The complete lack of awareness baffles me. They use the siren as if it is time limited, it's meant to warn traffic and pedestrians of an emergency vehicle. USE IT!
Nota lack of awareness, its entitlement with a lot of them. Honestly, with those you need to be able to use a megaphone like the cops have and go "Move aside." and if they fail to then do so "I'm talking to you in the black vehicle blocking the ambulance, MOVE ASIDE!" and then if that still does nothing "Listen you ignorant driver, move aside." Of course if it was me I'd add a few choice words which arent suitable for the ears of children lol
one big error here is not keeping the lights and noise on constantly. And seeing pedestrians walking towards an upcoming ambulance without slowing down is a horror situation to me. But then again, I am Dutch so I am used to better road behavior.
Maybe it's because of the fear of complaints At least that's what happened in Taiwan, most of the private ambulance are really quiet, a lot of times you won't notice him until he's right behind you, even when sirens are on through the entire journey
Beijing's traffic laws are either lackluster in terms of fines or they rely too much on cameras to punish people. - Cyclists and moped drivers that goes against the flow of Traffic. - Cars and Trucks that give no way, even if they have hundreds of meters of space to their side. (For crying out loud, even in the smallest streets in Germany we would still find enough space for an F-150 Truck to move to the side, just so the ICU Medical Truck (which is the size of a Tank, mind you) could easily pass without problems.) - Small vehicles weaving through traffic and ignoring lights and sirens. - Pedestrians that basically think they are immortal and simply continue walking into the path of the ambulance. And let us also not forget that whoever was driving the ambulance either had a very strict policy on their neck as to not disturb the surrounding people too much or their colleague was kept deactivating the lights and sirens; either way the Lights and Sirens must stay on, only then would people finally pay fully attention.
you have practically taken the reality of the facts, in fact in Beijing there is a law that regulates the use of the siren, consequently you cannot have a "constant" sound however much it may be with the change of siren
8:49 Sirens should have been on. Some have said the siren should be in the whole time, which I do think is ok, but if people are getting out of your way it’s not needed.
No, the driver of the white S-Class clearly had enough space to move to his left side. If he had done that, he wouldn’t have blocked the ambulance in the right shoulder, and the ambulance could travel for the next 120 feet smoothly.
A lot of people are commenting about the use of siren, I agree fully. However one thing that you do not know is that ambulances are required to follow a minimal noise policy, along with that they are only permitted to use Hi-Lo, Wail (manual only) and the horn, rarely anything else unless on a motorway, Unless the ambulance is privately owned. With those restrictors governing the vehicle operator it can affect his response, either with simply them or as a bonus the driver might fear getting sanctioned and refrain from using his ELS. Even with the siren on that doesnt help much, the siren is a 100w to 200w at max, and in chinese tradition, the speakers are not mounted properly. Along with that traffic & peds do not yield unless they absolutely have to, reason for this is the chinese mentality of "not my problem unless it effects me".
Personally I'm appalled by this performance, it's disgraceful when you think that there might be a human life on the line and every wasted second can make a difference if the injured lives or dies, I think if anything this example can be used as a learning tool as to what NOT to do. I do believe that if the driver was a little less distracted, made better decisions and kept the sirens on at all times (the service should probably upgrade their sirens and horn to something louder instead of the equivalent of a car alarm) are all factors for this slow response, 15 minutes in a life or death situation which it could very well have been is not slow, it's borderline negligent.
I’m pretty sure it would be a lot louder on the outside but through the glass but also the lights should be seen from far away and you make way as soon as you see them. Additionally, it could be made quiet by whatever is recording it.
In the US you have oversized roads due to your fire department’s insistence on using oversized trucks for no good reason. In the rest of the world our smaller emergency vehicles carry the same equipment. Your country just thinks bigger is better. There are also plenty of videos of US drivers behaving badly and refusing to move for emergency vehicles particularly your egotistical fire trucks.
I'm unsure of Chinese laws for vehicles. Pulling to the right if you are right hand drive makes the most sense IMO. Not sure if there are studies to back up the inverse. However there are plenty of instances the ambulance could use the full bike lane but people didnt seem to be aware of EMS ever taking this. That I was seeing two different mindsets and people didn’t know how to respond generally (to yield left or yield right).
wait ... "a first responder" - good. "take someone to hospital" - good. But this is not the task of a first responder. Guess why it say *first* responder rather than emergency ambulance?
The sirens should have been on from the start. To only use them as he did he almost caused multiple crash incidents because other drivers were unaware of his approach. He needs to go back to emergency training school. Thanks for the video though. It shows how different cultures react to emergency situations.
Theres a Policy in Chinese Ambulance Companies that Requires them to have Minimal Usage of Sirens unless Necessary because of Noise Pollution or something It was Mentioned in the Video
@CycloneProductions22 So people can die because emergency workers cannot get to the incident in time, or take a patient to hospital in time in case they disturb others through the sounds of the siren. That makes perfect sense doesn't it? Not !
@CycloneProductions22 Ah, so it is Chinese Government policy not the ambulance companies policy ? That makes more sense. We know there is over population in China.
I can no longer watch these videos. The absolute lack of respect for human life shown in some countries is dis-honorable, pathetic, and evil. I no longer have any respect for them, nor can that respect be re-earned.😡

