Amazing driving skills. For anyone criticizing this, point out timestamp any point where this was dangerous. What is even more amazing is every London driver was awake and yielded as quickly as possible which is even more amazing than the driving. In Control at all times, Traffic was light,conditions good. If anyone I know has had a Heart Attack and waiting for an Ambulance then this is how I want them to drive. Its called a "Rapid Response" vehicle for a reason.
@@bam-skater I would disagree. Far smoother driving, putting themselves in a better position to move around vehicle if the vehicle stopped at the junction.
Who are those stupid idiots criticising this driver, I only hope one Drives like this when on the way to help me or my family. Brilliant drive mate. I am ex police traffic driver and was taught to drive like you have.
I have not read other criticisms , but I for one know more about emergency response driving than that fastard did , and suspect others recognise this too . One of those days he is going to knock down a toddler who steps out from between parked vehicles - then his driving days will be over . He needs to recognise hazards and drive accordingly . I would have failed him on an advanced test .
Fuck me - yeah every minute counts, but it counts for jack shit if you've poleaxed yourself or a kid coz you're banging down a narrow street at 50mph (or 30+ past a bus or through a red light) like an f'n "hero". The object is to get there. In one piece. Without taking anyone out. Can't help if you don't get there. EVD 101 from someone who was doing it before you were a twinkle in your ol' man's eye by the sounds.
Not really..like the guy said above, all it would of took is one kid to run out behind a parked car or a car to come round the bend and he'd be screwed..sure lets get there to SAVE SOMEONE but lets not kill others while we're at it yeah? everyone saying "good drive and every second counts" is delusional....idk how paramedics work in your guys worlds but in reality they're sent to save lives not splatter people all over the road at 50mph.
@@ooglyboogly5374 i agree but, the driver should judge how fast and or dangerous to drive based of the call, say if someone was having a cardiac arrest, then you might think its worth driving with more risk compares to someone with a broken arm or something like that, we can also educate children early on about how to react to sirens, blue lights etc to prevent running into the middle of the road and such.
We all know that every second counts. I worked for the ambulance service for nearly 10 years. If my boss caught me driving like this, i would have been taken off the road immediately. Of course, depending on what the particular category of call was, judging by this, he was going to an arrest.
I agree , ex police and FRS emergency responder - this is terrible and completely irresponsible driving - just imagine if a child stepped out anywhere along that run !
Good driving - good progress made. People are critical but risks have to come into play. Also noted that wide angles make driving look far quicker and more aggressive. Keep up the good work, looking forward to seeing more.
That was shit driving. The bottom left of the screen had the GPS speed. It was very fast in the circumstances and very aggressive. Down right lucky a kid didn't walk out in front from the bus. 30+mph = no chance of stopping.
@Fresh N As fast as is possible *safely* . They're in a car capable of over 100 mph. If it was solely about driving as fast as possible they might as well plant their foot until they reach 100 mph or die trying. Driving an emergency response vehicle is about balancing pace with risk. This means they are trained to drive faster than a civilian driver in some circumstances but that doesn't multiply the safe speed tenfold. I could drive safely at between 15 and 20 mph in the situation we see from 0:53 - 1:00, probably down to less than 10 mph if alongside the oncoming vehicles towards the end of that section. Emergency training for blue light driving could enable 5 - 10 mph to be added to that for those given situations (I'd say only 5 mph on top if anything when passing the oncoming vehicles at the end, a situation they're approaching 40 mph towards. training could enable a peak of 30 mph potentially, but more is ridiculous and multiple times we see other driver not being given any time to react before this driver is driving at them or passing them very close. Causing oncoming traffic to pull emergency stops on blind bends or swerve into the kerb (as a Merc did at 2:38 *with a pedestrian right there* ) is poor driving. We aren't debating the the difference between an emergency response driver and a granny on her way to the shops and saying the emergency response driver should adopt her pace, we're saying that the emergency response driver shouldn't be driving at the same pace as the most extreme brainless criminals who would happily do 70 mph down the wrong side of a dual carriageway in heavy traffic to evade the police. There's a pace suitable for regular driving and there's a greater pace suitable for balancing risks with getting to a scene. What we see here is not that safe pace for getting to a scene, it's a solid way to not make it to the scene and have an additional scene which colleagues need to attend. Pursuit trained traffic officers don't even take this many risks, that's officers with additional training over an FRU driver. That should suggest something about this driving if nothing else does.
