Totally agree...Dutch police. ambulance and fire vehicles all emergency situations are being consider as a real prior for the other traffic users. In France for instance nobody cares for the emergency signs because they always using it even in cases there is no emergency.
Every driver is on allert , following instructions from the motor escort. Drivers in the Netherlands drive safe and disciplined in general , but most certainly when an ambulance is in sight. Great job the police escort does...and the paramedics in the ambulance also deserve much respect for an outstanding job!!!
Well, except for the one at 9:10 who thinks it'a a good idea to overtake while the escort vehicles is already approaching from behind. He should have known that even a car equipped with blue lights and sirens cannot ignore a lane ending...
Congratulations to the escort team for an excellent job and, the Dutch motorists who demonstrated excellent traffic awareness that allowed a smooth convoy 😁👌👌👌❤️❤️
Hi, I am an elderly man of 71 years old from Denmark who enjoys watching your videos, and especially your way of commenting on the progress in the videos is completely unique. Thank you for that.i
Hello, as a Türk, I really enjoyed watching the police officers' meticulousness in their duties. Of course, the other drivers' willing contributions to the situation were very reassuring. As a normal and well-intentioned person, I wish this could be done with such respect and sincerity in every country in the world... laf aramızda bunun kendi ülkemdede gerçekleştirilebilmesi harika olurdu..!!
The funny thing is that we in the Netherlands say exactly the same about drivers in Germany. Especially on highways German drivers are very disciplined when an emergency vehicle is coming through.
@@flow_rush72 Well yes, but actually no. We see instances of that happening, and those are the ones that get filmed. In a very general sense, in most of Germany it doesn't happen.
Thank you so much for given us another amazing video of great team work by the police and paramedics. and Thank You for your commentary. you have a good voice our friend , but we never know your name.. take care always too., 🙏🙏🙏
We know that when necessary, the police treat everyone like a king in our country. Rules in the Netherlands: Don't do anything crazy: make space where possible and above all, stay calm. Show that you have seen the ambulance, for example indicate your direction. Don't drive through a red light, but make space by carefully moving aside. Don't just stop, the ambulance doesn't expect that. Don't just drive onto the sidewalk or cycle path, pedestrians and cyclists don't expect that. Don't drive off the road at high speed to make room. Make an extra round at a roundabout to give the ambulance a clear path. In a traffic jam on the motorway, always keep the hard shoulder clear for emergency services. In traffic jams on motorways without hard shoulders, make space between the two rows of vehicles. If there are more than two lanes, keep this space clear between the two leftmost lanes.
Are there any Americans (including Canadians) watching this video? Especially those who design roads, legislate roads and USE roads? Did you notice how well the roads are giving directions to all users? Talk to your local politicians if you care for much more safety on the road. Let them watch this video. Same goes for your local police.
In Australia, Traffic Controllers can set a route from one place to another (giving all green lights for fire trucks) from the command centre _surprises me that this is not done here or are they yet to get the technology?_
my buddies dad was a motorcycle cop. great guy. he said when in "on" mode it was intense but he loved the job and after a few years of desk work, demanded to be let back onto a bike atleast 1 day a week id like to point out not getting out the way carries a huge penalty and with driving licenses costing a lot and taking a lot of training, including what to do in aa situation with emergency vehicles, losing it for being an asshole is just not worth it constant marker readout for ETA is critical, cant have docs stand around but gotta have them there right on arrival edit: im surprised they dont go faster tbh
Moet zo blijven en waar mogelijk verbeteren! Het aantal aso's in Nederland neemt nog steeds toe! Geert Wilders als rechtse aso het wordt tijd dat je het goede voorbeeld gaat geven!

