Qashqai driver at 5:32 takes the award for most situationally aware on this tape. Moves over well in advance, correct signal and just sits there. Wouldn't be surprised if he or she is already an blue light driver, but the response was spot-on. I wish all motorists were as switched-on as this, our ambulances, police cars and fire crew would get to scene much quicker.
1st clip is awesome, love the fiat vans at 5:29 and at 8:38 and the other times to, the rainbow came at the right time to show the love and support the NHS are giving us right now! sick one again - keep the good work up man
One thing that is shown on some of these clips is that some of the latest siren fits are almost inaudible inside a vehicle, not until the emergency vehicle is practically along you. In my home town of Bristol ambulances and older fire engines can be heard from a good distance, whilst police have to be on top of you to be heard.
That's why I love the nice big Federal-Q mechanical siren on the bumper of my Engine... :) It doesn't matter how sound-proof a vehicle is or how loud it's stereo is... the Q literally vibrates the teeth of the car's driver.
7:54 to date this premier hazard is the best siren I’ve heard in the UK to date. It reverberates in a way no other siren does, wide open or built up areas it’s so effective
@@danielbooth2982 a rumbler, howler or hammer is basically a low frequency speaker for sirens, so there are whelen howler, feniex hammer, federal signal rumbler etc.
Each force used to have it's own livery, albeit mostly variations of a central horizontal stripe, with different forces using different colours for the fluorescent main stripe and reflective edging, some using all reflective (Durham), others with a central reflective stripe over the fluorescent as well as to the edge (Leicestershire, Met Police), some with additional reflective blue and white chequer along the bottom sill (S.Yorks) and others for quite a while retaining 70's style minimalist marking on non traffic cars (Devon & Cornwall). The late 90's saw a move to the current 'Battenburg' on Roads Policing Vehicles (initially voluntarily, West Yorkshire's Police Authority originally resisted it and only put rear chevron part of the livery on to save money and held out with the yellow 6" fluorescent stripe and 1" engineering grade blue reflective edging for a while, eventually it became national standard) with the 2000's seeing the development of 'half battenburg' which was slowly phased in across all marked vehicles.
3:00 I'm upset, why did they get a vehicle that is basically set up for Germany but imported to the UK? The lights are practically not seen, only the front with the lights of the grille and the dashboard and wing wang, transparent blue plastic across the entire width of the roof and then having two cemetery lights at the 4 corners, at this point they could put the Martin Tone and here you go
what's the big deal about it? The one at 9:30 is typical German as well, but is still used in some places in the UK. Seems a lot easier in the UK to purchase what they want to have, guess that's why there's a much wider range of car brands, models and conversion brands seen in the UK than you see in Germany
Perhaps the variety of warning is caused by us becoming so used to the current tones we become unresponsive. It's easy to introduce different tones electronically. I believe that certain police motorcycle groups use whistles to announce their presence. On a slightly lighter note, I've driven ambulances with two tone airhorns and a bell! ( yes, I am that old, so were the vehicles! ).
I read somewhere that NYC is looking into doing away with the rumbler. They did tests and discovered that it does not improve response time and also in an attempt to have less siren noise in the city.
@@justinglenn69 I think the US has gone too far with sirens so people just become immune to all the noise. With those fed Q sirens and massive air horns the public are more unresponsive then ever.
Good vid. But ticked off about the campervan driver, who clearly saw the medic coming but instead of pulling to the left before the roundabout I'm guessing, decided to ignore and carry on, selfish ....
If you are in Indonesian, it will be difficult to find a vehicle that willingly gives its way to priority vehicles such as the ambulance, because here if we give way to a passing ambulance, there must be many vehicles following behind the ambulance. and not to mention there are illegal ambulance escort motorbikes with an arrogant attitude and not full of calculations when stopping a speeding vehicle.
Love the video! I don't suppose you have a green light gp out of hours car video do you? I can't seem to find one anywhere and would love to see the green lights going! Thanks again 🙂
Can someone help me, I recently saw an SWP Peugeot 5008 and an SWP Skoda Superb. Just wondering what units they belong to. I think the 5008 was on loan.
@@dragonemergencyvideos cheers for that, how do you know these things? Also it’s odd that they use cars for driver training that aren’t actually used by the force. Surely it would be easier to train drivers on cars that they would be using day to day.
@@dj_james170 Got a mate down in driver training, seen them use them 2 cars. Yeah they've always used weird cars for training that are never actually used on the job 🤷♂️who knows why
Sounds like the police in the Need for Speed Most Wanted 2005 and carbon, if anyone here have played those. I have a clip here for reference th-cam.com/video/KVI1cstr8T4/w-d-xo.html
I could be wrong, but because of it's age, markings and response kit (the siren is obviously not current) I suspect its a Service Loan Vehicle. Whenever any of our DCAs, RRVs or IRVs require a service or are off the road due to being in a prang, deep clean/decontamination or a mechanical fault we get a loaner from a central pool provided by Fleet Services. They tend to be older because they don't clock up as many miles, less wear and tear and they are obviously maintained to a very high standard, so they are retained on the books as they do the job perfectly well. It's in very good nick for an 2011, and must admit the old school tones did make me smile.
hi-lo is still sometimes used in the UK, but not as common as you might think. In fact only very few countries in Europe are either limited to the use of hi-lo or primarily use hi-lo; Most allow both wail/yelp and hi-lo to be used, while again some countries allow only wail/yelp sirens

8:35 is the best bit. No arguments. It's the NHS throught this whole pandemic all at once

What there kinda cool tho

Its broad sunshine against yellow so of course its hard to see
Because the company that does the conversion (WAS) is also German.

Of more than one vehicle is responding together in convoy it identifies this and people hear sounds differently to helps everyone be aware.

Nice vid bro u make good content keep up the great work
Thanks mate
Brilliant video, you need to frame that at 8:35 and send it to West Midlands Ambulance
Agreed. Brilliant shot and would look great either as a screensaver or printed, framed and hung in the break room or even in the bays.
That's not a bad idea 👍
I could actually see that being on an advert, you never know!
Another Awesome Video!
Thanks for watching!

Awesome catches mate!

Hello, what siren modulators are used by British emergency services?
Don’t get it. Which of these was supposed to be “weird” exactly?
The one at 1:06 isn’t weird they use those sirens or similar ones in America all the time
This isn't America tho 😂
Officially sounds american 🤣🤣
Not at all
Especially given the one at 7:17 is absolutely an American siren. Whelen or Federal, not sure which, but it’s definitely American.
Why do the siren speakers sound so weird, I know majority of those sirens are whelen but they sound different
I like how so many of them are different keeps it interesting 👍
