Mate , we really do not want our country covered in advertising and garish signs. No no no.
Ambulance is written backwards on the bonnet so that it can be read in the rear view mirror
If the bright yellow, howling banshee steaming up someones rear hasnt given it away and they need ambulance backwards to give it away, those people shouldnt be on the road ;)
Ambulances don’t always come steaming up someone’s rear end with the the siren howling like a banshee, it depends on the situation with the patient on board, some have to drive more slowly or only sound the siren intermittently.
@@knowlesy3915they don't always have their sirens screaming and there are deaf people who like to drive and people who like to blast music in their cars
I guess jokes dont exist in 2024. They did back when Jack Dee said something similar.
@@knowlesy3915 I see. Well if Jack Dee said it as a joke then I get your angle. I apologise and will delete my comment... all the best.
Yellow and blue = police
Yellow and green = medical
Yellow and red = fire
Red and green i think is medical emergency trauma unit
Unlike USA drivers, European drivers are aware of other vehicles around them as they use their rear view mirrors etc..... The ECNALUBMA on the front of an ambulance is so people that look in their mirrors, can see what they should be getting the f out of the way of. 101 for non emergency - 999 for any emergency service - 111 for non emergency medical issues.
That soccer mom car that doesn't look fast is a custom built rapid response vehicle.
I've driven the normal/civilian model, comfortable drive, I'd imagine you could very comfortable do 130mph or so on the motorway.
@@wulfgoldand the rest
@@MostlyPennyCat comfortable for me ;)
@@wulfgold comfortably chasing down bad guys
@@MostlyPennyCat 🤣
IT's written backwards so when a driver looks in their mirror it reads the right way.
All emergency services have fully reflective decals but the person filming didn't have a light over the camera So it wasn't visible
got it
@@CVTECK1
Specifically they're retro reflectors which bounce light exactly back along the path it arrived.
Hence, no camera light no reflected light.
The emergency vehicle may look like normal cars but they are specials from the manufacturers built to police specs. Ambulance written backwards so it looks normal in mirrors of cars in front of them. If Ambulance looks like a van then it's full of specialised equipment and Ambulance cars are normally specialised medics.
999 is the emergency number and 101 is for none emergency.
The police cars are all regular spec, there's no money for special vehicles
@lloydcollins6337 wrong. They have them unlimited unlike stock cars the public buys. They also have a good majority of the police equipment fitted at same time.
Our emergency number is 999, i think the other number was a non emergency number.
The small ambulances are rapid response vehicles.
Designed to deal with trauma injuries like stabbing, shooting, an amputated leg, serious car crash.
They are usually doctors, instead of paramedics.
As they can provide a wider range of medications and conduct procedures the paramedics are not trained to do. 😉
They are both Paramedics and Doctors who work as a team
Only HEMS and BASICs vehicles have doctors who work with critical care paramedics. Any ambulance service RRV are usually staffed with a paramedic but can be techs or even ECAs
07:58 That road sign indicates that the road you are on is the A580 (an "A" road) that will intersect further on with the A5049.
The first line under that informs you that the distance to St Helens is 3 miles and because it too is NOT in brackets that St Helens can be reached via the A580 with no need to turn off onto the A5049.
The next three destinations ARE in brackets so this indicates that they are reached by taking the exit onto the A5049 further down the road.
Simple, logical and it just WORKS! 🙂
i got so proud of seeing my home town St Helens and i know exactly where that place is the a580 is also know as the east lancs road
All police, fire and ambulances have blue lights.
AS do Coastguard, search and rescue Ie Mountain/ river rescue, Military bomb disposal, etc.
The black car you asked about was a Renault, the same make as the one you read Megane on, Megane is the model, Renault is the make. The police cars are a mix of BMWs, Skodas Volvos and Vauxhalls, they may look like a soccer mums cars, but they are high performance and capable of 150-160mph.
That's pretty good wow
@@CVTECK1 If you want to see the latest emergency vehicle, "Gravity Industries, Paramedic Mountain Rescue".
