I remember when I had just passed my drivers exam. We lived near the German border, so dad decided I needed some experience with a Freibahn. In the Netherlands you clear the most right driving lane. I heard the sirens, everybody going left and right and I panicked and my dad was screaming 'To the left! Goddammit! To the left!' So I ended up in the middle, dad screaming to drive as fast as I can in an effort not to block the ambulance. I almost crashed into a policecar. Police yelling at me and then at my dad, my dad yelling at me and police. And then the driver of the ambulance came round and very cool and calm said: Bitte Fraulein, we only have room for one.
I don't know where you live, but overall it is definitely NOT normal on german roads. that is why the Feuerwehr and Polizei constantly make advertisements, because some people are either too retarded to build a Rettungsgasse, or too ignorant and egoistic. this footage is a pretty rare occasion
Good, really good. That's how it should be everywhere, those guys save lives, after all they aren't using the flashing lights and siren to screw around.
CrazyHynter you have to realize that America is basically the worst country when it comes to people as a whole... this video is so fucking shocking to me actually. Never in my years of watching people drive and my year driving have I seen anything close to this
Maybe the difference is, that we in Germany are obliged by law to create a corridor for emergency vehicle access whenever traffic slows you down to walking speed or when you come to a total halt. Even when there is no accident. There might be, you don't know.
Elibrius Project - That's not the case in the US. People are taught to move to the shoulder when they hear/see emergency vehicles. I've never seen anybody not move over for an ambulance, firetruck, police vehicle, etc. in the US.
in England you pull over as soon as you see or hear them, however in this case drivers in Germany are required to pull over before they see or hear an approaching emergency vehicle
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos how the hell you gonna be required to pull over for something you can't see or hear? that's impossible...lmao
langlang it's as easy as it can be: no matter if you know that there's an emergency scene up ahead, as soon as you end up in a traffic jam, federal traffic laws require you to immediately create an emergency vehicle passing lane, not wainting until an emergency vehicle approaches. It's not impossible, just thinking a little bit further ahead
As a paramedic in the USA I can say that we never get that level of respect when we drive code 3. People are so self absorbed these days and caught up with social media or music. They either don't care or don't know how to react when I pull up behind them. I don't like using the lights and siren but when I do it's because someone is having possibly the worst day of their life. Traffic accidents kill more first responders than anything else. I personally have lost a friend because of this. When I'm caring for my patient it's impossible for me to wear a seat belt in the back of the ambulance, so please when you see an emergency vehicle running code 3 slow down and pull to the right because they could be on their way to help someone you love.
impossible to wear a seatbelt? Why so? I don't have a problem caring about my patient and keeping the seetbealt on while beingin the back of the ambulance while driving...
I guess it really depends on the truck u are in. But I work in a large box unit when I sit on the bench and put a seat belt on I can't reach anything in the cabinets and if I have to do chest compressions it's impossible to do sitting on the seat. Where I work we don't have an auto pulse any such CPR machine. I do however have an impact aev vent. I have seen some newer sprinter type ambulances that appear to be better designed but I haven't had a chance to work in one
well, I work in a large ambulance as well, a Sprinter with a large box body with enough space for a crew of 4 or 5 treating the patient and preparing stuff before leaving the scene; We do everything we need before we are heading off towards the hospital, so I can remain on my seat with my seatbelt on the whole time; In case of critical changes in the conditions with further, far reaching actions necessary, we'd stop again
Where I work I don't have the benefit of extra help. It's usually just me and my emt partner and being rural transport times are very long. Because of that anything bad is usually load and go with me working by my self during transport. It's not very realistic for us to just stop on the side of the road just so I can reach something. I'm not saying that it's impossible to do everything sitting down saying u have everything within reach but my question to u is this. How is it possible for you to do good quality CPR sitting down and seatbelted in. You can't just stop and do chest compressions only when you are stopped. At some point you have to transport the pt. And mechanical compression machines don't work on everyone. So I'd really like to know your technique to accomplish this. I've never seen anyone sit and be able to do effective CPR