Nope - no emergency is so great that you take risks getting there . That is dangerous driving . I speak as an ex police and FRS emergency responder . All it would take is for a child to step out and that guy's career would be over - he is running on luck , and that always runs out .
Great and safe driving. The driver left the horns/sirens on all the time to give other road users maximum notice of his presence. They heard the sirens and then reacted accordingly. Well done to all! I hope the patient recovered well and is in good health. That is the most important thing!
What about children who could have stepped out at any time ? What about the deaf ? whether drivers or pedestrians . This was terrible driving and that idiot ought to be grounded pending further training . No emergency is so great that you take risks to get there .
Magnificent driving skills and lightening reactions. Have to ask why was there no Ambulance closer than this distance to the emergency? I thought Ambulance crews were stationed at various points in the city so the one nearest can be called to any incident. I also think the driver was lucky a totally deaf person didn't decide to cross the road at just the wrong moment or they'd have been "toast".
Ambulance crews are spaced out for coverage, however, if the crew(s) nearest to the situation is already dealing with a patient then the dispatcher will have to make a call as to who to move. It's not unheard of dispatchers to allocate a call to a crew out of area, often miles (this is not London) away from base on the basis that there is no nearer available crew, however an ambulance is required. The hope is that a nearer crew becomes available or if a crew becomes available it may be possible to dispatch a closer crew, but have the original crew be reallocated to an accident that would normally be in the other crews area. Almost a Newtons cradle of actions. Between them the call takers, dispatchers and Ambulance crews are amazing, and we're lucky to have them. As for the deaf person, I personally think this was just an amazingly executed drive and they'd have no worries.
Skills ? he is just running on bravado and sooner or later he will come a cropper . That is absolutely NOT the way to respond to an emergency call , not if you want to arrive safely .
@@howdan1985 the purpose of speed bumps is to slow the majority of people down (w the exception of emergency vehicles). If they’re dangerous that just means you’re going too fast.
Lots of different views on this lad's driving, some in favour and some not. I guess he'll know whether he's doing it right or not when Section 19 assessments start in April. I've watched some of the his other videos and he obviously has good perception, but for me, too quick through red ATS, there's a fine line. Maybe commentary would enable viewers to ascertain acknowledgements in these hazard rich environments? Driving thoughts aside, frontline staff always get my respect.
He is FAR too fast through residential streets and past parked cars between any of which a child could step out . His reactions may be quick , but he is not allowing enough time for other road users to see him and react . we always teach to look for a positive response from other road users before proceeding - he wasn't waiting for any response . This driver is going to come to a sorry end - he is dangerous .
Got to credit the driving skills of the emergency service staff. And to this day I don't know why they don't make ambulances a lot more powerful and faster than at present. It's painful to see an ambulance blue lighting on the motorway but struggling to pass 70mph. Supercharge them, turbo the guts out of them, make them 140mph super wagons. They are crucial vehicles and should be invested in heavily no matter what the cost.
That is NOT good driving ; he is far too fast in those circumstances and has no chance of avoiding a child who might step out . He will find himself charged with causing death by dangerous driving if this continues unchecked .
Good drive, ignore the armchair experts 😂🤷🏻♂️ Watched the speed on the bottom left max speed was 57... and passed a bus at 24... get a grip of you think that’s bad 🤦🏻♂️
And you are qualified in what way ? I am a former police advanced driver and instructor , and current emergency responder with FRS . We will not tolerate that standard of dangerous driving .
Just a thought about the speed bumps.... How does a shock absorber through the bonnet or shattered wheel improve your chances of arriving in time to save a life? Mechanical failure happens - there are times when you really don't want to encourage it.
Make sure when you call 999 for you or a loved one you request them not to go so quick through residential areas, save fuel twice through lower speed and cancelled call as you are DOA. Clearly driven to an urgent/shout/code3 have we....probably more likely to be someone who has got in the way to be fair
You know them thing called blue lights and them loud sirens They are surprisingly to warn people that they are coming and not to walk out in front of them My I also add they are highly trained drivers that have good reactions times and not to mention the enhancements on the rrv brakes Stop trying to be a now it all
I always tell my nephews and nieces to play on the road and not listen or look out for anything. In fact, I also taught them that the red man means go.