The emergency services have different vehicles to use, depending on the incident that they are attending. The ambulance service also has paramedic cars which are smaller and faster than the bigger ambulances. The police have traffic cars, armed response vehicles, and bigger vans for carrying prisoners or for riot control. The fire department also have large trucks for carrying rescue equipment.
You wrote paramdic, it is spelt as paramedic
@@Suzanne-ds7wqObviously a typo. I have corrected it, hope that meets with your aproval.
Ambulances are free too
Free oh man..It's $100 per call here lol
Not free, we pay for "free" health care with high taxes. But im cool with that.
@@chrissyboi88b free at point of uses.
@chrissyboi88b fine by me I'd rather the paramedic feel for my pulse rather than for my wallet 😁
@@bravo2zero796haaaaaaaa
The first police vehicle is a Volvo T5.
It’s unrestricted so it can reach speeds up to 150mph.
Those vehicles are often used on the highways 😉
That triggered me so much when he said it's like a soccer mom's car!! Later, he doesn't recognise a Mercedes! Maybe they just don't know European cars like BMW and Mercedes in the US?
999 Is Emergency number and 101 non Emergency number.
ahhhh thanks
our emergency lights are EU wide They are all blue lights foreward and red on back the decals are reflective. .
One of the reasons for so many variations in design is the fact that the UK consists of 4 different countries.
The ambulance service have different vehicles for different roles
The large boxy ambulance is your standard response ambulance with EMTs in it
There is a Rapid Response Paramedic who drives a high performance station wagon, they only carry basic kit to stabilise a critically ill person until an ambulance arrives, but can arrive on scene much faster than a larger ambulance and begin CPR, blood stopping etc
You also have Advanced Paramedics who can administer more power hospital grade drugs and attend the most serious trauma cases
You saw a few Air Ambulance support cars in the video, they shadow the air ambulance helicopter from the ground and act as a ground support vehicle ferrying supplies and equipment from the helicopter to the trauma scene - because often the helicopter must land away from the scene
There are also doctors and anesthesiologists on call for cases where a patient needs to be put into a medical coma on the scene - they are driven by specially trained drivers in high performance station wagons
The air ambulance cars are used only when the helicopter can't fly due to weather, darkness etc. Local ferrying is done by ambulance or police crews already on the scene.
you also have even more specialist roles like "hart(hazardous area response team)" and they deal with water rescue, chemical spills, riots, terrorist incidents, fire, offroad(in the woods ect), patient extraction(whether its down a well or a critical patient from a house) and ect. they have a lot of extra tools for this role like gas masks and oxygen, inflatable boats, atv's, lifting kit ect. there was a tv show all about it and going along with them to calls. searching "999 Rescue Squad Emergency Response Team" should get some episodes if interested
All Emergency Response vehicles in the UK are fitted with Blue Lights. Everyone in the UK is taught to look out for those bad boys, and listen for the two-tones/sirens and get their asses out of the way. On call doctors, in non-response vehicles are fitted with green lights. All Ambulances, Fire Trucks and Police Vehicles are also fitted with red lights that alternate between blue and red when stationary to warn other road users of their presence. Coastguard and Mountain rescue vehicles are also fitted with light bars to again, warn other road users to get out of the way.
The first 'Ambulance' is probably not an ambulance at all, it may be doing stuff like moving urgent blood supplies around, or other urgent supplies from one location to another.
Good info thank you
Ambulance is written backwards so drivers using their rear view mirror can read it easily.
Ambulances come in different shapes and sizes and are free to callout.
In the UK it's 999 for emergency and 101 for none emergency and the car in the first clip is a volvo traffic car and is definitely not slow it as a top speed of about 155
The ambulance van in the first video was a support vehicle for major incidents - it'll carry extra supplies, specialist kit etc.
I'd expect if it was an ambulance for carrying casualties, it would be lemon yellow.