I'm at a ruralEMS provider as well, with the station being in a town halfway between all the surrounding hospitals; With 2 to3 on the ambulance, further crew members only come when the emergency doctor is dispatched from a neighbouring town. Until now I didn't had to perform CPR while driving to the hospital
+the b biddim Intelligent drivers? xD Well, that's not that true... We've got a law that tells us to react like this when there is a sirene and blue light. On the Autobahn you have to get space for the ambulance (etc.) between the left lane and the one right next to it. You have to pay quite a lot to get a driving licence. For a licence to drive with a normal car, you need 14x 1 1/2h theory lessons and an amount of driving lessons with a qualified driving teacher including special lessons like driving on the Autobahn or at night. And only if you had all the required hours in theory and driving, you're allowed to do a theoretical test, and only if you passed it you can do your driving test. And theeen you've got your licence, so you don't want to lose it :D For me it took from June to October to get mine and only because I trained for it (and I had free time to do it, if you have to work next to the driving school it will take way more time). :D
Sorry, you´re wrong. 53% are unlimited and 47% have a speed limit (30% generally and 17% temporary). So add the limited areas due to a cunstruction area and there is not many unlimited areas left. And on the interstate roads there is a limit of 100km/h, not 120km/h. Tut mir leid, da liegst Du falsch. Stand 2013 waren 53% der Autobahnen mit keinem Tempolimit belegt und 47% waren limitiert, davon 30% ständig und 17% temporär. Wenn Du dann berücksichtigst das wir 2016 haben und die Vielzahl an temporären Tempolimits wegen Baustellen dazurechnest bleibt da nicht einmal die Hälfte die kein Tempolimit hat. Allein auf meinem Weg zur Arbeit sind von den 40km nur 10km ohne Limit.Und auf Bundesstrassen gilt Tempo 100, nicht 120.
theen it should have drove on until it found a spot. I see too many idiots who literally just stop on the side as soon as they see/hear an emergency vehicle approaching. they end up blocking the road and the emergency vehicle can't pass. They need to not be some short sighted they need to stop where the vehicle can pass them easily and quickly.
Well, he's just stupid, you have to make room for an ambulance by law before you stop on the Autobahn, even if there is none. So all drivers on the right lanes have to move over to the most right side of the lane and the left lanes' ones have to move left. So he just wanted to take over or is plain stupid.
I'm German and I really thought this wouldn't be a surprise to anyone. We learn how to behave in such a case in our driving lessons and I thought everyone would behave (or know he SHOULD behave) like that
I'm studying for my driver license in Belgium right now and it's a part of it like in Germany, they call it an "urgence corridor". I went on UA-cam to see what it looked like again.
@@cdemr the thing is, that in some countries, the driving license is really easy to get. For example, in the US (or at least in some states) you only have to bring a paper from your parents to school, where they sign that you took the driving hours with them. Then, you have to do a practical test on a small track, and you're good to go. The Theoretical test is a joke compared to EU standards, too. Oh, and I think you have to be only 17 or so .. That's why many U.S. Citizens are kinda impressed by how good EU drivers are every so often. Because we actually learn shit about it. xD I mean, I had to learn 1004 Questions for motorcycle theory, and only when i got ALL of them right, I was allowed to do the theoretic test. Answer incorrectly - do it again, but this time you have to do it right twice! >.>
Germans are good at everything. - Many things were invented in Germany. - Almost all the High Quality Items probably come from Germany too. - They probably smarter than Asians too. - Germany does not tell how much money the country has because they want it secret. They are probably secretly, the richest country in this world. - World Cup: Germany is improving in their soccer team also.
a fucking finesser. Yeah in america it is go on your light, even if there is sbulance, drive faster than the ambulance or drive directly behind ambulance
Becky Downey But even if there wasn't that penalty, would you do it anyways i guess... I mean there could be people dying just because you are too dumb to drive on the side?
and still you don't see emergency vehicle passing lanes between both driving lanes in Norway. I have a ride-along video in Oslo, and one of the crew members had to get off the Engine in order to direct drivers ahead to move over
Not so much in the US. Cars often wait until the last minute to pull over. They even have problems crossing interceptions because noone wants to stop at a green light.