LolYouSaidWhat? They are as well as engine enhancement to make sure they can stop in time and reach the higher speeds they need to when responding to serious category 1 and 2 calls
To people saying " the speed is dangoures and disgusting, terible driving and you could have killed somebody" 1. There is sirebs for a reason 2. When you need a ambulance would you rather them speeding through traffic to save your dying death or would you rather em take it slow , wait for lights and that and die nearly an hour before there there
Nope : that is far too fast in those residential streets . I speak as a former police advanced driver and instructor , and current FRS emergency responder . All it would take is for a small child to step out from between any of those parked cars and that driver would have no chance of stopping and would then be looking at charges of causing death by dangerous driving . The first thing taught in emergency response driving is that you are of no use if you have a crash on your way to an incident , not only does another unit need to be sent to replace you , but other resources have to be deployed to help you . It was also too fast to allow other road users to see you and react . That driver needs to slow down and get there safely . This is NOT a good example of response driving .
Fast response unit. Single crewed without the capacity to carry patients. They get to calls quicker than standard A&E ambulance to stabilise the patient.
It sounds like a VW TDI engine with a DSG gearbox to me, maybe a Skoda Octavia, presumably a Scout model judging by the way it seemed to be ok with the speed bumps.
Staff acting volition because I can no get a garl friend to love me how I am sad and about ther money ther keep talking about me pissing them winding me up over rent
I'm a serving PC, although I don't have a response driving permit myself, I've been with plenty of response drivers at high speeds to calls (At one point hitting 110 miles an hour), on another ocassion I was in a pursuit with the area car driver trained to advanced level when we followed a vehicle and hit speeds of 70 miles an hour over speedbumps and 80-90 miles an hour down residential streets with parked cars on both sides of the road, that said it was 2:30AM and only a handful of other vehicles were on the road. I'd say personally this is borderline dangerous, if not dangerous, of course speed comes into it, but so does safety, additionally you don't want to slam your car into a speedbump and damage it en-route to the call.
The driver of this vehicle didn't position correctly for the speed bumps, I would question their training and ability. On the other hand, depends on the nature of the call and safety had gone out the window.. no civilians were harmed so it was a good day I suppose!
@@RandomDroneAdventures agreed. however i suspect part of this was to show off for the camera... People can criticise all they want. at the end of the day if he hits someone its the courts that will come down on him like a tonne of bricks. moreso than any normal trained driver.
The trusts guideline speed for a 30mph zone is 50mph, I think this was exceeded only once for a couple second. This driving was by no means dangerous and completely justifiable in court.
He was just following training. Sirens are supposed to be deactivated when at a red light that you cannot get through, granted it turned flashing amber as he was about to stop, he still had their attention and there was no need to turn them back on straight away :)
@@LiamCasserley What is the point in having sirens or lights in the first place then? Just use an unmarked vehicle and crawl your way to an emergency, if speed doesn't matter anyway. What does minutes even matter to dying people, right? No forking way, mate. This instance right here was stupid! Turning off those sirens at that moment basically meant. "Even though you should have realized me coming from miles away, especially crossing pedestrians, then I'll hang back here and politely wait until you've crossed the road and the driver have slowly moved to the side. Then I'll resume saving lives." No! Instead, the horn should be honked and kept bottomed out the second this lazy and disrespectful scene came in to view, so these people knew they forked up and WASTED potential precious seconds in a lifesaving rescue. But no. Let's set aside our mission and be polite. Jesus.
I have passed and have a response permit and just saying if they watched you drive like this it would be revoked right away. Sure, quick response is needed to save lives but not when it puts other members of the public lives at risk...Driving through residential areas at easy 60mph and you had a few close calls..What if someone ran across the road? Or a child ran out from behind a parked car? you would of not stopped in time...At 2:01 you even drive on the other side..what if a car was coming round the corner? you would of hit it...On top of that service cars need to be well maintained obviously to make them reliable so driving 60mph+ over speed humps won't do it any good.. What good is it if the car gives way and you have to stop or you hit someone? Doesn't that defeat the whole point of getting there? So people saying "oh he needs to get there quick to save people" obviously...but not by potentially killing others or recking the car so badly he don't even make there at all..
