2:18 – so many people do what the blue Peugeot does on the other side of the road. Despite seeing a blue light vehicle coming towards them, they don't slow down or stop, they carry on and limit opportunities to overtake. Mindless.
If the gen public would park legally and sensibly to let big vehicles space to pass, that would help. But no, everybidy is so important that they park their SUV in a middle of road/ pacement/ junction .selfishness impacts emergemcy services trying to save lives.
To be fair, from one blue light driver. I was a bit taken aback first time I watched it. But on my second watch of it, I can only say. Perfect driving and good timing with different choices of horns/sirens. Spot on.
People need to learn to move out of the way when emergencies come. Thats why we have these lights. Where in metropolitan London is this. Because it looks like in the south London area of the Thames.
35-40 years ago I was a volunteer ambulance officer/driver in New Zealand. I was doing an emergency trip to the hospital with a patient on board. On the main road (100kph) I caught up to an old Morris Oxford that was following an articulated petrol tanker. I had flashing lights and siren going.
As I was overtaking the car, she decided to overtake the petrol tanker. I ended up with all four wheels in the gravel shoulder……at 100kph……in a CF Bedford ambulance.
As I passed the trucks cab, I could see the drivers face looking at me. He was as white as a sheet.
This is what it feels like being a LFB Firefighter in the Fire Engine which I want to be as my dream job with wearing boots, suspenders, coat, gloves, hood, breathing apparatus and helmet

Could they have been given a more underpowered vehicle to use for a 999 call? 😮
Very poor use of tones – seems to be just using them at random

General public has no idea how difficult it is to drive such a heavy vehicle on blue lights compensating for idiots in the road..

That was a great drive . Safe and making good progress .
It never ceases to amaze me where some people think is a good place to stop for an emergency vehicle.
Massive respect to our emergency services
Just came across this; looks like a controlled chaos driving that lol. Massive props to the driver though. I would have hit so much 😂
I like the little nod of respect to the ambulance service at 1:37
Some driver, just another days graft 😊
Looks like it's driving along the A220 heading into Erith
That SUV at the very beginning…😡🤬😡
From the map and posting date of this video you can work out what incident this emergency call was. Is this an issue?
I think time is coming for emergency vehicles to slow down. It isn't worth it. It's too dangerous at these sort of speeds

Spot on.

Bloody hell he was working on that steering wheel!
0:10 The most British response ever

PLEASE MIND YOUR LANGUAGE AND PLEASE BE CAREFUL
ASDA can deliver you food quality food but it has a bad driver in it 0:50
Anticipation. Actually noticing things happening. Way way way way way advanced
I'd trust that driver with my life. Warrior vibe. Glad he's in my city.
emergency vehicles should have dash cams so that idiots like the one in that blue 4×4 at the start can get nicked for careless driving
Driving it like a go-kart. Lots of fun
I'm sea sick
My son in law has done this for at least 20 years, first with LFB, now with London Ambulance.
Heavy duty ramming bumpers should do the trick
That ASDA driver at 0:52 got a move on , to reappear at 02:05 , that’s some shortcut!
The idiot was also in the passenger seat of the fire appliance, NOT professional to shout out at the driver of the CRV
Let's pull up next to a traffoc island, well done to those drivers.
Respect highest level respect thabk you ❤❤
Thank you for your service men and women of the fire brigade in 🇬🇧
Hi, can i share this with credit? also good to see someone using the hilo tone a lot its basically a wail and yelp mixed together.

Car drivers really are a very particular and 'special' breed.