This is one good example, ok... But let me say (as a German), that there are thousands of situations where drivers seem to sleep while they are in the jam. Over the last few years the situation get only more worse. I guess it's because nearly every driver is texting and playing on the phone.
shockwave1xD Nah mate, I don't know where you live but I've been driving almost everywhere on German roads and in most cases, it's been a fucking catastrophe.
Damm! I'm a German and I live here. As I heard the siren, my neck-hair began to stay straight. I Love it cause in Germany you can say: when an accident happens (don't matter where) an ambulance just needs 10 to 15 Minutes to reach you. So that is the point: all drivers let ambulance Drive and Nobody has to die. Honor to the Heroes of ambulance, firefighting and the Police! #love Germany
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos even in the farthest point of Alaska? in germany it's meant to be that EMS has to reach a person in need within 10min at every point of the country.
Soli DeVries we were commenting onto a video from Germany, and I answered onto a comment which described the situation in Germany, not Alaska! And nevertheless how far the distances are somewhere in the outback of other countries, a 15 minutes / 15 miles drive is long for us. Keep in mind there are medical issues where the chance to survive decreases by 10% in each minute And no you are wrong about the time limit in Germany: on the one hand, there are 16 different regulations according to the 16 different EMS state laws, which already differ from the point from when on the time is counted, and the response times limits range from 8 minutes in populated areas in North Rhine-Westphalia to 17 minutes in rural areas in Thuringia.. However this actually ain't a real limit, we only have to be able to kkeep within that limit in 95% of all responses / setteled people. Even if we respond at 140 kph in a 80 kph zone, it can be damn hard for us to keep within any of the given time limits
German car drivers react instantly and try to make the way free for the ambulance. I have never seen such helping disciplin in either country. They are trained and very careful drivers on any car way you might drive on. -- Hans Rosenthal (A.H.R.D.)
Their movement was not a reaction to the vehicle filming. They had already let the other police/ambulance through as you can see them near the end of the video.
He says this comment yet they're probably responding to an accident done by said careful drivers. In America the emergency vehicles just drive on the outside of the solid white line. Don't have to turn cars into a Moses showcase
The first line at the left side there all must go so far there are can go left and all others lines must so fare they can go to right this is not difficul and then i think why they make this
Stephan Bijzitter there is an "emergency lane" in germany too, its on the right side and use by this firetruck near the end. However it is not considered to be the lane such truck has to drive threw, because there can always be another stranded car (maybe out of gas or some bullshit) to block that lane leaving the firetruck stuck. So the best way was chosen to open up space between the left and middle lane, because normally all cars on those lanes are still able to move out of the way.
@@Marco-bf4uu he deleted his comments :'D i remember. The guy who said Usa is nr.1 in everything and without the Usa, there were no youtube and shit. But the computer is a german invention so his argument backfired
Linn Amayako Oh ein deutscher! ja das Video muss sehr alt sein, denn heutzutage ist es noch schlimmer! In der Fahrschule lernt man, dass die Rettungsgasse Pflicht ist. Das ist den Leuten aber egal. Heutzutage ist es schon Seltenheit, dass man als Feuerwehrmann eine solche Gasse sieht, wenn man zum Einsatz auf die Autobahn fährt. Nur weil diese Egoisten zu faul sind und ganz schnell am Ziel sein wollen. Und deswegen sterben unschuldige Menschen bei Unfällen, weil wir Rettungskräfte nicht schnell genug oder gar gar nicht am Einsatzort ankommen. In Österreich zahlt man als Autofahrer 2000€, wenn man keine Rettungsgasse bildet. Da werden über Kameras die Kennzeichen gescannt und ein Bußgeld ausgeschrieben. Und in Deutschland wollen wir das auch durchsetzen. Denn ein Leben ist mehr wert als jedes Geld oder eine rechtzeitige Ankunft im Urlaub. Doch diese Strafe von 2000€ ist hoffentlich ein Denkzettel für diese Leute. Und es ist eine Schande, dass Leute aus anderen Ländern dieses Video sehen und uns loben, für etwas, was gar nicht mehr Realität ist. Und ja schon in diesem Fall habens manche nicht geschafft die Rettungsgasse zu bilden...
mittlerweile wurde ja die art wie man die rettungsgasse bildet geändert jetzt sollen alle auf der linken seite nach links und alle auf der rechten seite nach rechts wenn ich des richtig verstanden hab.
