[POV] NO Room for MISTAKES With This Special Escort

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 มิ.ย. 2024
- Welcome back! Today we are back in the Netherlands to join the elite motorcycle escorting officers of Team Traffic. This escort will be different from the regular escorts you've witnessed on our channel. Can you guess what makes this escort so special?
We start our journey in downtown The Hague and we will make our way to Schiphol airport located just south of Amsterdam. This special escort requires a larger team of officers. This time they are not only responsible for getting the escorted vehicles fast and smooth to their destination, but they are also in charge of additional safety and security along the way. The team uses different tactics while navigating through the city. Within city limits the team instructs other drivers on intersections to keep driving in order to get the road ahead free of traffic. They also retain a slower pace then regular traffic and the officer tailing the escort doesn't allow anyone to overtake. This tactic prevents malicious drivers from getting too close to the escorted vehicles. Outside city limits the team can decide to let other traffic overtake them, but this is dependent on traffic density.

how nice of the VIP to come and thank them.
But not so nice of her bodyguard to let his guard down and sneak a picture 😅
Did anyone else notice the manual road book on the bike like they use in the Dakar race
Nice to see familiar territory. It gives a different understanding of the road taken.
03:10 waiting for a stopped car before blocking with the motorcycle. That's smart.
think this might actually be policy now as some years ago one of them got hit by some moron on his phone blocking a highway lane
@@jasperbaba I think I have seen that video and it’s where my mind went to. Yikes.
I was so confused why he was slowing down "random" traffic, only to find out the actual escort was on the highway on the left at 21:30 and he had only taken the off-ramp to slow down the traffic that was going to merge in later!
yeah, in the netherlands we have parallel highways on parts with many on/offramps that tend to congest so there is a non congested route for traffic that does not need those on/offramps
great videos! i always wanted to have a channel subbed that is from this kind! keep up the great work and thanks for your efforts
Thanks!
most Dutch drivers react quickly (yellow license plates), foreign drivers (white license plates) react too slowly!
dutch drivers are used to police escorts, as there are a lot of them happening mostly due to ambulance needing them, not so much in other countries, so thats why other drivers with white license plates might react too slowly.
@@MrShadow1617 blue lights = move over. simple as that. pay attention to your mirrors
I'm a motorcycle driver myself for 38 years, and yes, it's a problem. Alot of people don't go to the right lane. But it's also a point that the cops doesn't do a thing about it. And I don't mean the escorting team, but normale traffic bunnys. Left drivers, mostly playing with their phones, are the most heard complain over here. I drive a bmw k75rt myself, with an yellow jacket, and they don't see you, or don't give a shit.
In Germany it’s much different with em
@peetkoolstra3891 with other words, you're always driving too fast 😂
Even tho agree with you, it's not the fault of the police. They are breaking the law by driving too long on the wrong line and you (and I) are breaking to law by speeding. 😋
Ugh, several times you can see drivers moving back to the left lane right behind the officer *smh
Well most would assume that there is an emergency rather than an escort, normally there's no issue with moving back after he passes
That's why there is more than one!
Took me some euro's and convincing, but definitely the best start of my vacation trip ever!
Really awesome to see the VIP walk to the police officer's and thank them. THIS is why I love Ukraine, out of many other reasons. 🥰🥰🥰
You know she was the American vice president 🤦♂️
Great job officers
Those highways and surrounding featers are aesthatically pleasing !
Outstanding police motorcycle riders
Love the video🔥 blue light alone is also emergency vehicle tho
Yes and no. Light and sound is needed to count as an emergency vehicle with the right of way.
Without one or both of them it's an emergency vehicle which has to yield. The police is exempt of all traffic rules, but need to take extra care and others aren't obliged to move out of their way.
In the Netherlands, a police vehicle with its lights on but no siren is not considered an emergency vehicle that must be given the right of way under Dutch traffic laws. For a police vehicle to be officially recognized as an emergency vehicle requiring immediate right of way, it must use both its blue lights and siren. Same thing in Finland
13:27 Soooo true. As a resident in The Netherlands with my driving license for nearly 15 years, "middenbaan-plakkers" (people glued to the middle lane) are infuriating. MOVE TO THE RIGHT LANE! It's not just for Trucks...
since they were going to the airport i figured it had to be some sort of VIP
Dutch people care more when it is an ambulance... 😂
I believe it would have been beneficial to maintain the use of the siren throughout most of this particular mission but other times turning the siren off when not needed ist a great way of reducing noise pollution. Also turning off the blue emergency lights completely is unnessecary danger for the police and other drivers.
