Welcome, today we join officers of a specialized motorcycle traffic team in The Hague, The Netherlands. The control room has asked them to perform an escort for an ambulance. The ambulance is transporting a victim with a medical emergency and is headed for the nearest hospital. Let us watch how these officers clear the road for the ambulance. While one officer stays right in front of the ambulance for escort, two others clear every upcoming intersection.

If you’re fascinated by sirens, flashing lights, and the critical work of first responders, you’re in the right place. Our channel provides a unique perspective—literally—from the driver’s seat of police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks. We collect various videos and add insightful context and commentary.

  1. The most impressive thing for me here is the road quality. If they tried this in my country the potholes would make any treatment impossible.

  2. People saying in comment that it must be a very important person. This is Netherlands NOT America or other 3rd world country. ANYONE can get this kind of escort or even a Medic-chopper if needed. ANYONE.
    Sadly, America is trying hard to destroy our European structure through our politicians. We need to get out of American dramas

  3. kind of fun to see this done by civlian police. Worked as both regular police and as a swedish armed soldier, when i worked in the army i worked as a traffic unit squadleader. this is the exact way we would do it with our BMW GS 800 motorcykles. Calling it "skip a bock"", the lead would take the first intersection, the rest of the MCs would follow through and then try to get past the convoy to get to the next intersecction.

  4. [Inaudible] at the 5:10 mark is "Hij mot effe die trambaan wijzen". This translates as "He has to point out the light rail line". The motorcycle crossed it at the 4:37 mark. So no, not a perfect run at all I'm afraid.

  5. A few years ago me and my wife had been on vacation with motorcycles in France. We ended up in a Paris traffic jam when we suddenly heard the sound of an ambulance behind us. Being Austrians we had been surprised that no one did on the road did anything to give them space to get through so we (connected with intercom) decided to help and try to block the traffic so they could get through. It worked and the ambulance could go on pretty quick…
    But we were pulled over by a random police car and fined for agressive driving behavior…
    Anyway, those 200 Euro were worth it…❤

  6. When you see an ambulance being escorted by the police at high speed it's bad.
    When you see an ambulance being escorted by the police at low speed it's really bad.

  7. Highly trained motorcycle riders but not as good as an ambulance that uses technology to communicate with vehicles ahead of its route to stay out the way. But by then we will have AI self driving vehicles so horrific accidents like this would not happen in the first place.

  8. At 3'16" he says 'helder', normaly it can translated to 'clear' but in this conversation it means 'obviously' or 'perspicuously'

  9. A fantastic team I am subscribed to their channel my favorite one which I have saved is when they are doing the escort for the dignitaries for Ukraine 🇺🇦

  10. Hi, i am one of the MICU/Ambulance drivers in Amsterdam. In the Netherlands we call this escorted driving “Glijdend Transport” (Sliding Transport) and you are again 100% right with all the comments you give. Good job!🚑👍

  11. I am proud that the Netherlands have an enormous great team of motorcycle police officers who are able to do this task in such a great way. I thank them all 🙏🙏
