Getting over to Luton for a 999 call and so this is a good test of the new set up and I personally think the light pattern made a difference.

just to point out that you need a better camera setup, just because its says 4k doesnt mean it produces the results. your camera facing you is in fact producing high quality crisper in focus visual than the dash cam at the front. the front camera is muddy, somewhat out of focus compared to the one facing you, and you can only just make out the licence plates on vehicles.. the front camera is producing something more along the lines of 1080p
The GPS speedometer couldn't keep up in the end … must have been going faster than the satellites can keep synced 😲
At up to 170km/h though, it leaves very little room for error. Great driving and this vehicle seems to be more responsive to your needs. 👍
UK=Weather=AWD nice driving especially at 110mph
Great stuff, T9 (did I remember who they were correctly?) have done a brilliant job at incorporating cross over wig-wag for the mid height and the wig-wag on the roof line, keeps the front lighting with minimal gaps in the flash pattern, it’s really increased your presence on the road, great 👌👍😎 Not that I’ve ever seen you drive unconfidently, ever, but you look way more comfortable and settled in the car today. Only a suggestion for the camera, angle it down a couple of degrees to take in a little less sky and your light balance may improve a little in the camera. Safe, smooth, and efficient, great stuff 👌👍
Is it possible to move the speed display to the centre of the lower bar so it is easier to glance at? On a PC with a 24 inch IPS you have to bend your eyes
rightleft to find it. Just my view. 🙂Going 100mph is nuts, wonder if that's standard for all response teams
A few questions after watching many of your videos. Do you use your rear view mirrors less when driving on blues, when compared to non-emergency driving? Is there a place for electric emergency response vehicles?
It's nice to see what speed you are doing but I bet you don't look at the speedo very much, do you? I think the road conditions dictate your speed.
Impressive and smooth! The overcast day and (I'm assuming colder weather) might have helped your lights cut through the gloom, and sound carries better in colder air. Most of the drivers appeared to have seen you much earlier and responded way sooner!
Definite improvement in other drivers responses, a good drive.
This set up is so much clearer than the old one it's unbelievable.
The new light setup certainly seems to be working and it looks great, however was anyone else getting juddering with the main front camera. It doesn’t appear smooth on my playback, both the rear and internal ones are fine. But the front just seems to have low fps.
Not the best to use for making YouTube videos. Sorry to sound like I’m complaining, not at all. I just want the best for your channel.
Great driving Chris!
I noticed you seem to settle into a cruise at about 100mph, sometimes slightly above. Is there a maximum the exemption allows for or was that just what felt safe on the day?
Are you a HART paramedic
New lighting upfit looks superb compared to the original!
Do you actually prefer brake lights or turn signals as an indicator that the vehicles in front of you have recognized you?
I always find it a bit counterproductive to brake first without making any visible space – I usually use the indicator first and then pull to the side and only brake if it helps your progress.
great layout, the only thing missing now is a working mph display.
Kudos.
Hi Chris excellent video thanks 😊 do like the new lighting setup it really is attention getting 😊 take care sir .
Have you warmed to the Audi yet Chris? Or is it still early days?
The thing other drivers should realise is how much faster you could be going than them. If you are going 30,ph more than them you will catch them very quickly, so they should get out of the way as soon as they are aware…
So glad to see a speedometer with the new cameras, always wondered what kind of speeds you're going
Love it how you still look in your rearview mirror at 110mph just in case someone catches up 😅
The jacket even looks police now
The light change is definitely an improvement. No "blind spots" compared to the previous lights with moments of no light or just the whites.
that new light setup is making a difference!
The light system was working ace! You could see an immediate difference in driver action and response. Keep up the good work. 👍🏼
Having the speed in the corner makes this video so much more exciting to watch.
Love your videos, Chris! Has anyone ever told you you have a resemblance to Gary Oldman?
One minor suggestion about layout: flip the inset videos (especially rear-view) so that things passing on the left of the main video also appear on the left of the insets. And perhaps put rear-view in top center like it appears when driving a car.
I understand the urgency of making it to a scene as quick as possible, but are you guys limited to certain speeds or just whatever you feel safe going depending on road conditions etc?
Thank you 🚑
Superb driving in those conditions and at that speed , I still think alternating headlight flashing is needed give it a try , great videos Chris 👍
I noticed, having viewed your other videos, how people now respond to your approach much earlier given the new lighting layout.
Much, much better in my opinion.
Also noticed you broke the camera speedo 😂.
Cheese
Yeah, much prefer that light pattern; no blanks. The speed in the bottom-left went to 000 at 4:19 – lose satellite contact or something?
I love the new setup. Would you possibly add km/h to the screen?
New light pattern is excellent! Awesome drive again!

I bet you there are tons of people that think you are the ARU (Armed Response Unit) or just an undercover police officer
Just found this channel and I've binge watched a load of these, some of the most impressive driving I've seen. I do have a question, however. In this video I was keeping an eye on the speed in the bottom left and it looked like you were a little hesitant to hit 100mph and then once at 100 you didn't go that much beyond. I can understand not hitting the 150mph the car should do but I do want to know why you're not flooring it to 100. Maybe you are? I don't know. The time is at 2:19 just coming out of the bend which is a good reason to not floor it but then it takes 12 seconds to get to 100. Surely the car can do 90-100 quicker so there must be a reason that I'm missing.
