Cop in the wrong

It`s not illegal to be deaf is it ?

the car driver was correct in not crossing the red light*. The police driver should've been looking for a better way past on his approach to the junction. "You must not pass a red light unless a police officer explicitly says otherwise. People have been fined for crossing red lights to let emergency vehicles past and any appeals get rejected.28 May 2022" - Google. *The Highway Code rule 219 states: Consider the route of such a vehicle and take appropriate action to let it pass, while complying with all traffic signs.

Police was in the wrong im afraid

The police should avoid using their 'bully boy' tactics on an innocent motorists to force him to break the law. They would disappear when he got the court summons. The goons should turn off their silly lights as per the highway code.

Mate its a Police car, not your personal.. go up on the curb and drive passed the civ - not like you couldn't do it as a police officer.

Interesting. That driver would not only be breaking the law by yielding to the harassing police car (if it was one) but quite likely to have caused an accident. In Germany, however, the car would be breaking the law by not complying, I believe, although the fact it wasn't a marked emergency vehicle might be a mitigation. Some other European countries allow drivers to go through red lights with caution if an emergency vehicle is being impeded.

IS THAT IT?

All the people saying 'you can't go through a red light' are idiots, you should have the competence as a driver to be able to assess the situation and that was clearly a safe time to go through the red to allow the police to get past. Honestly the fact that they didn't take action sooner is shocking, the police were noticeable for ages before they stopped.

Imagine risking getting points on your licence for the sake of a few minutes

Car upfront is entirely correct. If he was to have gone through the red light and there was a camera there he is liable for any fines, points etc. The police was more than capable of doing around e.g., going over the curb like they was intending to. Its a shit situation but the points and fine for going through a redlight is no joke.

Late for his supper.

who's at wrong here ultimately depends on the county you're in, the police shouldn't have cancelled their tone if they wanted the car to move, some counties allow a red light jump if forced by emergency services, other counties don't so defo look up your local laws, certainly a tricky situation but well done to the both of them for keeping it civil!

Lol that gave me a good chuckle. Would you mind if i used a few dashcam related clips from your channel in my compilations fully credited and linked to you of course. If not though no worries and have a great weekend :)

Are you thick? It is an offence to cross the stop line. The driver was absolutely correct not to do so.

What is the point of this waste of internet video

Where could the driver go….? Happens constantly in Bath due to constrictive cycle lanes… ‘road furniture ‘ and now ‘ring of steel’ anti terrorist bollards Causing delays to many many Ambulances on emergency calls… Cyclist do cause harm

Where can he go…

nothing happened, your video is awful clickbait

Some drivers don't know what's best. There has been drivers find and had points taken off them for going through the lights

Ain’t no way I would pull over for the police at a red light ....even with there blues and 2s on they have no over rideing power to force you to move over for them ...how ever if you an do so safely then you should

Only thing the driver could have done was park on the traffic island but that wouldn’t be easy with the Police car up his arse. Police driver didn’t cover himself in glory on this one. The guy couldn’t run a red light!

If you are stuck at a red light then you don't have to move for emergency vehicles. They can't force you to drive through a red light. It's illegal to do so and you can be fined. The fine won't be overturned. It's the emergency services drivers job to find a way through traffic, not yours

If anything it's the officers fault for not reading the road and not predicting that would happen.

The white car was completely right in not moving, if the police wanted him to move then they would have to get out, stop the traffic at the lights then instruct the white car to cross the red light, get back in their car and then carry on. That is the only way you can cross a red light, under direct instruction of a police officer directing traffic..... we'll done you, many would have bowed to the pressure

The rider could hear the sirens well before the junction. The white car driver should have heard them too and instigated a clear path between the roundabout and junction.... Knowing the light was on red and there wasn't a clear path for the emergency vehicle to pass. It's called thinking ahead. Yes the emergency vehicle could have stuck to the left, but I'm assuming the emergency vehicle thought the white car would move forward enough to let it pass they got themselves in the way. Law or not, the white car was ignorant. Made a mistake got in the way, didn't move out of the way.

Hey mate, is it OK to feature your clip in a moto edit some time soon? We will credit you in all the descriptions.

Learned more from the L plate moped rider than the impatient unaware rider with the camera ..... Obviously he's trying to anticipate the next move of the van ....

Hey mate, would it be nice to feature your clip in my next episode? Credited of course (watermark and link to your channel).

And this shows the real issue with the way UK riding/driving liscence works. You dont have to even take a theory test to go on a CBT course. You do a days course and you're then allowed out for 2 years on a bike up 125cc, capable of 70+mph, and you can become a professional rider (paid for riding) with 1 day of experience and no test having been taken. Where as if you want to ride a bike bigger than 125cc, even if you've had a car liscence for over 30 years you have to take a theory test and then 2 further tests. Absolutely rediculous system. The highway code says a vehicle dispalying L plates has a driver/rider under instruction, but if you have done a CBT course you are no longer under instruction, you are riding within the limitatuons of your liscence, so displaying L plates doesnt even make sense!

I thought you give right of way. But im in the US

hello! Hope you are well, can I use your video for my next compilation? you will be id in the video and in the description, thanks for your answer

Hello! Would it be possible to add this video to my future work? Thanks a lot

Hey. All good to feature it? Full credits + notification. Thank you so much!

stay safe bro

woof

He’s on L plates and obviously not that confident,.learn some patience and stop trying to bully him into making a move he’s not comfortable doing ,

Police obviously had another route they could have taken. Poor forward thinking got them trapped.

Hey, may I include this video in my next episode? I'll make sure it's watermarked and linked to your channel.

Hello! Would it be okay to use this in compilations and possibly on some of our social networks? You will receive full credit for it. Thanks!

Firstly well done rider for pulling in to allow the police car to pass. Secondly just looking at this junction, I know this is with hindsight, but as an advanced driver with blue light training, I was extremely surprised to see this police officer choose that move, looking ahead there is very little traffic so he should have kept left and easily have taken the little cut through in the wrong direction. I'm assuming he was reasonably local to the area. I can only imagine it was a decision made in the moment. Oh and also why didn't he go up over the central reservation in the opposing lane? Crossing curbs and obstacles without damaging the wheels or vehicle used to be in the training. As mentioned in other comments here the white car has done nothing wrong in staying at the red light but they should have stopped before that as the siren could clearly be heard, so not helping by being unaware of their surroundings. Ride safe and happy.

Had wide kerbs either side. Just two wheels up on either, job done.

Most comments on here are ABSOLUTELY CLUELESS.

Animal abuse?

He should have switch off the siren until the lights turned to green

F' em, they can wait. Its not like they do anything important anyway.

Well done the driver of the white car , don't be bullied by these yobs

uk road laws, police cannot force you to go through a red light, if there is space to move then move to the side, besides that ... we cannot go through a red, even if it is an emergency service ( i shit you not, you can get done for doing it)

Nobody ever got done for NOT running a red light in this country. Their own advice tells drivers to do EXACTLY what this car did. The sirens don't suspend the rest of the rules.

Now let's see him do that uphill!!!
