses and such, they do a terrific job "parting the sea" and responding at a reasonable time. My hats off to you guys. Keep up the good work, no matter what anyone tells you =D
@Macinabit Its an old ambulance, (wikipedia LDV Convoy) they hardly use them anymore, mostly as temporary replacements, the Mercedes Sprinters/VW Crafters are so much better, comfort and performance.......and efficiency even better (2.5 5cyl diesels compared to the LDV which had a 3.9 V8)
@starcraftguy1 ...strange, because my ambulance service outfits every single one of its units with a garmin gps, a dispatch computer and a panasonic touchbook for e-pcrs.
@starcraftguy1 Do not talk unless you know what you are talking about. Our ambulances are fully equipped with computers. Dispatch has a live view of where we are, how fast we are traveling, plus much much more. We get a call, it pops up on our computer screen in the ambulance. It automatically routes us and gives us all the information you could think of. Our GPS is built in with our dispatch software. So please... please do not comment unless you know 100% sure that your statement is true!
@ImRatherTall : You're right, In this clip it's the LDV, you can see the rather crappy ex British Leyland dashboard and outdated switchgear at the start. The Mercedes have a single grey "Premier hazard" control box which governs the emergency signals (on the attendant side) and quite a nice sequential semi auto box where the stick is mounted quite high on the dash next to the driver. Sorry if I misread your question.
Good on the Saab for clearing the red light......I'm sure driver checked it was safe to do so. Where I work, if you are behind vehicles who have nowhere to go we turn off the sirens until it is safe to pass. That way we don't spook the public into doing something daft.......which they have been known to do.
@D1MCV Even though the Saab cleared the red light, unfortunately its still illegal here to go through a red light if an emergency vehicle is approaching, you have nowhere to go and its safe to go through. People have actually been prosecuted for it here, despite the fact that the time saved on the journey might save someone's life. Its really daft.
@weeneldo well its up to the individual driver to ensure that it is safe to continue and not endanger himself or other road-users. No Emergency vehicle can force a roaduser to run the lights!
This is irrelevant to the video but is it just me or did anyone else notice the 10000000000 BMW wagons populating the streets, god there was a beamer in every corner, light, stop, parking space, Its like toyotas here in the US......anyway great video, looks really cool.
England is allowed by the rules of the road, turn on and off the sirens at intersections? In Italy is not allowed, then many drivers do it anyway, but the law does not permit.
@Miluca73 - they are still driving under emergency conditions (flashing lights are on) but have the discretion to use - or not use - their sirens as they see fit. I've been a paramedic for 12 years and these guys display some very safe driving habits.
Hello casualties.
Look at your bystander, now back to me. Now back at your bystander, now back to me. Sadly, he isn't me but if he'd studied at Medical school instead of not volunteering At St john ambulance he could at least be like me. Look down, Back up.

這讓我想起王牌天神第一集裡的一個橋段,如過能整齊劃一的閃邊,讓救護車直直走,那是最好的方式了,但畢竟只是電影特效.不過Refauth說得很對,我認為不能一直持否定的心態,那樣就跟輸在起跑點前一樣.記得以前上起重機課程的老師說過,台灣人的通病有二:
1.認命:算了就這樣吧,計較那麼多有什麼用(這也算是台灣人情味重下的代價)
2.健忘:過去的就過去了,沒多久還是一樣的狀況.
習慣可以養成,但習慣要看個人的毅力跟原則的把持,否則得過且過的心態,只是遲滯不前.

影片中
前方車輛聽到後方救護車鳴笛
大家會減速 並向兩邊靠 而且停下來
台灣人當然會讓路 但許多人的做法是:
1.有讓 但邊讓邊開 不會停下來 也許是怕後面塞車
2.想說開快一點 也能達到讓的效果
3.隔壁車道有救護車 不關我目前行駛車道的事 救護車自己會走好走的那一條
主要還是宣導不足吧 我想

台灣人多數會讓路沒錯
但在塞車或停紅燈的情況下
多半不會主動往兩邊靠
而是急著往前開

我聽到救護車聲音會讓路

Was not impressed by the driver trying to force his way through red lights by using his sirens. When the driver is unable to get through red lights due to obstructions, he should keep his blue lights on and turn sirens off. The car drivers can panic and be forced to go over the white line on a red light causing an accident. Which in this case happened, one car goes over the red light while the other mounts the pavement..

In the Netherlands, if the driver switches of the siren, then it is no "priority 1" vehicle.

@awesomedudemee forgot to add that it is required by law to get out of the way for all emergency vehicles - ambulences, firetrucks, police cars etc.
awesomedudemee 7 months ago
it is not a legal requirement to get out of the way, that driver pushed cars through red lights, if there were a crash the red light jumper would be at fault,, in the UK using sirens is asking for the road not demanding it, its up to the Ambulancs driver to get around the traffic,

@Thirdwatchandgta actually its not in the uk emergency vehicles do not have any more right to the road then any other motorist i agree completely with you and forcing other motorists out of the way and into danger is completely unacceptable and they fully deserve any punishment they get. its certainly not the way i was trained!!
jonjon18123 3 months ago
@jonjon18123 Emergency Vehicles do have more rights though. They are exempt from Road Traffic Laws and Regulations if it aids their work. For example, going through red lights and using the offside of the carriageway. drivers are also trained to 'dominate the road' in order to make good *yet safe* progress.

@Macinabit Its an old ambulance, (wikipedia LDV Convoy) they hardly use them anymore, mostly as temporary replacements, the Mercedes Sprinters/VW Crafters are so much better, comfort and performance.......and efficiency even better (2.5 5cyl diesels compared to the LDV which had a 3.9 V8)

@starcraftguy1 Do not talk unless you know what you are talking about. Our ambulances are fully equipped with computers. Dispatch has a live view of where we are, how fast we are traveling, plus much much more. We get a call, it pops up on our computer screen in the ambulance. It automatically routes us and gives us all the information you could think of. Our GPS is built in with our dispatch software. So please... please do not comment unless you know 100% sure that your statement is true!

Thanks anyway!
ImRatherTall 1 year ago
@ImRatherTall : You're right, In this clip it's the LDV, you can see the rather crappy ex British Leyland dashboard and outdated switchgear at the start. The Mercedes have a single grey "Premier hazard" control box which governs the emergency signals (on the attendant side) and quite a nice sequential semi auto box where the stick is mounted quite high on the dash next to the driver. Sorry if I misread your question.

Good on the Saab for clearing the red light......I'm sure driver checked it was safe to do so. Where I work, if you are behind vehicles who have nowhere to go we turn off the sirens until it is safe to pass. That way we don't spook the public into doing something daft.......which they have been known to do.
D1MCV 1 year ago
@D1MCV Even though the Saab cleared the red light, unfortunately its still illegal here to go through a red light if an emergency vehicle is approaching, you have nowhere to go and its safe to go through. People have actually been prosecuted for it here, despite the fact that the time saved on the journey might save someone's life. Its really daft.

England is allowed by the rules of the road, turn on and off the sirens at intersections? In Italy is not allowed, then many drivers do it anyway, but the law does not permit.

@Miluca73 - they are still driving under emergency conditions (flashing lights are on) but have the discretion to use - or not use - their sirens as they see fit. I've been a paramedic for 12 years and these guys display some very safe driving habits.