In The UK, Police, Ambulance and Fire Brigade ALL have blue lights, the Police do have red lights, used on the Traffic Cars and Interceptor Cars.
If the response cars were anymore 'Bulky', as you pointed out, they wouldn't be suitable for the narrow traffic ridden streets of London or the UK for that matter. Many of our narrow roads were designed many years ago when the traffic consisted of horse and cart!
There are two different types of police car generally speaking...
Panda Car: A small/mid sized car like a Vauxhall Astra that is used for responding to incidents and calls to 999.
Traffic Car: A mid to large sized car that will typically do 150-160mph. Examples include mainly most models of Audi's, BMW 5 Series and alike.
4x4 (SUV): Cars like the BMW Z5 and equivalant is common. Good on pursuits but also good if who they are chasing goes off road.
Fire Engines are normally based on a Mercedes or Scania truck chassis with a custom back.
Ambulances are normally a Mercedes Sprinter chassis and cab with a custom back.
Rapid Response Ambulances use a Skoda Estate car or simular.
All of the markings around the vehicles are reflective, although they don't reflect much in the daylight/brightly lit city.
In the UK we generally hate American signage, so probably best not try to change things. All our emergency services use blue lights to move traffic out of the way. Orange is used when attending a non-emergency situation.
You don't have to wait that long to see any emergency vehicle in London
Those Volvos will quite happily sit at 150mph all day long. Seen lots on the motorways as they are a favourite of the traffic boys.
Each police force will have certain males and models of vehicles to use. Most use Volvos and BMWs but they are moving around away from BMW as they found a safety flaw. Skoda are another popular make that the emergency services use.
For the ambulance vehicles, the larger boxy ones are for patients care whilst the other one is either just patient transport or non critical care.
They love their Scoobies!
Good reaction, dig deeper. You wanna see how fast our police are?. Then watch some police interceptors UK , and you'll see how fast they go to catch up any nutter, but you'll also see the operational tactics that UK traffic police deploy to stop the runner's..👍🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧
thanks bro i will watch more thanks for not calling me big head like everyone else haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Cross walks or whatever you call them over there, use language to say whether you can cross the road.This works fine if you can read American (oops I mean English) but some people come from something called other countries of the World and therefore might not understand foreign words. If you use symbols or pictures, EVERYBODY (including young children) might understand what the f to do. Also, red for danger, so don't cross and green for safety, so do perhaps cross if all looks safe to do so. Rest of the World cars also use symbols on the button controls etc..... where as guess what, USA cars predominantly use words on each button. This is fine for English speaking people again, but what about the ones that don't?
Only Lorries/trucks got a safety sticker on the back of the trailer for cyclers or motorbikers. Every European truck got that sticker. Little mini buses don't have them stickers obviously because there's not many blind spots.
I understand
They have reflective colours, it's just the video not showing it.
Makes sense. The one here you can see it reflect in the day time in a angle
We do have emergency and none emergency phone numbers, but irrelevant to why you were asking. The bigger ambulances transport people and the smaller ones usually arrive for on scene stuff/first. They smaller so faster to get around and cheaper to have more on the roads
You seen later that 101 is one of the emergency numbers
Ambulance is written backwards so you know what it is from your rear view mirror. We use 999 over here not 911.
All medical vehicles regardless of purpose have Ambulance written on them. Cars are usually RRV's (rapid repsonse vehicles) or Specialist care teams. Some vans are specialist vehicles.
We have full blue lights in the UK but occasionally you will see red lights on the rear of the lightbars flashing to symbolise a danger ahead such as an obstruction in the road, or something more severe.
Oh and those decals will light up like a Xmas tree in the correct lighting… seriously bright.
There are different types of ambulances for different circumstances. You can get emergency ones with paramedics & sometimes doctors on-board, which can be the more usual ambulance shape, a car, motorbike, a helicopter or even a bicycle which is perfect for cities.