Well done officers. It doesn't matter what country you are in. I used to like riding bikes I. D never had the skill to you do.😊😊😊😊😊
You hear sirens and/or see the lights you move over. It is second nature for most Dutch. Sure... this time it is "just" an escort but for all you know it is a llive or death situation.
And yes, it was pretty clear by origin and destination this either had to be a Royal or a foreign dignitary/politician.
We also have those black squares above the highways, they can put speeds or a red X on it,
These guys are doing awesome work , i do have to Congrats the men of the infrastructure road departement also
Those tunnels at 2:15 - with the transitions from brilliant sunlight, to dark and back to brilliant sunlight - are scary at that speed. I'm sure it's not as extreme as it looks in the video, but all the same...
You have the same problem as we in the UK do with drivers NOT paying attention to their mirrors .
in the uk it is now an offence and a police officer can give you a TOR traffic offence report which includes a fine and points on your licence
In The Netherlands we had years ago a lot of traffic control by police. Too long on the left and you can be sure of a ticket. Since a year or 4 no more. Don't know why. And as stated in the video, it is very annoying they drive for miles in the middle lane.
Ypenburg would have been closer by, but alas.
people camping in the left lane is not just an issue in the Netherlands in the US you are supposed to keep right except to pass but people drive in the left lane often times below the speed limit
The shitty lane discipline on the A4 looks so familiar as I drive there often... It seems as if the regular traffic wants to say: we've got 3 or 4 lanes, we're gonna make sure to use them as prominently as possible. Don't tell anyone, but if there's slow moving traffic in lane 1 or 2, and one can pass safely in lane 3 or 4 respectively, it would be relatively harmless to do so.
I like to see motorcade escorts too.
Great job from the escort!
However, I am of the opinion that whether you are a VIP or not, if you don't have an emergency - you should use the roads like any other citizen without involving emergency lights.
Criticism aside - it's interesting to see how an escort operates. Thanks for the insight.
13:55 not only in the neatherlands, england too. Middle lane huggers 😡
maybe nice to tell is that these video's can be used to fine those who do not move lanes when the signals are used. The fine will be send to the own
Failure to give right of way to priority vehicle (350 euros). The fine will be sent to the owner of the vehicle, who can share it with the driver. If the driver does not pay, the owner remains liable.
I guessed it was likely a political person (VIP) due to going from Den Hague to Schipol.
Kamala Harris
We have the same problems in the UK and yet the police do nothing to catch these drivers.
13:30 on access-controlled highways or dual carriageways with three or more lanes in the same direction, drivers are NOT required to drive in the rightmost lane (that is also in that same law). The motorcycle policeman is clearing out traffic that is hesitant on overtaking or got startled because the motorcycle is going 200km/h where traffic goes 100. People, especially inattentive ones, get startled and scared because they are being pinched from two sides - the vehicle they're overtaking, and the policeman. The solution is to give gas and overtake briskly, if you ever find yourself in that situation.
Unbelievable, all unnecessary driving on the left. 1) They are texting 2) me, me, me and the rest can't get enough 3) they don't give a shit about traffic rules
About nr3 : maybe they do, but i think most of them are brainless morons.
They use the left lane because overtaking from the right is illegal. In that way they create free lanes ahead. It has nothing to do with breaking traffic rules.
@@arnoldpalthe3915 I can imagine in your explanation. But in this country, driving far left lane totally unnecessary is also illegal.
@@berenteelsing2422 Police officers are exempted from traffic rules, in other words they may ignore them provided they do not create dangerous situations for others.
17:42 he is getting the white car to the right but if you look in the mirror you can see him going back onto the left lane.
I'm so confused on this one
16:12 bro gave the wrong turn signal
fckn VIP's mesisng with poeple's daily lives, just as usual.
