Good video with a nice ride-along. But I have to confess that I spent the first sixty seconds wondering why the idiot in the van wasn’t pulling over to let the engine pass..... before realising it was an ambulance!

In GERMANY we name it "Rettungsgasse" or in English emergenyc lane... If someone don't reacts quick it's costs 2000€ or you can go to jail for 1 year ! When the Traffic jam beginns the motorway with 2,3 or 4 lanes every driver must make a " Rettungsgasse " the left lane must drive to the left and the other right lanes must drive to right. Sorry for my bad English I'm from germany

LP und mehr Motorrad Polizei Do you dream now right? Das mit der hohen Strafe ist in Österreich, nicht Deutschland! Sie sind ja - bis zur Brücke - auf ihrer Rettungsgasse gefahren. Danach war diese mit Metall vollgeparkt, daher nahmen sie die linke Spur. Klappte auch nur, weil der Verkehr am Unfallort abfließen konnte. Auch das ist in D unüblich ...

I found that when traffic is stopeed, they do want to help but are panicked. Gefting off the siren off and on and saying on the PA and giving instructions, like "cars on the left move left, cars on the right move right" works very well. There is a reaosn why most sound system have a PA, use it.

In Denmark, we also got a highway with an emergency-lane for the emergency-vehicles to rush by all the traffic. If i remember correctly, the law in Denmark also says that, if the crossing-light is red, but an emergency vehicle needs to use it, all vehicle at that place are allowed to ignore the red light, so they can give space for the emergency-vehicle to rush by.

@jayasmrmore3687 5 ай бұрын

Yes but with due regard. Make sure traffic with the green light stops first then run the red to make way.

In Europe, it's taught that you leave an alley in the middle for emergency vehicles. People in the left lane go as far left as they can, people in the right go as far right and that leaves a clear route down the middle. Look up German videos. They fucking know how to do it.

@robertmahoney5523 4 жыл бұрын

Same thing as full time department, we respond to emergency calls. The only difference between a full time fire dept and volunteer fire dept is that full time firefighters are paid and firehouses are staffed 24/7, while volunteers don't get paid and stations are not manned 24/7. Volunteers usually respond to fire calls from wherever they are at. Home, work, the store, restaurants, etc. That's how it is for over 70% of the US fire service.

Im not trying to make fun or bash any technique used in responding, this is solely out of curiousity: Why do you choose to split the traffic instead of going up the shoulder? Is it a liability issue or just a preference? I know some departments choose the shoulder. I know in this case, you are going to take the same route through as the apparatus in front of you. Good response and thank you for the video.