SemperLudere Kanal normalerweise sollten alle autos auf der linken spur bereits ganz links an der leitplanke stehen und alle anderen soweit wie möglich rechts. und zwar schon LANGE BEVOR auch nur ein anzeichen eines rettungswagens, feuerwehr oder polizei zu bemerken ist so dass die einsatzkräfte theoretisch mit 100km/h da durch brettern könnten. dann würde ich sagen: "hat super geklappt" aber sowas wie in dem video ruft einfach nur aggressionen in mir hervor...
Phippo Leider ist das Leben kein Ponyhof :) Und da es über Hauptklappt, ist schon 100mal besser als in den meisten andern Ländern. Aber ja du hast schon recht, Rettungsgasse muss immer gemacht werden ^^ wäre mal dafür allen im Stau die keine machen 100€ Strafe zugeben :D
SemperLudere Kanal ja, wäre ein leichtes dass die polizei einfach mit ihrer kamera die fahrt durch den stau aufzeichnet und wenn die rettung geschehen ist wird das videomaterial ausgewertet und jeder der sich nicht richtig verhalten hat bekommt ne strafe, fertig. was meinst du wie schnell die leute das lernen würden ne rettungsgasse zu bilden wenn sie in einen stau kommen... :)
+Phippo Das ergibt doch keinen Sinn. Manchmal sind zu viele Autos auf der Straße und die, die von hinten aufgefahren sind blockieren einigen Autofahrern den "Stellplatz". Oder Lastwagen, die auf der Mittleren Spur fahren, wo sollen sie bitte hin, wenn neben ihnen die rechte Spur völlig belegt ist? Und was ist mit Touristen? Ich meine die Regeln zu lernen ist eine Sache, aber zu wissen, wie man eine Rettungsgasse bildet ist doch eher ein Punkt der nicht so gewöhnlich ist. :O Ich bin nur froh, dass niemand in den Graben fährt, dass wäre nämlich ein weiteres Unfallrisiko. Strafzettel würden doch eher demotivieren ;/
M Jnicke Herzlichen Glückwunsch Sie sind passiv Mörder der Monats geworden. Erstens Straffen Motivieren, allgemein bewiesen sonst hätte ich sie wohl jetzt schon getötet. Zweitens, wenn alle leider anscheinend minderbemittelte Deutsche eine Rettungsgasse bilden würden, würde selbst der Hollländer mit ziehen, dank Herdentrieb. Und noch was glaube es oder tu es nicht, nicht nur Deutschland ist am Retten von Leben interessiert, Rettungsgasse gibt es auch in anderen Ländern, und für alle mt einem IQ entsprechend der Zahl des Lebensalter, die ist überall gleich. Und deine LKW Fahrer auf der Mittlerenspur würde ich am liebsten mit der Winchester aus dem Häuschen schießen, denn die haben dort nichts, absolut nichts verloren, die müssen rechts fahren, ausnahmslos! So da Sie mir unwissend genug erscheinen bewusst unbewusst Menschenleben unter das Eingeständnis, das alle Menschen so dumm seinen sollten wie Sie, zustellen, bitte begehen sie selbst Mord oder treten Sie niemals zur Führerschein Prüfung an, da ich mir vollends sicher bin, dass Sie Minderwertig, äh ich meine Minderjährig sind.
Kiky how tf should i know ? im never travel around the world to state that i can comfortably say that every one in the world tailgating the ambulance or police car like in indonesia u dumb fckin tool.
+cinesejr Got the joke, but beyond stereotypes, when it comes to an ambulance coming EVERYONE makes way. Lived in Italy my whole life and I've never seen someone driving like crazy impeding an ambulance.