There's also an ambulance that's used for non-emergencies taking people to/from medical appointments, which can be like the first one you saw or cars. They don't always have the full range of specialist equipment in the back, as they don't need it because their main role is to transport people from home for a non-emergency appointment. This type of ambulance is called Patient Transport Service & is for people who are too ill or too disabled to make their own way to their appointment, even by taxi. I'm bedbound & faint or fit if I am not laying completely flat. (That's only 1 symptom of many.) I use PTS for all appointments with the doctor or dentist. A few years ago I needed to travel to a specialist clinic which offers a unique service. I travelled to Somerset from northern England, a distance of about 350 miles. It took us about 7 hours to get there as they couldn't drive fast due to my condition plus I needed regular breaks. My GP (family doctor) arranged a phone consultation with the specialist consultant, who said I needed to spend 2 weeks with them. 3 weeks before the appointment, the manager from the local PTS visited me at home to go through all the details of the journey & all my requirements, from the PTS men carrying me downstairs to being put into a hosital bed. The same 2 men took me home 2 weeks later. Normally the people driving PTS vehicles are not paramedics, but they were in my case because there was a medical need.
All ambulances in the UK, regardless of the reason you're using them or where they're going, are completely free at point of use. The only requirement is a medical need to use them. Usually your GP has to authorise your first use of them, afterwards you're on their database so you can ring them directly to book your journey 1 working day before your appointment.
You talk about the police cars not going fast. They're deceptively fast, being specially ordered from car manufacturers. There's no point having a police car if it can't catch criminals in a fast car. They can go up to 155mph if necessary.
A quick google search has shown that most of the decals used on British emerhency vehicles are Avery Dennison VisiFlex V-8000.
It’s written backward so that if you’re looking in your rear view mirror it looks the right way round
The road sign said Warrington, I was born there
i was born in st helens, small world.
@@pebblesonthebeach3258 that’s crazy, small world, I was born in Warrington but lived in Culcheth. We used to use the east lancs road all the time
I edited this as the video went on btw
In regards to the ambulance car we have cars that carry specialists that can be dispatched with an ambulance to give specific care when required on scene and cannot wait until the hospital
Backwards but is so you can read it when it’s reflected
But May British people realise I don’t think either but ambulances fire engines and police cars sirens all sound different so you can identify just from the sound
The cyclist thing is because they might be in a blind spot so the driver may not see them it’s for everyone’s safety we have them on lorry’s and other large vehicles too
101 is the police non emergency number, for emergencies we call 999 and non emergency medical is 111
If you see one that you can and one you can’t read when it isn’t for reading in reflections it is most likely in wales they obviously have it in Welsh written in it but also English as more people speak English
The smaller ambulances typically carry teams off paramedics to keep people alive on scene, stabilise them.
To capture the footage, yeah... they're not hanging around some random spot or trying to track 'em down with a scanner - they're setup just down the road from the relative police, fire or ambulance station, for the most part.
Our local fire and rescue service (Avon and Somerset) have a truck transporter for a Hovercraft.
All emergency services use blue lights. Some use red lights to the rear only to help warn people they are approaching an emergency services vehcile from the read. There are 43 police forces in England and Wales - not counting Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Each of those can have whatever vehicles they want to in their fleet - and some will vary which vehicles they use by function. Likewise a similar number of Fire and Rescue Services and Ambulance Service NHS Trusts - all with their own fleet choices and subtle livery variations.
Consequently you'll see a whole range of vehicles from BMW and Mercades to Ford, VW, and Nissan. Traffic police and armed police used to use Volvo V70s a lot but now have moved onto BMWs and other compact estates. Likewise you used to see a lot of Land Rover Defenders and Range Rovers in rual areas.
Generally vehicles are white or yellow with blue (police) or green (ambulance) decals and a red base (fire) with yellow as a secondary colour, There are some exceptions and special cases but these tend to be specific to the area they are found in.
All these services are free BTW, and our drivers get out of the way to allow the emergency vehicles access.
It works well in the UK, unlike the US. ...Just saying.
