SgtRosier thank you :)

Thank you very much :)

Those were indeed thank you honks. Thanking good driving behaviour reinforces it and helps ensure positive decision making in the future when making room for other emergency vehicles.

This was certainly one of the better runs.

Oh believe me, they very rarely behave this well!

South east 999 videos Channel 2 thank you :)

Haha thank you :) it’s has pretty good acceleration but it’s nothing compared to the ambulance I drive now! The zigzag lines are hazard warning lines that warn you that you are approaching a pedestrian crossing. They carry additional parking restrictions.

Aviation And Emergency Services thank you. Please check out the rest of my videos :)

Thank you :) progress is the aim of the game :)

Galavanta the oncoming car didn't notice me till very late even though I'm approaching with all my blue lights on!

I don't! We have people for that! On average maybe 20 speed cameras a week.

+JW93Emergency Wasn't sure you'd answer that; was a tongue in cheek question. :-) All for the greater good though.

@@johnmcquay82 Actually I was wondering the same! Great answer! :)

Tickets are not sent out to authorised vehicles...

@@OH2023-cj9if That's a pretty recent change if it's the case.

Thank you very much Zach. I cannot understand the driving style in the US. I regularly see very unsafe practices from emergency drivers there. One handed steering, crossover steering, speed through red lights, lack of forward observation/planning. I'd be interested to know what emergency driving training they get. Here in the UK we are all trained Advanced Drivers. To drive an ambulance under emergency conditions is a 4 week advanced driving course to the same standard as Police. In those 4 weeks we practice: The System of Vehicle Control, Box Overtaking, Skid Control, Hazard Avoidance at Speed, Commentary Driving to learn forward planning etc. We do all of this in live situations on the public road and have to do 3 assessed emergency drives too. There are also several exams to pass about road signage and driving theory.

@@CymruEmergencyResponder we have EVOC which covers the bare minimum of emergency driving. Focuses more on parking, and backing the vehciles up sort of thing. It just amazes me when I've been going to calls and the driver wonders why traffic wont move and they're just hitting the stutter tone the whole time.

You’ll be fine. Remember to drive to IPSGA and don’t get carried away with speed. It’s about safe steady progression not reckless speed.

Sorry for the late reply. I've always worked in this field. I started out in hospitals working in A&E departments, ICU, general wards and other specialist units before moving to the dark side lol :P

@@CymruEmergencyResponder thx

thefiestaguy it is indeed! I am now based in Bristol and Bournemouth. Still live in Dover though.

How can you be based in Bristol and Bournemouth and live in Dover

Tom Sullivan I work 3-6 shifts on duty and then 4 off. Service pay for accommodation.

Yeah they still flash! Not sure about the reviewing process

I N F I N I T Y sorry for the late reply. Yes they still flash. Some get cancelled before being issued. Most ambulances have a 'gatso light' which is a steady blue light on the back of them. The camera photograph will therefore always show a blue light if the vehicle is on an emergency call so the person looking so the photo knows not t issue the ticket. Some tickets still get sent but they get appealed due to Road Traffic Act exemptions and cancelled in that way.

I N F I N I T Y please check out my other videos :)

김기환 quite modified if its NHS

Jacob Boulding no, this was mid-afternoon. It was a rather overcast day.

This was a Renault Master.

No, this was a Renault Master.

Phoebe xo we have legal exemption from speed limits as long as we can justify it and it is safe/done with due regard for other road users. We must carry out constant dynamic risk assessments whilst driving under emergency conditions.

@@CymruEmergencyResponder Do ambulance drivers have to undergo an advanced driving course like police pursuit drivers???

In answer to my own question looks like they do and will post this link for anyone who is interested. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g5mnndSUuNy7l4k.html

Zenon-Paul King apologies, yes we do. It’s a full time 4 week course.

@@zenon-paulking3399 ...... no they don’t. Absolutely don’t!!! As well as training themselves, the police oversee the training that fire engine drivers undertake. Whereas the ambulance service train themselves. And this, as anybody who watches behind-the-scenes emergency services documentaries will spot a major difference between the ambulance responses compared to those of the fire service and the police. Police and fire operate an almost “sterile cockpit” approach as operated by airline pilots. No chit-chat, just relevant and minimum talking. But if you watch any UK fly-on-the-wall ambulance service documentary you’ll see a very noticeable difference. Personally I am utterly flabbergasted at what goes on in the cab while responding to calls. They laugh and joke, and discuss dates, boyfriends and girlfriends, and what they’re having for dinner, what their favourite takeaways are...... it’s shocking to see. So much so that if anyone ever has a crash with an ambulance you should DEMAND to see onboard cctv footage if there is any. Don’t get me wrong..... I’ve got the utmost respect for our ambulance crews, paramedics and NHS on the whole, but the way many ambulance crews blatantly fail to concentrate on their driving when being filmed appalls me. And as it appears a major part of the TV coverage I can only assume it is the norm and goes on day-in day-out. It is truly a dangerous and unprofessional trait. Surely they have to concentrate 100% on what is a very dangerous part of their job. And how on earth can they do that when discussing last night’s Eastenders or a new pair of shoes?

I think they use it to say thank you

@@MissKittybigpaws I thought so

It's to change the siren or turn it off/on

I was private working on a frontline contract for NHS. It's still a real ambulance though.

Just enquire with the NHS

We don’t have ‘ambulance drivers’. You have to be clinally trained also. You would also need the right to work in the UK.

@@sebby324 NHS?

@@CymruEmergencyResponder what will be the procedures

@@vasuki583 national health service

MrDwem and whys that? There was a patient on board and my colleague said to get him in fast, just fast. So I made it fast and it was still smooth.

pretty sure if you had a patient bleeding to death you wouldn't be telling the driver to cruise slowly.