I see these guys in action in the Hague fairly regularly, and they're pretty good: disruption to traffic is minimal, and over in seconds. What does cause disruption is when they mark the left highway lane closed on the overhead signs. They didn't do that in this case; I think it's only for the most urgent medical transports.
I mean it was the American vice president 🤦♂️
@@lukaspaasilinna7092 he /they should have stayed at the airport, there are nice conference rooms there.
I don't understand why the matrix signs (VMS's) were not used to clear the left lane on the highways.
Setting traffic lights on red or green. They can do that already at least 25 years.
Since it was a VIP escort related with Ukraine maybe they thought it was better to not give away any info for possible attacks? It could also be that the VMS are part of a different agency and they don't have an easy way to collaborate with other emergency institutions, or another bureaucratic issue.
@Tanks_In_Space plus if the lane is closed of and a car breaks down in that lane there's no warning for the motorcyclists who think they have a clear lane
the country is too small to do this properly. Sadly it also gives false hope. The ambulance, escort or who ever might speed up because the lane is closed. However they wont know if an accident has happened cause the same crosses will show. Also many drivers ignore the crosses making it even more dangerous
They probably don't do that because it causes far more disruption to traffic (as will changing the traffic lights remotely).
They do use the matrix signs sometimes on the A13, but only for medical transports I think. At it usually causes a nasty traffic jam.
I still don't know who the VIP was.
The Hague looks like a really pretty place.
Putin should really look forward to spending some time there.
Escorting the president
Vice President Kamala Harris
Middle lane owner’s club again!
Rechts blijven rijden ben je verplicht, zo heb ik het tenminste geleerd.
Je wilt niet weten hoeveel auto's (inclusief vrachtwagens met zowel Nederlandse als Oost-Europese en vooral ook snelle busjes) ik 's morgens op werkdagen op weg naar mijn werk op de A16 vanaf Galder tot Rotterdam op de middelste en linker baan aantref die het vertikken om terug te gaan naar rechts.
Zij realiseren zich kennelijk niet dat zij het file probleem mede creëren.
Misschien een idee voor de spitsers om iedere ochtend een paar keer een "veeg" actie uit te voeren en tevens wat camerabeelden te gebruiken voor het toekennen aan hardnekkige plakkers van de linkerbaan met een boete!
Zoals met veel dingen in Nederland, als de pakkans rigoreus omhoog gaat, gaat men zich er wel aan houden.
Citaat:
"Onnodig links rijden of niet rechts aanhouden is een verkeersovertreding in het Nederlandse wegverkeer en staat beschreven in het Reglement verkeersregels en verkeerstekens 1990 onder artikel 3. De wet zegt dat alle bestuurders, op een weg met twee of meer rijstroken in dezelfde rijrichting, in de meest rechterrijstrook moeten rijden. Voor het overtreden van deze regel geldt anno 2022 een boetebedrag van €220"
jesus christ I also wanne be able to legally drive 200kmph on the highway
Iff they dont have blue Light on or siran you dont have to make space. I dont know why they dont have there sirens on.. ????
Reason why people stay in the midde lane because of speed limit . If we could go faster without a ticket the slower people will stay right .
Yeah, right 😂
@@hl9148 no, not right. In our country it is illegal to overtake on the right side. That is why the officers use the left lane: to create a free passage ahead.
It's the trucks man, the trucks!
Motor 1 isn't moving.
😊👮♂🚓🚔🚨
If they'd put the VIP on the bike or in side car, they'd be faster 😜
yes and this would also make it easier to hit the target as sniper
@@Walter_ Snipers shoot XLVVIP not VIP :)
For an ambulance escort I always have deep respect. For a socalled VIP its just a waste of recources. I mean,when they just go by car as I have to do, your 10 minutes later at the airport....
Rutte on his way to NATO headquarters.
Müsste es in Deutschland auch geben.
The VIP could have gone to the airport a couple of hours early, just like everyone has to when they catch a plane......without the help of a police escort.
It's not just about saving time, it is about safety too.
Kamala Harris needs protection
All this commentary yet if you watch the sideview mirror all the cars got back into the same lane as the officer basically do nothing.