It's same law here people do move out the way
🥰@@CVTECK1
That was a Scottish ambulance and the English ambulances are different and bigger. No they do not use the same cars but the trauma team is part of the amublance service and go out as first responders. In the UK, although not law, most motorists move over to let the police, ambulance or fire engines go past and they also go through red lights. The name being written backwards is so that you can see it in your mirror. The London ambulance you are watching has a boxy shape whereas in my area they are more rounded at the back. If it is an emergency you dial 999 and if not an emergency it is 101.
since when did the Brits think our plus are a nightmare not sure you've got that right 😂😂😂
We have different vehicles for the situation, so local police small medium cars, then you have quick response or traffic using powerful cars, ambulances are all for the situation, so the big ambulance to take patient, small for fast reaction paramedics to get there before the big ambulance, then we have gun police cars and undercover police cars of all makes and models! Air ambulance gets to an accident before the helicopter, the name on the ambulance is upside down so if he is behind you then you can read it in the mirror simple really.
The air ambo ground vehicles are mostly for close range from base or when the aircaft is U/S or simply when the pilots have reached their max flight hours for their period on or sunset etc.
In the UK our government can't show bias so they contract different manufacturing companies to make their emergency vehicles. That's why you see different brands and different vehicles used.
The police vehicles are custom built. So while they look like family cars, they're all very very fast.
I don't know why you would've thought police cars would be bulky though. These family cars are spacious, comfortable and quite aerodynamic. They do the job to keep people comfortable and the car fast.
We have those van ambulances with a bed in, but we also have those small family car ambulances. Which one is sent depends on the situation they're being sent to, it also depends on what vehicles are available. That car ambulance you saw belonged to an Advanced Trauma Team.
101 is our non-emergency call line for the police. 999 is what you call for an emergency operator who will put you on line to police, ambulance, fire etc.
The decals are reflective.
The decals are highly reflective and designed to reflect light from multiple angles. 3M reflective material. The police cars vary for their purpose, our police cars would outpace American police cars on our narrow winding roads.
The Ambulance written on the vehicles simply means they're a vehicle of the Ambulance service rather than an actual proper ambulance itself, its the same for uniforms, it might say ambulance on there uniform but there not necessarily a paramedic, its the same for the fire service & police with there support vehicles & uniforms.
So the first one you saw would of been a support vehicle probably not driven by a paramedic & carrying extra equipment, medical supplies etc unlike the yellow boxy ones you saw later on which are proper ambulance with paramedics on board, there also vehicles like the red & yellow painted ones which say air ambulance on they carry paramedics & doctors who have advanced training & there job is to support other paramedic teams if they need help or if its a major incident like a terrorist attack, they also sometimes get to a scene first & will start stabilising the person until an ambulance arrives to take them to hospital.
Red and blue are on cop cars in US. Ambulance red. Fire red and yellow
American sees profit above helping people. When your country perfect u can comment. And the car that doesn’t look fast does 160 mph.
The small ‘ambulance’ vehicles are emergency response staff that attend to preserve life until a transport vehicle can attend.
If you listen carefully you will notice that each of the services has a different sound to their siren.
In each of the services they have different vehicles for different tasks. You will even see paramedics on motor bikes who are used to get to scenes where traffic may be heavy. Or ambulances range from Emergency all the way down to Patient Transport Services which are basically mini buses that get patients without their own transport to and from hospital appointments.
The emergency number is 999. 101 is the non emergency number. Police vehicles have blue and yellow decals, ambulance have green and yellow, fire vehicles have red and yellow. All have blue lights for emergencies but also often have red or amber lights for other non emergency uses, such as a police car providing help to a broken down car may use flashing red and ambers. Vehicles are bought by the individual forces according to their needs. An ambulance service for example will have the full, box body ambulances with rear lifts and stretcher beds, fast response cars to get emergency aid to the scene quicker and motorcycles to get through traffic and administer critical life saving treatment until the full ambulance arrives. There are also air ambulance helicopters all over the country. These are mostly volunteers and funded through charities. Motorway police need different vehicles to town beat police. That first Volvo estate (station wagon) that you said didn’t look very fast can probably do 155mph. US cop cars are mostly probably slower than British ones….