That's the worst control of sirens and light that I have seen
The complete lack of awareness baffles me.

The driver is clearly not using his sirens enough.
Still no excuse for the lack of perception by other drivers.
this might be the worst siren I´ve heard
Yer... probably was and I bet...."Made In China" ?
😂😂😂
@Sparks1Plumbers0 yeah probably
The sound isn’t as important as intensity
Sounds like my car alarm going off lol.
one big error here is not keeping the lights and noise on constantly.
And seeing pedestrians walking towards an upcoming ambulance without slowing down is a horror situation to me.
But then again, I am Dutch so I am used to better road behavior.
The driver has to pay for the electricity used for lights and sirens.
@@tairikuokami LMFAOOO
Please tell me thats a joke@@tairikuokami

3:10 Crazy. A mother with a child walking along the middle lane.

glad i am living in the netherlands and even we ar nagging about our traffic and response
The Audi that honks back is crazy!!

Both the lights and the sirens are rather underwhelming.
No, the driver of the white S-Class clearly had enough space to move to his left side. If he had done that, he wouldn’t have blocked the ambulance in the right shoulder, and the ambulance could travel for the next 120 feet smoothly.
can you show maybe an video from Germany? ❤❤❤❤❤

Needs to learn how to use the sirens and only pull over if it's safe to do so.
You knwo you’re in china with roads filled with cars wider than the US and unresponsive traffic

Can u get one from Trinidad and Tobago ?
Very bad driving. Apparently the driver is not qualified for operating an emergency vehicle.
wait ... "a first responder" - good.
"take someone to hospital" - good. But this is not the task of a first responder. Guess why it say *first* responder rather than emergency ambulance?
Because he is a volunteer.
Is the driver shy or do they have different rules than we do for emergency vehicles?
As far as i know, Chinese Ambulances has a Noise Regulation policy which requires Ambulances to use Minimal Siren Usage unless Necessary
This is terrible Road Reading, Traffic Awareness and lack of how to use all his warning assets.Obviously not attended a Blue Light Driving course.
The sirens should have been on from the start. To only use them as he did he almost caused multiple crash incidents because other drivers were unaware of his approach. He needs to go back to emergency training school.

@@creator000 it makes sense ofc
But we can't do anything if the Chinese Government have a Strict Policy about Noise Pollution
@CycloneProductions22 Ah, so it is Chinese Government policy not the ambulance companies policy ? That makes more sense. We know there is over population in China.
Where is the police help people would help more if they helped with transporting the sick children
I haven’t finished yet but this is terrible response from the people.
It's funny like the Presidents in the east doesn't care about their citicens. i'M TALKING ABOUT Pakistan, india, China and Russia
Crap use of sirens and horn! Poordriving
Before 8:48 it was ok but overall yes quite bad, on both the driver and the people in vehicles
No forewarning using a siren is just bad driving, this must be the worst POV I seen on this chamnel.
Ah yes, the "country's NOT to visit in case of an emergency" channel!
I can no longer watch these videos. The absolute lack of respect for human life shown in some countries is dis-honorable, pathetic, and evil. I no longer have any respect for them, nor can that respect be re-earned.😡
pls pin IAM first and Big fan❤
