@@losmeets98 Not true. My partner had an accident at the seaside and as we didn’t know the area the paramedic told me to follow them, even waited for me to get my car and go behind to follow him.
I had to do that exact thing years ago after my girlfriend collapsed at our workplace because of MS symptoms. The ambulance driver asked me to stick to his bumper like glue as she will need to see me at the hospital (his way of saying this is serious, she needs you)
In the clip of the silver car following following ambulance, it could well be a family member of theirs in the ambulance... I remember years ago when I was taken to hospital my dad was told by the paramedic to follow but don't do anything dangerous... could be the same happening here?
Hope it wasn't anything too serious regarding your father and he made a full recovery. Please see my other comment replies on here regarding the ambulance chaser and why personally I do not approve of his actions, relative or not.
Indeed. I've seen cars running close behind blue light jobs on empty motorways before following to A&E. The Seat may be a chancer, but neither us, the dash cam driver nor the compiler are in a position to judge.
Agreed he could have been a relative. I'd bet he was just taking the piss though. If it was relatives following the ambulance their driving would still be classed as driving without due care and attention IMHO. The Seat was undertaking and straddling lanes in an attempt to keep up with the ambulance which had its lights flashing and sirens on. The Seat could have been hit by other vehicles moving back in to lane after having let the ambulance past them, not expecting a non emergency vehicle following close behind. The Seat introduced a risk for the all those on the road IMHO. th-cam.com/video/gs2pTH_zJZY/w-d-xo.html
Just stumbled across your channel - I lived in Chorlton and Whalley Range for many years and still have friends round there. Your clips have reminded me how bad the standard of driving had become there before I moved away in 2019. I love riding a bike (a normal upright bike with a luggage rack, not a racing type), but I ended up driving everywhere because I had so many near misses with entitled idiots running red lights at speed, overtaking without giving me any room, not giving way etc. I was shouted and spat at for no reason, and I was even threatened and had things thrown at me on several occasions. Manchester is now so densely populated that the situation on the roads at the moment is untenable - hopefully with changes to public transport, better bike lanes and low traffic neighbourhoods, things will change for the better. Sticking some 20mph signs on lampposts doesn't do anything!
Ever considered that the cars that follow closely to blue light ambulances might be relatives etc of the person inside the ambulance.....maybe not...BUT???? Maybe Yes.
Possibly. However if they start weaving in between lanes, undertaking and taking risks, their driving puts themselves and others in danger. Emergency vehicles have sirens and blue lights for a reason.
So it excuses the potential danger it could put others in as well as the ambulance personnel? What good does chasing an ambulance all the way to the hospital achieve? Are you planning to jump out of the car immediately without parking? Are you going to suddenly learn to become a doctor and help? No, instead people will probably block up the A&E access, and get in the way of the hospital doing their job. I get why people would do it of course, but putting many others lives in front of one is rather selfish in my opinion no matter how much you love them. But I suppose we do live in a selfish world so... fuck it I guess.
If you had a relative fighting for their lives in a back of an ambulance, l think l would follow too. People are not rational when a love one maybe dying.
@@_B.M_ I wouldn't do anything which I thought might cause an accident but if I was following a seriously ill/injured loved one in the back of an ambulance I really wouldn't give a shit about breaking any road traffic laws.
If less than 30 days old, tell the cammers to submit the footage to police under OperationSnap. That'll get the stupid bastards a caution at the very least, a driver awareness course or points & a fine. Will serve them right! They're driving performance cars around residential streets, not Brands Hatch. They need to learn that driving is a privilege, not a right!
2:06 bad car driving way too close to lorry as it’s turning and long vehicles require more than one lane on a roundabout to turn, and what is that other car driver doing in the lorry blind spot in front
Just a brit way of saying someone is dangerous and or reckless. I've also heard it used as a positive if someone is doing something a bit crazy and manages to pull it off.
1:55 I would say you and the car in front should probably of gone left looking at the way the curb is blocking your path to go straight on, so lorry was probably not in the wrong
Behave mate !! BTW it wasn't me driving on that clip. However I'm familiar with that road layout and the lorry veered from lane 2 to lane 1 and was in the wrong. Have a look on Google Street view for White City Circle for the lane markings and road layout.
Yes, I was amused at the level of anger that one generated. One might almost believe the guy with the camera has never, in all his born days, made any kind of mistake, and has never ever found himself in the wrong lane in a city he's perhaps never visited before.
@@roadsafegb8740 I didn't mean the YOU to signify you as the driver sorry my bad. Also I guess the sunlight made it hard for me as a viewer to see the road markings. Just had a look at Google Street View yep clearly shows that the lorry was in the wrong.
At 3:00 on the phone, I'd bet ! At 4:48, had there been a red light camera the Audi would have got a ticket, nowt wrong with the Maserati..no cyclists about !
There's a red light camera for traffic coming the other way ironically. You may just be able to see it next to the dark car on the other side of the junction waiting to come towards us. The Maserati should not have crossed the first stop line as the lights were red well before he got there, cyclists or no cyclists. If there was a traffic copper around he would have been in his right to issue a TOR.
Not my incident but I have the full 3 minute clip that was sent to me. There was no previous interaction between the HGV and the cammer who approached the lights from a different route to find the lorry already at the lights in lane 2. Lorry should have indicated his intention to move over to lane 1 and should have been aware of the 2 cars already in that lane. I personally would have been a bit more cautious of trying to pass the HGV on the inside though.
if anything happened before and the hgv decided to risk crushing a car because he was annoyed, then he needs DQ and possible way more serious action taken against him. im not sure what point you thought you were making, but it would make the hgv look way way way worse. using the wrong lane and hoping is bad, running someone off the road in anger is serious. i tend to assume most ppl dont drive hgvs too and are oblivious to how well you can actually see and manouver them
@@anoncyclist2131 I agree. The initial comment seemed to imply the lorry driver's action might be understandable if there was an altercation beforehand. As it happened, there wasn't (see my reply above) and it was not a case of road rage but poor observations by the HGV driver.
The seat driver could’ve been in convoy with the ambulance.. we’ve had an advanced paramedic (Skoda octavia) escort us to hospital before it’s pretty normal.
Possibly but I doubt it. If it was relatives following the ambulance their driving would still be classed as driving without due care and attention IMHO.

Had the same thought....could be a relative....you never know.

Could have been a doctor also. They don't always drive marked cars.

Your warning is great!!
Never think that maybe someone related to them are in it?
That first clip: "When cockwombles meet"
At the last clip, I would get out of the car and ask what his fucking problem is.
That bit with the white Mercedes A or B class around 3:20… that’s a 20mph road by a school in Manchester!
Spot on.
And at 4:20 the grey focus… speed camera on the right set to 30mph… why didn’t it go off?
That speed camera is for traffic coming towards us on the opposite side of the road. So it nabs speeders traveling away from the camera.
I always drive so carefully up that bit of road… haha

car following ambulance may be relatives of person in ambulance, who could not get in back or need car to get home

UK Dashcam footage is so lame, just bad cammers sounding their horns for no reason. Embarrassing.
To be honest, a lot of other dashcam compilations are of the cammer themselves making the situation worse or even being the instigator of the issue.
To be fair, the ambulance chaser may have been a close relative of the patient, eager to follow to A&E, so back off a bit.
I've followed ambulances and fire engines like that. 🤣🤣
Obviously the cam car driver in the first clip needs help!