We do not want trashy US type ads and decals all over the place, thank you.
no ad's on the decals here lol
Our Emergency services number in UK is 999.. the number you saw 101 is the number you ring for none Emergency medical advice..
101 non emergency police 111 non emergency medical
The reverse ambulance sign is for drivers in cars in front seeing it in their mirrors.
The vehicles vary according to use, some ambulances are none emergency, just for patient transport. Each emergency service will have vehicles they choose as suitable for themselves. The car ambulances are doctors going to emergencies, may be faster than regular ambulance. 101is the none emergency number. 999 is the emergency number.
Most Police cars in the UK are BMW's, Mercedes, Mitsubishis, but Fords, Vauxhalls & several other brands are used as required. The Welsh & Scottish vehicles may have local language signs as well as English. The Police & other emergency services are regional, so each area does what suits their region. There are also Motorway (Highway) Police on the fast roads, & Transport Police that cover Railways, Trains & stations etc. Most areas have Police, & emergency, helicopters, & armed response teams when needed. Heavily armed Police can be observed at strategic locations, especially around London, but also at military sites & other sensitive places.
You should watch shows like Police Interceptors or Traffic Cops or to see how our police work in the UK. You can find episodes on TH-cam. We have shows around most of our services including Air Ambulance, they are really popular to watch.
Have you seen Jim Jefferies UK Police ride along?
Hi. We have advanced rapid response paramedic vehicles (motorbikes, cars and vans) to get help to someone before the larger emergency ambulances can get there as they can be slower to arrive in heavy traffic. So what you thought was an emergency ambulance in Scotland was probably not what a patient needing to be transported to Accident and Emergency (A&E) would use, but rather the advance paramedic team. The same with the rapid response trauma team of the air ambulance (what you thought was another police car) carrying a trauma surgeon through busy streets to an accident where a doctor is needed before they are transported to A&E in the later arriving emergency ambulance (same with the actual air ambulance helicopter, it’s to get the trauma team there quickly because they can’t wait to deal with whatever has happened until they get to A&E).
all the ones that say air ambulance are ground support cars for a helicopter
We use to have Ford Transit fire chief 4x4 here in Swansea any else ever see 1 in there area 😂 ?
Let's go Arsenal sorry i had too
Every county in the UK has different vehicles depending on the size and population etc. Bigger city = flashier vehicles and bigger ambulances, fire trucks etc. Also traffic cops will have much faster cars than regular patrol vehicles.
All lights are blue, the siren is different for each service.
reverse writingis for your mirrors when you look backwards, the small ambulance van was for equipement, air ambulance is a helicopter which pickups sick people, the air ambulance car is support.101 is for non emergency, 999 is for emergency
News at ten... the UK is different to where you live!
101 is a non emergency number in the uk
Police cars in the UK have red rear flashers which are activated when blocking a road or a traffic stop. Some fire services in the UK also have rear red flashers.
999 for emergency 101 for non emergency.
I work in a printing company and sadly a lot of clients where I work just don't care about the quality of the decal very much. They just want the company decal on the car to be able to claim back some tax.
Ambulance service have an emergency….the service has ten minutes to get there….so in some cases they send a big ambulance and a small ambulance… the first ambulance that gets there stops the clock…. All emergency services be it police fire or ambulance are covered in reflective decals… police blue… fire red….ambulance green
12:12 the Volvo XC90 you are reacting to belongs to the Welsh Air Ambulance Chairty. They rely entirely on charitable donations to function, this includes the helicopters and rapid response vehicles that they own. In Wales, all emergency vehicles will have both the English and Welsh text on them. 'Elusen Ambiwlans Awyr Cymru' is just the translation of what it says below 'Wales Air Ambulance Charity'. Same with the rear of the car, 'Ambiwlans Awyr' is just a translation of 'Air Ambulance'.
