first mistake at 10:49 - no need to put people in danger on the junction to the right. Anyone turning left would be hit by you, there is also a pedstrian. second mistake at 14:40 , that's careless driving as there is no need to do it. Next one, 24:40, never force a motorist in to the path of other moving vehicles, that's dangerous driving and prison if you cause a death. Not bad, but you need to stay on your own side of the road when there is enough room and stop putting others in danger!!!
@urbex2007 3. driver turned siren off and didnt pressure car in any way, what do you expect him to do? car had plenty of time to turn right onto roundabout look again from 10:31. vehicle could easily have moved out of the way
@urbex2007 I would take issue with your criticisms. 1. No one put in danger at junction , No vehicles emerging intending to turn left no unseen vehicles approaching either otherwise pedestrian would not be casually walking across, driver kept to centre of road until past junction. 2. lawful for driver to use other side of island, there is no one in sight! safer to use opp side, than having to slow down and jink between island and white car at speed in a vehicle loaded with water
@urbex2007 driving on the other side of the island (or a median) is completly okay and normal.
And here it is also completly normal that cars standing at an intersection, have to move slowly over the red light into the intersection when an emergency vehicle approaches
@urbex2007 You clearly have no advanced level driver training. 10:49 - no one was put in danger. 14:40 not careless driving, it's planned and well executed as the safest route through. The requirements of a keep left sign do not apply to emergency vehicles. 24:40 - no one was forced to do anything, the driver was very restrained, not even using sirens and not advancing on the vehicle.
All of this would be entirely in keeping with my training to the highest level available in the UK
Abosolutly brill! The one nit pick is that the engine could be louder, as it feels like the engine is electric or something, which gives me the hebe-jebes
To Everyone Moaning about the times: This is a Blue Light Training run, there is no incident this is simply a training exercise for new blue light EFAD drivers! Simple As.
Nice video but what a route they took! Using Google Maps & Street View I worked out that this started at the Fire Station in St Paul's Road Chichester to Nyton Road - a distance of 5.9 miles and predicted driving time of 16 mins. They seem to have driven to Bognor Regis - headed out towards Littlehampton and finally headed back to their destination via Yapton and Barnham, distance of 14.7m and predicted journey of 34 mins! Obviously they could have been given the wrong destination originally
That was an absolutely brilliant video. Professional driving at its very best. and compliments to the few motorists who pulled over ,when they actualy saw the blue lights, rather than waiting until the sirens went on..Well done West Sussex Fire and rescue
@SackBratch When I had my house fire in 2008 it took them 15mins to travel 18 miles, you need to remember how far these things have to travel and they are still limited to 56MPH and need to take it slower around bends, there might have already been other units there so took little longer to be safe.
@MarkMck1994 New Fire Appliances are limited to 56mph when driving normally. When blue lights are activated the limiter turns off, 80mph is about the max speed you will be able to get up to not 100mph
The numpty @24:36 - unbelievable :/

@t1sutton " 3 cars drove past without stopping? "Braking distance would be the reason for it, let alone the blind bend.
If they did stop, they would only block the fire appliance. The fourth vehicle had time to stop.

@t1sutton I think, looking at it, is was a good decision for them not to stop, as the speed they were travelling/spacing would have caused a crash.