That looked and sounded like Kamala Harris
9:00 That’s not totally true. Also with only the lights (which were already on), it counts as a priority vehicle. The siren just helps to let people know in a (very) loud way that they are coming trough. Most times on the highway you don’t even really hear the sirens when you are driving the car.
In the Netherlands, a police vehicle with its lights on but no siren is not considered an emergency vehicle that must be given the right of way under Dutch traffic laws. For a police vehicle to be officially recognized as an emergency vehicle requiring immediate right of way, it must use both its blue lights and siren. Same thing in Finland
At 13:50 and on, voice over says traffic does not use the extreme right lane; of course they don't. If they do without a reason it carries a hefty fine. That lane is reserved for emergency vehicles only.
yeah, none of this would work in the US where people Camp the left lane more than the homeless population on a street corner
@@K9-Aura The reason is very simple: the law says: keep to the right, even on multilane highways.
@@K9-Aura I was talking about the situation in the Netherlands,
European Parliament should make a law that all sirens in EU are the same
No, it is literally pointless. You move over for a siren whatever it is.
WE DON'T WANT THE F'ING EU, NOR THE EP!!!
Please no. The German police siren is terrible. In cities it bounces of the buildings so you can't pinpoint the direction it's coming from.
It's a shame we don't have 3 different sirens for the police, ambulance and fire department as we used to have. That helped in feeling the distance / speed it was coming at you too. But those were harder to hear in the newer, better isolated cars.
rechtsrijden verplicht en links rijden frustrerend... en toch zie ik nooit dat er boetes gegeven worden. dat is ook frustrerend. sterker nog... wanneer zie je politie?
hier en ze hebben nog ontheffing ook.
@@arnoldpalthe3915 ja duh... wat wil je dan ? dat als ze achter een fietser aan zitten die het park in gaat dat ze de motor neerzetten en verder gaan lopen. of dat als ze te hulp geroepen bij een winkeldiefstal in een niet-auto gebied, dat ze een parkeerplek gaan zoeken? of dat als ze op de snelweg achter iemand aan zitten, ze geen gebruik mogen maken van de vluchtstrook? is dat wat je bedoelt? ik kijk uit naar je antwoord. (eigenlijk niet... ik kijk eerder uit naar het aanpassen van je reactie want ik hou niet van dom gelul)
08:59 you are wrong! in the Netherlands if you only have blue lights on you also need to get out of the way! and you are an emergency vehicle!
It's only partially wrong. The correct term he should have used is a priority vehicle (or 'voorrangsvoertuig' in Dutch). When a vehicle only uses blue lights, or no lights at all, it's not considered a priority vehicle and thus you don't have to move out off the way. Only when using blue lights in combination with a siren, it is considered a priority vehicle meaning you have to move out off the way.
On the other hand, when an officer is only using blue lights, this doesn't mean you should just continue driving as normal. When they do this, it is still best to move out of the way. But if you don't do this, you couldn't be fined since you haven't done anything against the law.
Source for the definition of a priority vehicle is Dutch law RVV 1990, article 1 -> 'Voorrangsvoertuig'
Only with both lights and sirens. Though if the police gives you a stop sign or signals you to move aside, you must listen even without lights or sirens
No. You do should pay attention when you only see blue lights. But a 'priority vehichle' only can take priority when using blue lights + sirens.
@@ReneAltena So unless you can hear sirens, then you just carry on as normal pretty much, but if you do hear sirens you move over. Once they passed, move back to your original lane, ez
@@nekotranslates With only blue lights, you should still move over. The only difference compared to sirens is that it isn't illegal to ignore it, but if you do ignore it you're acting like a dickhead.
this reminds me why i hate politics so much
Could you please learn how to properly pronounce Schipol, it drives me nuts every time you say it wrong.
For many overseas people the correct pronunciation is not easy to say as the combination of characters has a different pronunciation to Dutch or other Germanic languages like Afrikaans. An example of such could be when saying the word “van” in Afrikaans the pronunciation is different with the “v” pronounced more like an “f”. Being able to speak Afrikaans I can understand the frustration at foreigners mispronouncing names. 😂😂😂
schie😅 pol
All for VIP, they should the same as anyone else go with flow of traffic. !!
