@@paul8161 In daylight hours they are very difficult to spot as their lights are small and don't show up very well, I get that they're undercover, but they still need to be visible when negotiating traffic, especially in somewhere like London

@@paul8161 Yes, really, I have encountered unmarked vehicles on many occasions, as I am a professional driver, I find myself hearing the sirens OK, but unable to distinguish which vehicle the sound is coming from, especially if it is weaving in and out of traffic, and if approaching side on it's virtually impossible.
Yes, they have lots of flashing blue lights but at a junction, they are not very visible so other drivers are unsure how to react. Why don't they all have one of those magnetic round flashing lights to place on top of the car? Much more visible and attention-getting.
Because they have to be attached and removed every time, also the window has to be left open and when the siren is going it's bloody loud. It's loud enough driving with two tones inside the car with all windows and doors shut, let alone with a window open so the wire for the magnetic beacon can fit through. They also don't massively help, there's one lying around in the station I work out of, and it's not been used in years. Nobody uses it. Most of the cars are either fully covert (With hideaway LED lights), marked cars which are obvious anyway, or just plain cars with no lights and no siren. The flashing blue light on the roof isn't what gets their attention, it's the siren. In the same way that most people notice an emergency vehicle usually because of a change in the siren tone, and also because of flashing headlights. If you look in your rear view mirror during daylight hours, and see a vehicle coming towards you with blues flashing, if they are making use of the Headlamp flash function that is likely to be the first thing you will notice.
Of course they have, the driving course teaches you to "make progress" but with the main element being safety, not speed. Far better to be slower especially through built up and heavily pedestrianized areas such as London, than to race there at breakneck speed and be involved in a PolCol en-route. The length of investigation in the job and the way that response drivers are treated if they are involved in a collision is very questionable, and if you ask some of the drivers they will tell you "if you are involved in a collision with a pedestrian, you are basically thrown under the bus", in other words left to hang out to dry. I'm in the job and the vast majority of drivers are very good, and make very good progress, often covering several miles in a matter of a few minutes.

All of these Vehicles are part of VCTF. 00:14 however was put into the wrong clip, it is a CT car 🚘

Drivers on hearing an emergency vehicle, moving to the side and giving way seems, difficult. Similarly pedestrians and cyclists take risks

Yeah, it’s really the Just Eat guy in a hurry
London needs to look at unmarked vehicles in the US. And see how it's probably done. There is a lot of side lighting options to utilize.
unmarked police cars in the US still drive with a front bull bars. Not very covert.
We don't need disco lights. What we use serves our purpose
@@pauldavison7105 who said we need these unmarked cars to be seen from the side especially in day time
@@user-ei3dq2dw6i not me your replying to the wrong person
@@user-ei3dq2dw6i A lot of them do have side lights, mounted in the rear windows. Just not many in this clip.
Is London that boring half the street takes a video of a cop car ?
They’re just multiple people who upload on different channels but they are together
Yeah a couple of hundred people in the whole city filming them at once VS the Millions of people who live in London, Great math Einstein.