Agree Chloe. Absolutely appalling emergency driving. About the only EVD rule that this geezer didn't break was not having the audible warning device activated. But 2s and blues do not make a magical force-field.
chloe u just want to say emergency vehcles are allowed to dive on other side of the road its toget around quicker and an emergency vehcles can be responding at 100mph BRITISH ARV...
Bro I bet they bill you weekly for new brake pads and suspension...everyone who’s calling that good driving are the same people who drive into trees at 90mph...I have sat in on a commentary blue light response and I can tell you right now this guy would have his response permit instant revoked, he broke like 4000004050504 rules and the main one being putting other members of the public at risk..sure he needs to get there quickly but not as the expense of hitting a car or person..BECAUSE THEN HE DOESNT GET THERE AT ALL DOES HE! swear reading some of these comments has gave me brain damage.
Joe Jones hard to believe, doing like 50 in a schoolzone and like 40 over speed bumps? drove it like he stole it and if you actually were a paramedic with a response permit you’d know putting others in danger while responding you might aswell not bother at all, counted atleast 10 times he could of killed or had an RTC and forgetting all that god help that car..no good responding if your car is gonna pack up on the way there, guessing they replace his suspension every 100 mile.
Connor You dont get it it’s called a rapid response vehicle for a reason, I wouldn’t expect them to do 5 mph over a speed bump or go 20 in a school zone if someone was having a medical problem
Joe Jones you drive like this all the time? Glad I don’t live in same town then tbh, “rapid response” pretty sure doesn’t include killing people or crashing on way there tbh or not getting there at all due to car packing up but anyways your opinion is he drove okay my opinion is it was too dangerous at times so fair enough
I completely agree, they should add some kind of noise making device and maybe some bright flashing lights so at least people will know they are coming and can move out the way.
Fergy I’d rather they didn’t take risks, didn’t drive too close to parked cars, didn’t drive aggressively, didn’t force their way through giving other road users no options.
Having been police advanced trained not the best drive speed in a closed up traffic calmed road with hazards all around bus, cars and speed was 50plus. Not very fluid or calm. I would say red mist kicked in and call became a priority and not the safest drive.

The comments on here about his driving. FFS 🤦♂️
Staff acting volition because I can no get a garl friend to love me how I am sad and about ther money ther keep talking about me pissing them winding me up over rent
I'm a serving PC, although I don't have a response driving permit myself, I've been with plenty of response drivers at high speeds to calls (At one point hitting 110 miles an hour), on another ocassion I was in a pursuit with the area car driver trained to advanced level when we followed a vehicle and hit speeds of 70 miles an hour over speedbumps and 80-90 miles an hour down residential streets with parked cars on both sides of the road, that said it was 2:30AM and only a handful of other vehicles were on the road.
I'd say personally this is borderline dangerous, if not dangerous, of course speed comes into it, but so does safety, additionally you don't want to slam your car into a speedbump and damage it en-route to the call.
The driver of this vehicle didn't position correctly for the speed bumps, I would question their training and ability.
On the other hand, depends on the nature of the call and safety had gone out the window.. no civilians were harmed so it was a good day I suppose!
@@RandomDroneAdventures agreed. however i suspect part of this was to show off for the camera... People can criticise all they want. at the end of the day if he hits someone its the courts that will come down on him like a tonne of bricks. moreso than any normal trained driver.
@@YorkshireBeanie Absolutely, hopefully it never comes to that though.
@@RandomDroneAdventures Tis what we all hope for.
The trusts guideline speed for a 30mph zone is 50mph, I think this was exceeded only once for a couple second. This driving was by no means dangerous and completely justifiable in court.
Suspension won’t last long the way he hit the speed humps
solsunftm suspension can be replaced a humans life can't!
Every second counts. Who gives a toss about replaceable suspension when someone’s life could be at stake.
I had no food yet staff morning over money ther trying to samck us
This is why I HATE these stupid speed bumps , makes it more difficult for emergency services.
Beautiful! Love the driving and speed!
But don't turn off the siren at 0:30! It's where people need to **** off - so make them!
He was just following training. Sirens are supposed to be deactivated when at a red light that you cannot get through, granted it turned flashing amber as he was about to stop, he still had their attention and there was no need to turn them back on straight away :)
@@LiamCasserley What is the point in having sirens or lights in the first place then? Just use an unmarked vehicle and crawl your way to an emergency, if speed doesn't matter anyway. What does minutes even matter to dying people, right? No forking way, mate.
