[POV] Urgent Ambulance Flies Through Cologne's BUSY Downtown Streets

Welcome! Today we join this Emergency responder in Cologne, Germany. He's called in for an emergency transport from the University Hospital in Cologne to another hospital in the east of Germany. We will be onboard while he navigates out of the busy city and on to the highway towards his destination.
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.

Well... "East of Germany" is a little far... but, well, its east at least 😂

[@Tyrope]

I don't think the end of the video was the actual destination. But the end of the "exciting part", so to speak.

[@matthiasbecker5064]

@@Tyrope I need te clearify: I am German and to us "East of Germany" are the states of the GDR. Cologne is about 300KM away from there 😅 Made for a good joke :)
Nice drive!

@@matthiasbecker5064 Für Blut/Organtransporte sind das nicht unbedingt unrealistische Entfernungen. Denke, das Video geht nur aus dem Kölner Ring raus.
For Blood / Organ Transports, 300km are not an outlandish distance. I think, the Video only follows the car until the end of Cologne Ringway / Start of the Motorway.

@@matthiasbecker5064 there are roads from cologne to east germany

Around 4:14 the ambulance triggers a fixed speed camera. You can see the red flash on the right side.

[@huskytail]

Oh wow, indeed. Good catch

[@saiberfun]

6:34 too :D

[@DonDuracell]

Good eye! It's a given that ambulances don't get fined when they are speeding during an emergency.
But I would also like to add that in Germany any driver who is speeding or needs to cross a red light because he needs to make way for an emergency service vehicle (for example on a single lane road and no place to pull aside) and gets caught by a speed camera can challenge the fine afterwards and almost all of the time the fine will be dropped.

4:17 Einfach geblitzt worden... man kennts xD Ab damit in Ablage "P" und weiter

[@OlliEs1977]

scheint bei 6:30 auch so zu sein

[@citroniron8861]

The beginning was at the university hospital of Cologne, so most people around there know about ambulances. Glad that it wasn't during rush hour. Usually there is heavy traffic. Cool to see my workplace on YT.

well done driver

[@robbeplanckaert1466]

Well done!

I live near Cologne and that city is my absolute driving nightmare, I avoid going there at almost all cost. I am very surprised to see how well this ride worked for the ambulance, traffic in Cologne usually can be quite different. The Zoobücke, the zoo bridge the ambulance took across river Rhine is infamous as speed trap alley, there used to be several speed traps in sequence. Four or six or so. It was quite interesting to see what it looks like at some speed for a change! 🙃
And may I say I am ever so slightly proud of how almost really very well the traffic gave way for the emergency vehicle there? 🤗 Well, done, dear Colognians! At least for once, you managed to behave when driving cars! 😁

[@mikedelacruz9531]

Thank you again for another amazing video. do you every have any filmed here in UK. first responders are so important apart of health care. 💖🙏🙏🙏

[@warsawrescue]

Świetny kanał, masz moją subskrypcję 👍😎

[@Twowheelsonelens]

In Romania, ambulance have to make room for drivers :)))))))))

[@WendyYIvEdV]

This is why I always keep a cars length distance so there is room for or the emergency vehicle or another car

[@IZokoraI]

That was an impressive video! Yet I think, the driver was just a bit too fast. Quite risky at some of the intersections. Every time I am stuck with a driver like him, I tend to shit my pants 😅

[@singingLeaf123]

Can you do one in usa plz to see how bad it is

[@knownort4812]

Or UK

[@amiridiculous]

It's acutally an old video, at least 6 months old, as there is still 80 kph max. on the "Zoobrücke" bridge and up to the tunnel in Köln Kalk. They changed it to 50 in October '23, because cyclists aren't save enough with that 40cm steel plank barrier between the lanes for cars and the one for cyclists. Nontheless, drivers in their cars are giving way exeptionally well, in this whole video. There isn't that much of traffic, but still nice to see.

[@avinandanbhadra1274]

6:30THE DRIVER IS DRIVING AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE AND IS WHISTLING, WOWWW!!!!!! 😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣

[@huskytail]

Don't be judgmental, people react to incidents in a very different way. Some try to stay emotionally detached and calm, others find that not thinking it's anything particular helps them. He's did an excellent job and that's what's important.

[@Paul_C]

Well, it is unlike India, where the simply don't react at all. Just simply by not budging...

[@avinandanbhadra1274]

WHY THERE ARE NO POLICE ESCORTS???

[@jaybokay6444]

We don’t have it in Germany and it’s actually not necessary.

[@a.gjohansson8337]

You rarely need Police escort in Germany, 99,9% of drivers know that it's mandatory to make Free way

[@jonkess2768]

Why would you need them?