999 for emergency services.
111 for NHS consultation
101 to report nuisance behaviour i think? Think Police but non-emergencies.
I have so many answers. The commentary was brill.
Inside an ambulance is like a mini doctors surgery, they can do quite a few procedures, ecg, drops, some meds. I was given an ecg twice and meds on my way to hospital.
All our ambulances, including our amazing air ambulance are free at point of use!
A lady had a bad fall in my city and the ambulance car was in the scene in a few minutes to give emergency treatment. Then the big ambulance came and took her to hospital.
What’s with the ‘worst nightmare’ plug???
I was thinking same about the plug.
Police vans, we call meat wagons 😅 also in the uk our walk signs don't say walk, don't walk. We have signal's for people that don't speak English, so everyone understands 😊
The first car has a T-5 engine and is around 500bhp
i just came from the plug video, that t-shirt is wild 🤣love from the uk
🙌 Dusty i had to make that shirt haaaa
the other are paramedics
The road sign indicates which places that turn take you too and the distance (in brackets)
The first car in the video which you said didnt look fast is a volvo . probably good for 160 MPH on the motorways Police forcwa across the UK us a variety of vehicles dependant on intended use, from local patrols to high speed motorway interceptors.
You seem to love your self and talk more about your self than the video
999 = Emergency: FIre, Police, Ambulance
101 = ‘non-emergency’ number (for less urgent emergencies 😂
We say Paddy Wagon too, also Black Mariah. Police cars can be called ‘Jam sandwich’ as the livery looked like jam (Jello).
The livery for Police vehicles now is called ‘Battenberg’ like the cake, which is reflective.
Some of the cars are Vauxhall (Opel), which is GM. Also, Fords, Skodas, Volvo.
The fire engines are referred to as an ‘appliance’.
The road sign was just listing the places (in mile distance order) that you can reach using the road name/number at the top.
The smaller Ambulances are usually one paramedic, stationed locally for a quick response. They can also call an ambulance crew in the larger Mercedes units if serious, which are usually based near Hospitals.
We cannot listen to Police radio anymore as it is encrypted.
You cant listen to the emergency services over the airways any more, not for a long time. The radios that are used are digital and encrypted.
The regular ambulance as you called it was possibly just for a deceased body .
We have numerous different cars within both the police and ambulance fleets. Some of the police cars can get some serious speed on. The police also have a large fleet of unmarked vehicles for following unobserved (but they are fully kitted out inside).
The ambulance cars are ‘rapid response’ cars and they get sent ahead of a full ambulance to start intensive treatment.
The lights and sirens are called the ‘blues and twos’ - blue lights and two tone sound. The sirens are also directional so you’ll hear them louder if they are coming at you for obvious reasons.
They send who ever is closer to the scene.
The big ambulance may be far away.
The smaller ambulance car can treat people just not transport.
Air ambulance car is first responder to get to patient fast give life saving treatment till the air ambulance chopper gets there.
Different vehicles for different jobs, some are faster, some carry more, we send the best for the jobs. this includes support vehicles, this video has my home town in it, St Helens.
999 is the emergency telephone number for all services. 101 is non emergency. The smaller ambulance vehicles are “support” units - paramedics / doctors/ extra equipment etc. The red ambulance SUV was a support until for an air ambulance (helicopter)
No mention of the paramedics on motorcycles?
The police cars in Italy are smaller gas is so expensive
Maybe i will look that up Henderdon
7:56mins What's so confusing about this road sign? The top are the road numbers & the writing underneath are a list of places with how many miles/kms it is to get there.
That first ambulance is not a normal one.
Our small compact Police cars are response vehicles not traffic management so no need to be ‘muscle cars’ capable of 200mph. Plus, we don’t have the long, straight roads like you do in the US. If we need pursuit vehicles for high speed we have custom unmarked BMW’s that can take your face off 😂