This instance right here was stupid! Turning off those sirens at that moment basically meant. "Even though you should have realized me coming from miles away, especially crossing pedestrians, then I'll hang back here and politely wait until you've crossed the road and the driver have slowly moved to the side. Then I'll resume saving lives."
No! Instead, the horn should be honked and kept bottomed out the second this lazy and disrespectful scene came in to view, so these people knew they forked up and WASTED potential precious seconds in a lifesaving rescue. But no. Let's set aside our mission and be polite. Jesus.
Every emergency car not truck has that engine noise
eeeeeeeeeEeeeEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Red mist
I have passed and have a response permit and just saying if they watched you drive like this it would be revoked right away. Sure, quick response is needed to save lives but not when it puts other members of the public lives at risk...Driving through residential areas at easy 60mph and you had a few close calls..What if someone ran across the road? Or a child ran out from behind a parked car? you would of not stopped in time...At 2:01 you even drive on the other side..what if a car was coming round the corner? you would of hit it...On top of that service cars need to be well maintained obviously to make them reliable so driving 60mph+ over speed humps won't do it any good.. What good is it if the car gives way and you have to stop or you hit someone? Doesn't that defeat the whole point of getting there? So people saying "oh he needs to get there quick to save people" obviously...but not by potentially killing others or recking the car so badly he don't even make there at all..
Agree Chloe. Absolutely appalling emergency driving. About the only EVD rule that this geezer didn't break was not having the audible warning device activated. But 2s and blues do not make a magical force-field.
chloe u just want to say emergency vehcles are allowed to dive on other side of the road its toget around quicker and an emergency vehcles can be responding at 100mph BRITISH ARV...
Way to fast. I actually thought it had been sped up in places. I agree every second counts but that was unsafe in places.
No system . This is not what we teach. And the speed through the red light was terrible. Good luck.
Bro I bet they bill you weekly for new brake pads and suspension...everyone who’s calling that good driving are the same people who drive into trees at 90mph...I have sat in on a commentary blue light response and I can tell you right now this guy would have his response permit instant revoked, he broke like 4000004050504 rules and the main one being putting other members of the public at risk..sure he needs to get there quickly but not as the expense of hitting a car or person..BECAUSE THEN HE DOESNT GET THERE AT ALL DOES HE! swear reading some of these comments has gave me brain damage.
Connor I’m telling you, I am a paramedic and I am saying now he did all the right things nothing bad
Joe Jones hard to believe, doing like 50 in a schoolzone and like 40 over speed bumps? drove it like he stole it and if you actually were a paramedic with a response permit you’d know putting others in danger while responding you might aswell not bother at all, counted atleast 10 times he could of killed or had an RTC and forgetting all that god help that car..no good responding if your car is gonna pack up on the way there, guessing they replace his suspension every 100 mile.
Connor You dont get it it’s called a rapid response vehicle for a reason, I wouldn’t expect them to do 5 mph over a speed bump or go 20 in a school zone if someone was having a medical problem
Connor I personally drive this this amazing dude and give him all my respect
Joe Jones you drive like this all the time? Glad I don’t live in same town then tbh, “rapid response” pretty sure doesn’t include killing people or crashing on way there tbh or not getting there at all due to car packing up but anyways your opinion is he drove okay my opinion is it was too dangerous at times so fair enough
Too aggressive
So someone in your family is having a heart attack you wouldn't want them coming quickly very second counts
Dangerous driving. It won't be long until you run into someone when you come up on people that fast
I completely agree, they should add some kind of noise making device and maybe some bright flashing lights so at least people will know they are coming and can move out the way.
Appalling driving! Far too aggressive. Looks like it’s been driven by someone who stole it.
Would you rather they just took their time?
Fergy I’d rather they didn’t take risks, didn’t drive too close to parked cars, didn’t drive aggressively, didn’t force their way through giving other road users no options.
Gregg D clearly he’s s trained and more advanced driver
Having been police advanced trained not the best drive speed in a closed up traffic calmed road with hazards all around bus, cars and speed was 50plus. Not very fluid or calm. I would say red mist kicked in and call became a priority and not the safest drive.
Shall we let the casualty die?
I assume this is a Teaching-Video how NOT to drive..
