[POV] ROOKIE Ambulance Driver Put to the Test

Welcome. Today we are in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. We are joining this crew of first responders for an emergency driving training through the city. The streets are busy and crowded, so our driver will have to do his best to get their fast and save.
We pass the first few intersections without any trouble. Other drivers pull over to the side of the road when they notice the ambulance in their mirrors.
🚨 If you’re fascinated by sirens, flashing lights, and the critical work of first responders, you’re in the right place. Our channel provides a unique perspective-literally-from the driver’s seat of police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks. We collect various videos from all over the world and add insightful context and commentary.

This is actually not an ambulance.
But the Danish Police schools, emergency driver training.
Love from Denmark, and keeper the videos going 🚑🚓🚒

[@57thorns]

Looks the same to an outsider, by design.

[@mikkolukas]

@@57thorns hopefully one can see the difference between an ambulance and a police car?

[@57thorns]

@@mikkolukas Hopefully. I suppose what you say is that it was a police car and not an ambulance.

[@57thorns]

@@mikkolukas And as I stans corrected, the fact this presenter did not have any idea what this really was indicated that the material is not something they actually had proper permission to use.

[@runeh-s1447]

Car is a vw passat, driving instructor is Kurt Mark (infamously clever instructor) and its not an ambulance training, it is the danish police academys traning. They usually start out in Brøndby, at the school.

[@mikkolukas]

Kurt Mark's videos are teaching material, showing how calm driving with good attention can get an emergency vehicle faster through traffic than just keeping the speed up.
The learner driver continually tells the instructor about what he observes, what he plans to do.

[@57thorns]

7,6 km, 16 minutes without traffic according to Google. It is interesting to notice how hard it seems to be for cross traffic to notice an emergency vehicle.

[@MrShadow1617]

Loud music, talking to someone else on a phone call through the cars hands free system, other distractions, etc. Sometimes, when the driver also went into oncoming lanes, the waiting traffic also blocked the view of him for cross traffic. That truck driver went hard into his brakes, based on how much the cab moved, so the bus blocked his view of the emergency vehicle for quite a while. Thats another reason why emergency vehicles have to slow down and assess the situation at the intersection to make sure everybody saw him.

[@57thorns]

@@MrShadow1617 Very good points.

[@Demun1649]

I found the adrenaline returning, and I did press the brake pedal VERY hard twice. I loved the brown/black van that stopped, blocking access from the side street onto the road. Thinking driver. The drivers over there seem to be better trained than the majority of British drivers. Our learners get taught to pass an easy test, not how to drive.

[@geoffreyguez]

I never thought about the fact emergency driving require training, nice to know !

[@oronzodanielceglie5973]

Really?🤣What do you think they just put anybody behind the wheel driving an emergency vehicle? How naive

[@petec737]

Loool

[@coover65]

This is really interesting. In Australia, intern paramedics don't get to do priority driving so spend a year watching how it's done. All driver training including skid pan work etc. is done at a training centre.

[@type17]

3:58 Good reactions by surrounding drivers - they all follow the LOLO rule - Leave Open Lanes Open - if there is an empty turn lane beside you when an EMS vehicle comes towards you, DON'T move into that lane - let the EMS vehicle use it.

[@Shhhhhhhhhhh75]

As a dane i truly hope you will do more from Denmark. It would also be nice if you made something from a rural area

[@altaylor3988]

Excellent

[@user-dw5hn5nd1k]

Nice video!🏥🚑👍

[@The-Vigilante-and-the-Fox]

it was fantastic to see and I also got to see a bit of the city I live in Fredericia and not in Copenhagen but the thing about pushing the horn while the car was driving yes I never hear that when someone is driving by so yes it will work when he is new to the job 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰

[@n3viem]

you can tell a lot about country by how the drivers react

[@dieselbeema4255]

A very good video. Would it be fair to day that Denmark's drivers react to emergency vehicles at least as well as in any other country? Traffic just disappeared. Do we know the type of vehicle used here?

[@mikkolukas]

It is a police car. Probably a Volkswagen. You can see one model of a Danish police car at 3:23

[@madmax6220]

Why did he keep switching the sirene. It felt very random to me.

[@Shhhhhhhhhhh75]

It's a button inside the car, so it's automatic and not manual. Hope that cleared it up!

[@Badger-w8u]

Where was the black van ???

[@Westcountrynordic]

A few seconds before he said about it

[@oronzodanielceglie5973]

Traffic in Copenhagen?😅😅😅Why don't you try New York or Los Angeles now that's traffic believe me. The entire country of Of Denmark has 6 million in population which is less than the 8 1/2 million in New York City alone. That's not traffic that's a bunch of car that just happened to be together at that moment.

[@ogginator]

What the point of this comment??
Sure Denmarks entire population is smaller the NYC but that doesn't change the fact that their could still be traffic jams. Our cities here in Europe wasn't made for cars, trucks etc unlike most of yours in the States. Denmarks capital city Copenhagen is older then UsA as a country. Ofc there will be trafic jams then even if the cities population is only ~700k. Small roads together with compact houses.
I don't get your point of your comment.

[@oronzodanielceglie5973]

Well that is your Problem if you don't get the point.. if you not smart enough to understand I'm not going to waste my time explaining it to you

[@ogginator]

@@oronzodanielceglie5973 lol what? That's one of the most idiotic shit i have heard.
The only reason for you not wanting to tell me is that you don't know. Prove me wrong, i dare you.
Is it really that wierd that i don't understand what you mean? I have never been to USA to see whit my own eyes to so cal obvious thing you say....

[@Suppagappa]

@@oronzodanielceglie5973​​⁠​​⁠​⁠Classic American, complains about others ”stupidity”, yet they can’t even spell correctly. How embarrassing. Add in a sprinkle of superiority complex and bam!
You can ask a question for additional information, and you can ask a question because you don’t know what to do with the information. The other guy falls into the former category, and you, my friend, fall into the latter.

[@Shhhhhhhhhhh75]

​@@Suppagappadid you take writing classes or smth, because that was very well written