What an amazing show of teamwork, Kudos to the Dutch. Can anybody shed some light on why a patient would need to be transported from Delft to Amsterdam? Doesn't Rotterdam or The Hague have the same medical facilities as Amsterdam? I was under the impression that the Dutch don't use paramedics but crew their ambulances with a driver and a nurse. I'd hate to have that sort of crew mix. Here in Australia, we use two advanced care paramedics per unit, and generally do job about (the driver of the first job is the treating paramedic on the second etc.). Which system do others think is the better? Nurse and driver, or two paramedics?
Indeed many cities (including Rotterdam and The Hague have great hospitals as well. But there are a handful of hospitals that are specialized in a specific kind of treatment (like oncology). Depending on the patient and the required treatment a transfer to a specific hospital may be done. The escort in this video is one of the longer once and, as far as I know, not something that happens very often. As for your second question: both crew members of Dutch ambulances are fully qualified paramedics/nurses. In high impact cases with extensive trauma a mobile medical team can be requested. They often get flown in by helicopter and consist of a pilot, a nurse and a trauma doctor (anestesiologist/intensivist/trauma surgeon). I hope this information helps.
I don't know about this one, but 20 yearas ago, my sister took a similar trip from Næstved to Copenhagen. That was due to a brain aneurism. My BIL got to ride in the front on the ambulance, and he told that the speed was seldom below 130 km/h, with 4 motorcycles leapfrogging in pairs to block side roads, as the ambulance entered Copenhagen proper.
@@quadrotas there are also paramedics on motorbikes. They carry their stuff in the panniers. A helicopter isn’t very handy in built up areas, but a motorbike can travel on the sidewalk if necessary.
18:46 "Aaand we caught up again, give it some gas.", then the bike hits the rev limiter, haha. Maybe something to look at from the police or manufacturer, although maybe it was just a bad choice to give full throttle at that moment in those conditions. EDIT: btw, it's "plower", not "power" at 19:41, but that's obviously a typo.
my guess would b that it was not sure or they wanted to pass by on the left side of that persons car, you make way for the emergency and sometimes you have to ignore the normal rules to make room. someone can die any minute in that ambulance.
The ambulance probably has a patient in the back, could be getting treated on-route, so I guess they need to tell medical crew to hold on if they go over a bump at speed.
Not every patient and/or injury is suited for handling an air ride. Also, a typical ambulance-helicopter does not have the extra room for medical personnel when a patient requires ongoing treatment.
11:38 😂 Does he says "lijn 11"? And therefore he seems to be a true resident of The Hague. For non residents; Lijn 11 is a well known, popular tram line (especially during the summer-beach season), with an extensive history in The Hague. Obvious, his slight but distinct recognisable accent is also an indicator Fortunately, the subtitles overcome this slip of the tongue. (TeamVerkeerDH: DH stands for "Den Haag" witch translates to "The Hague" in English)
patient rarely get transported by those helicopters, they are mainly used to get the team quickly to the site of the emergency. the 3 main downsides of transporting patients by helicopter: - not every hospital has a heliport, so it might be difficult to get the patient from the building to the helicopter and vise versa. - the helicopter is cramped. so if the patient is hooked up to several devices or needs urgent medical care during the transport an helicopter isn't ideal. - if you use the helicopter to transport patients between hospitals, it means you now have one (or more) helicopters that aren't able to go to incidents. so transport by helicopter is often a last resort kind of thing, it's often better to use an ambulance or a MICU/PICU (mobile/pediatric intensive care unit).
@@erikxtrema3845 ja ik ben een aantal jaar fotograaf geweest van incidenten in mijn omgeving (zoals de 112 groep doet). van katten in de boom tot dodelijke ongelukken of enorme branden. dus ik heb aardig wat geleerd van hoe hulpverleningsdiensten in Nedrland werken.
Dutch has four medical helicopters, but only one is equipped / configured to transport supine / stretcher patients from the islands of in the north of the country. The others is used to transport mobile medical team with a doctor and a nurse for critical interventions on scene and then transport is done by road.
My guess: the bikes will create a gap to pass the obstacle. I don't think an ambulance that's getting an escort to a hospital has the capacity to make an extra stop. Whatever is going on, they'll have to wait for "their" emergency vehicles to arrive.
@@alex2143 With two solid lanes? And rescue of emergency services in attendance? I met with the scenario just the once, and it delayed us by over 10 minutes. Not an experience I'd want to repeat. I never "assume" nor "presume", I always "deduce" from the evidence.
Not a dilemma at all. Directions from a police officer take priority over traffic lights, at least over here in the Netherlands. So you can run a red light without any legal repercussions as long as an officer tells you so. Providing you do it cautiously of course.
@@ooRobertoo Maybe in Germany that is, but in The Netherlands a police officer takes responsibility as soon as he or she provides signals that overrule whatever traffic lights or signs are stating, thus if it comes to a crash, it will be investigated to find out if the officer is to blame or not.
That's kind of the point: it's a team of professionals making a dangerous and difficult operation look easy; no shouting and drama, exactly as it should be.
yes it's okay, traffic in the Netherlands is very different from that found in France (I'm talking about the video of the Belgian ambulance escorted by French Police motorcyclists on the ring road and then in Paris) I remind you that traffic on the ring road in Paris is the most important in Europe, 3 million cars per day! so, it's okay, I think that the work (admittedly important) of these police officers in the Netherlands is far from difficult! I think that what I wrote will not please some people, and I don't care about their answers!!! less than 18 million inhabitants in the Netherlands (an outlying country in Europe) more than 67 million inhabitants in France, and it is also the crossroads of all of Europe! in the Paris region alone, we have almost the entire population of the Netherlands grouped together in Paris and its suburbs!
This is all about the dicipline, coordination, communication, it will always work with less or more inhabitants, has nothing to do with the population of a country..

as a oiled machine if you see
I can receive pictures, but I cannot get my Icom IC-7100 to transmit. I am sure the radio is configured correctly and I have selected USB in the menu.
Why not use the matrix-signs to clear the left lane? They are up there all along the route.
On certain stretches without congestion and short sightlines they could go much faster than 130. Anyways. Good job guys.
Police can, ambulance nog.
Not
15:34 What is the white car doing? Is it on its way to the emergency lane? If it was, it was close.
my guess would b that it was not sure or they wanted to pass by on the left side of that persons car, you make way for the emergency and sometimes you have to ignore the normal rules to make room. someone can die any minute in that ambulance.
It looks like a rolling transport, with the "bump cautions"?
The ambulance probably has a patient in the back, could be getting treated on-route, so I guess they need to tell medical crew to hold on if they go over a bump at speed.
Given the distance, why didn't they use an air ambulance?
Not every patient and/or injury is suited for handling an air ride. Also, a typical ambulance-helicopter does not have the extra room for medical personnel when a patient requires ongoing treatment.
Plus there 2 airports. Would not be fast.

Due to such long distances, wouldn't it make more sense to transport the patient by helicopter? Just my thought.

whats with constant coughing????????? glad im not the patient
This is not the ambulance but an escorting police vehicle. The ambulance is behind it.
That's not in the ambulance where you hear that coughing from, but from the car in front of it.
the coughing is the person in the police car that is directing/commanding the motorcycles.
he probably has a mild cold or just a dry throat.
It's damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Running a red light is illegal, and at same time you want to let emergency vehicle by too.
Dilemma.
Do it respectfully, cautiously, and with consideration for those around you, and officer discretion can be applied
