Cool job.

[jukio02]

i went to rome italy almost a year ago, when ever there is an ambulance, NO BODY moved, it was so sad, no one gave a shit.

@Rofocowboy84 Codes are clearer and faster.

10 39 = lights and siren,  is "Ten Code", from where "10 4" (OK or acknowledged) comes.

10 8 = in service, responding. 10 23 = on scene, 10 9 = repeat message, 10 7 out of service, 10 20 = location.

Codes allow a little more privacy while being succinct.

Some hospital ambulances Code 10 = lights/siren Same as well known "Code 3" Code 9 = urgent, no lights/siren Same as Code 2

Yes, one must know their particular department's codes if used.

Who was speaking and what was being said?

Through our P.A. I ASK, not order: "Can you please move right." "Can you please move forward?" etc.

If you order, and they have a mishap, they can sue you for their dumb move.

Also I say. "Thank you".

When everyone has cleared, or when all are aware of the emergency vehicle, I instantly silence the siren by pressing the PA microphone button.

@robertgift

Except you don't drive an emergency vehicle, you drive a blood delivery car.....

[accountsgamuffo]

EVRYBODY IN THE SHELTERS!!! NUCLEAR BOMBING AHEAD!!

[Evilnils]

[swtgal125]

i like how all the cars turned their cars to the side and made way in the middle for the ambulance to pass through.

[underated27]

[2day345]

[bum291]

@charlieiscool1000 In japan, they are very polite and say thank you for your cooperation all the time :)

[Rofocowboy84]

@charlieiscool1000

The sad part is, sometimes that's what works the best. My partner and I used to do it all of the time, if they weren't pulling over for the siren, we'd yell at them on the PA, lol....

[robertgift]

@Rofocowboy84 Yelling may further panic a driver who may already be upset or confused.

We speak clearly and calmly, trying to help them. (I learned Spanish phrases for all the Mexican drivers who have no idea what to do.)

The organ/bloodelivery car (Expedition) also performs emergentransports.

I used the P.A. the same way when driving ambulances and fire apparatus.

[Rofocowboy84]

@robertgift

Well, if they got the fuck out of the way, they wouldn't be upset or confused. I've never had a problem after yelling on the PA, they always do exactly what we say. It's the people who just hear the siren that do stupid shit....

[robertgift]

@Rofocowboy84 Too often they hear the siren too late.

Many drivers, especially women, are afraid to change lanes right fearing another vehicle may be there or approaching. When they can move and/or figure out what to do, you are already on top of them.

I position the EV left in the lane so left flashing headlight is seen in the left rearview mirror.

BOTH speakers, one above other on the LEFT, makes siren heard earlier.

Good EV lane positioning and coordinated lights is an improvement.

[Rofocowboy84]

@robertgift

Yes, I know how to drive Code....

[robertgift]

@Rofocowboy84 You mean "Code 3" "Emergent" "Code 10" "10-39" ?

Not if you are yelling expletives at drivers.

When you YELL into the microphone, it may oversaturate and distort to where they cannot understand.

[Rofocowboy84]

@robertgift

I'm sorry, we don't use 10 codes, we use plain speak here....you should try it some time....what a 10-39 is to you could be something completely different to someone else....

カッコイイサイレン

[LIBERST]

東京のトラフィクスは大変だなぁ～

[mercer83]

Sounds like an air-raid siren.

[Niborius]

yeah

[BwoodLegionAmb12]

@mercer83 it does :P

[gronko86]

love that siren!

[brewdog11]

I love that siren! Japanese ambulances are very cool.

[CDPDPatrolUnit]

As matter the fact, the standard ambulance siren in Japan is hi-lo. This is the siren for the police and firetrucks.

[AndrooUK]

It's unusual to hear an emergency vehicle with a loudhailer... what is the man saying?

[Whelen3016]

Probably "get the fuck out of our way!" :)

[ForeverVoyager]

At 0:16-0:17 he repeats 右に曲がります ("migi ni magarimasu") - "turning right." Usually these vehicles have prerecorded female voices, but the crew can also use it to shout through traffic...
