The best siren was the one you used when your mate turned left. The LFB should never have phased those ones out.

Let's just take a moment to wallow in these quality 999 sirens, far better than the new ones these days.

You just steal this? At least give some credit to the uploader...

Making progress, a few ago by the looks of some of the older cars about. NOW do a re run with all the Major of London’s cycle lanes that completely stuff emergency vehicles getting past traffic.

Hillarious left turn sign on the street at 06:24, lol.

I think it's a police car, I used to drive one in London exactly like that. Yes if you think it's wreckless but we were highly trained and experienced. And had to undergo strict medical s every year. The met takes it very seriously

Ahhhh, 2009 before all the terrorists

it take much concentration to drive like this, busy city and night time. Driver should not have had his cd player on for first 3 mins. he should concentrate all the time.

good job it wasnt busy or we'd be here all night

Hey Peter how it going still in the same line of work dosent seem like 2009 since you loaded the Video (HIDDEN ) ?

I'd be going ' cross the road bitch...make my day!!' Hahaha! I live in a rural area, just come to these videos for an excitement kick! Wouldn't like to have a heart attack in London though, although I do believe they have bikers as 'first responders' now. Makes it a bit safer. Not good if your posh London apartment was ablaze though!

Music ruined it....

Thought these days that all emergency vehicle drivers,are taught to turn off the two tones at red lights and wait,rather than harass motorists to go through red lights in case it panics them, especialy that camera outside euston fire station (i think thats where it was), sad thing is, there is no law expressly giving emergency vehicles a divine right of way,no law to force people out of the way. But i believe there is a law regarding the obstruction of an emergency vehicle. But the video was superb and superb driving also..

Not really sure why but throughout this video i could taste kababs?????? any answers?

wait was his/her headlights off at the begining?

Stupid buses n taxis!!! 😡

Saintly Patience must be a job requirement for London police... with that level of traffic, I would have ground my teeth flat! One thing that would have been nice to see would be for the bus drivers approaching the same intersection as the car on a blue light run, to hold back and give way to the police car.

I would not make a very good blue light driver. Feeling tense just watching the clip. Good to see that the majority of people move out of the way reasonably quickly

You may pass through a red light and treat it as a give way if you are the one responding. There is no relaxation of the law for someone who moves through a red light to let you through, in fact not letting you through anywhere is not an offense. I don't know of anyone who has been prosecuted personally but I have heard stories. Certainly a red light camera would trigger a prosecution but you may well be successful in front of the magistrate to use the emergency vehicle as a defense. If you are a responding vehicle our guidelines would be to turn off the audible warning devices and leave the lights on so you don't panic people and push them through into a potentially dangerous situation. Basically what a lot of people have said already!

sir lost a lot actually no, in certain situations you can go through a red to get out the way .. for example if all ahead is clear - you can clear traffic for the emergency vehicle as well it's definitely situational.

that is pretty intense driving pretty glad i am not in the MET!

Is that a single dash light, or are there grills as well?

Hate the music in this! Please take it out

Meine Fresse. Das Video zeigt uns mal wieder dass die Autofahrer auf der ganzen Welt gleich dumm sind. Man muss allen Autofahrern die die Polizei oder einen Krankenwagen behindern den Führerschein wegnehmen.

But if nt going through if instructed ould result into a death or multiple deaths thats why they would instruct you . They wouldnt do it for the fun of it.

A emergency vehicle can give you instructions to go though the red light IF NEEDED only

I like the yelp & wail siren but I hate the third one (the space invader), it's bloody awful. Bring back the good old two-tones!

I'm a "blue-light" driver....and I have to say, those damn traffic islands don't half cause bloody problems!!

Stupid idiot in the blue Ford Focus at 1:40 - he can see and hear the lights and sirens but refuses to stop (arrogant twat)...then he comes off the roundabout and blocks the emergency vehicle.....take a note of the registration number.....name and shame this utter useless PILLOCK!!

nice use of noise and regard for pedestrians shame about the cheesy music!!!

i wish i can drive to work with a police car lol

That reg plate at 3:26!

Roundabout part was fine & she probably jumped the lights because she wanted to get out of the way of the car, same as to why she tried to go around that car in front of her. A lot of people panic when they see lights & sirens so they do anything in a rush to get out of the way, which sometimes puts them in a worse position, such as here. I blame lack of education more than individuals. I have never once been taught how to react to an emergency vehicle, not even on my driving lessons. Have you?

The only time it's legal to go through a red light is in an emergency (to get out of danger) or if a uniformed police officer directs you through. Other than those two times, you're breaking the law regardless of whether there's an emergency vehicle behind you or not. It's good to see that somebody else knows the craic. I get such dirty looks when I don't move for the police car even though I'd be putting myself & others in danger whilst breaking the law.

I someone who got three points cuz he moved a metre over a red light to get out the way.

It never ceases to amaze me how oblivious some drivers are. Yes, cars are more "soundproof" than they once were, and stereos are louder -- but so are sirens, and the array of blue lights is far more noticeable than the single revolving beacon of days gone by, and still some drivers seem completely unaware of an approaching emergency vehicle.

Never worked for any emergency service have you? trying telling the 1000's of people we've saved by moving effectively to scene. 8 mins is all you've got to try and help someone in cardiac arrest, and even if they aren't calls taken are never accurate so we get there asap anyway incase it is serious.

great drive other than the wig wags being on at night.

I believe European code negates that local rule. You MUST give way to emergency vehicles, any unlawful act to do so would be under emergency rights.

Ray G clearly you have zero facts or figures or incidents to recall your 99% figure.

I hope the driver of GD03 AZN was severely fined for that disgraceful excuse for driving.

What I do in heavy traffic and an emergency vehicle approaches, I pull up on the sidewalk real quick. It is very appreciated by amulances, cops etc. They always gives me thumbs up cause I´m the only one that moves... :)

even emergency vehicles get suck in london rush hour

anyone else notice santa at 2:52 lol

those are some nice sirens

No he isn't. In the UK emergency vehicle drivers commit an offence(s) once they start pressuring people and/or shouting at them to cross red lights or move in to the path of other vehicles. You can not be prosecuted for standing your ground and refusing to put yourself and others in danger. Drivers are told to switch sirens off if stuck at red lights. You would be amazed at how many emergency vehicle drivers are prosecuted each year, but are not reported in newspapers. Do a FOI request yourself.

CORRECT - anyone driving an emergency vehicle who forces a car to cross a red traffic light or drive in to the path of other traffic WILL be prosecuted. It's dangerous driving and if anyone is killed, it's a prison sentence. In the UK I have seen this a number of times, mainly bad police driving injuring and killing people. The cars had to be fitted with a "black box" data recorder, GPS and video to secure prosecutions. DO NOT put yourself in danger, the emergency vehicle will have to wait.

This is a very poor display of emergency driving. If you did that today you would be prosecuted for dangerous driving. There are a whole catalogue of errors the driver made which leads me to believe he is not a police driver. His driving is not to their standards. It falls way below the standard expected by a competent driver. He puts a number of people in danger and shouldn't be allowed to continue his driving in this manner. I hope the driver is prosecuted before he kills someone.

Uhmm it was amber when he crossed the line.. still was an ignorant bastard not to move out the way.

We're not talking Spain are we, we're talking London, and you stated someone talking UK road traffic act as wrong, not how it is in Spain. Ergo KGzll RIGHT, TGXtrucker WRONG.
