[INSIDE VIEW] UK Emergency Ambulance Blue Light Run – Convoy with Met Police TSG!

It is the A12 as described

Thank god the coffee didn't get spilt.

That's awesome Amount Traffic A12 towards Leytonstone via Redbridge

TSG ploughing the road for you

Police vehicles seem to have more 'clout' when it comes to getting through traffic on blues. The idiot drivers also don't seem to take advantage and follow close behind to queue jump when its a police vehicle! Seen it done numerous times with ambulances and they always end up turning off in a different direction so clearly not associated to anyone getting treatment.

5:50 drivers need to remember the only time they can cross a red light that is operating correctly is if a police constable in uniform stands in the road and takes over directing traffic. Special Escort Groups do this. If they direct you over a red light and you get a ticket, it gets cancelled, but not if you thought there was an emergency vehicle trying to get past! At no other point can you cross it, even if someone is behind you with a siren blaring and lights flashing. They have to wait unfortunately. It is for them to find a way around you, not for you to break the Law and possibly injure or kill someone else. If you do cross a red light you can get a fine and points, especially from a camera. If you run someone over or hit another vehicle and/or cause injuries/damage or cause others to have a collision – you WILL be prosecuted. An emergency vehicle behind you is no defence in Law, it is only used as an excuse to try and lower any sentence you get.
You can not be prosecuted for obeying a traffic signal such as a red light. You will not be prosecuted for obstruction either as it would cause further more serious offences in this context.
There is also NO requirement in Law to damage your vehicle and you certainly should NOT be mounting pavements, this is a further offence you can be prosecuted for. Poor road design or lack of consultation between Councils and Emergency Services is NOT the problem of the drivers using those roads.

Amazing how many people do not look in their mirrors after the police van goes past

Great driving thanks

Lane splitting works wonderfully. Here in Australia they would just sit there trying to force everyone into lane 1, which obviously does not work.

Can't beat a convoy 👍

Great response! Kudos for the crew and majority of the motorists.

People hearing the sirens and not looking in there mirrors

Action Stations.

Is it not better to use a different siren tone to the lead vehicle so to make it a bit clearer 2 vehicles not just one, using same siren just blends in together

First impression? Ambulance driver worried about double solid lines in the tunnel approach (they cut the siren). There's no oncoming traffic, as it's a dual carriageway, so no risk. Police driver more effective. This isn't a criticism, just an observation.

Excellent stuff,nice use of the police van to act as a bulldozer,really surprised they went separate ways,our finest at its best 🥰

Amazing how many obese vehicles on road now obstructing emergem y services .