Das überrascht mich etwas, bin es in der Regel nicht so gewohnt, wie gut es am Anfang funktioniert.. Normalerweise muss das Einsatzfahrzeug alle 20m anhalten, weil wieder ein Exemplar der Gattung Egoist den Weg versperrt.. Wie bei 0:45 eindrucksvoll zu sehen
ZorlacSkater Das nicht, aber stehe ab und zu im Stau :D Wie du dir denken kannst, bin ich jemand, der sehr auf die Rettungsgasse achtet, und das nicht erst, wenn man Sirenen hört :D
Ich würde den Leuten die absichtlich im Weg stehen am liebsten die Fresse polieren.. stell dir vor jemand den du sehr liebst ist in Gefahr und jede Sekunde zählt und dann steht so ein verdammter Egoist im Weg rum und stiehlt wertvolle Zeit, solche Leute sind in meinen Augen gleichzusetzen mit Mördern..
So ähnlich sehe ich es auch, nicht ganz so radikal, aber sie haben eine Mitschuld und die Einsatzkräfte sollten in meinen Augen keine Rücksicht auf solche Leute nehmen und deren Autos erbarmungslos aus dem Weg räumen, sofern es möglich ist
+Run Da Trap maybe its normal were u live here in puerto rico people dont give a shit and am,bulances has to go to sidewalks and over the grass ive never seen anything like this its rlly good
+Daathaan Efficient ? I don´t think so.At least not nowadays.Before I started to live here I thought the same way but if you´ll start to live here....no.
+Daathaan triggered lol. honestly he made a very valid point, they were germans, you stated germans. And hitler and his SS where certainly efficient at what they did. as horrible as it is, its just agreeing with youre statement and pointing out its flaws
Corbonzo In which case, I agree. And no, not triggered but being on UA-cam comments for so long, I tend to be offensive to anything in the vicinity of sarcasm or douche. My bad. ;_;
I´m living in Germany and i thought that this is completely normal... And i wonder that there are no Nazi comments :O The world is understanding that Germany isn´t the same like 70 years ago... ;) Nice to see! :)
I would be scared to drive in Russia. Seen so many videos of drunk drivers. Funny but scary. There was one, where I saw a tank drive casually across the middle of the road. #OnlyInRussia
Usually a bit better here, though I believe the video is showing a bad instance. Usually (where I live) the road is cleared at least 300m in front. That way, the emergency vehicles can drive uninterupted at top speed.
In germany you cant commit a greater traffic crime than blocking an ambulance-a fire truck or a police cruiser..people went to jail for this.rightfully so...next time it could be your life that needs saving....
Driving drunk will cost you a lot of money and you might get your license suspended. Blocking an emergency vehicle can get you to jail. Obviously if you drive your car through a huge group of people your punishment will be even more severe but at that point you'll be charged for murder and not for a trafic crime.
Wow, its amazing the percentage of people that actually knew what to do. Not like that here in North America. That has got to be the most annoying siren ever though.
fifa13spieler so what? When I'm responding through the city, I don't care if I wake people up - ofc I keep it to a minimum, but when needed I just switch the siren on, and btw. a wail siren and airhorn would wake you up as well. And btw I indeed can sleep, and I live directly at a main road leading towards a hospital
I don't know if it is a matter of the sirens being too quiet. A big part of the problem with modern vehicles is they are so well insulated to keep road noise and other vehicle noise out, they also do a great job at silencing emergency warnings too.
This is one of the things I admire most about Germany. They can actually DRIVE A CAR. They have very strict licensing standards as opposed to the USA, and for good reason. We NEED this so badly here, if anywhere!
+David McClelland LOL I wouldn't consider our lincencing standards particularly strict... It's just that other countries barely seem to have any standards ^^ I wouldn't mind to make our standards even stricter and I support the idea of "licence -Check-ups" / Check rides. I just love my unrestricted Autobahn too much ❤️
+Lassmiranda Dennsiewillja Yep - you have to jump thru many hoops before you an get a German licence and it is really expensive too. I was surprised how easy it was to get a licence in some other countries.
+David McClelland when u say germans can drive i dont wanna know how bad the normal murican drive a car in my opinion 50 percent of the people here should not be allowed to drive a car :D^^
+David McClelland Why do you think it is all about licensing standards, and not about people and their culture? I know it is the age of multiculturalism and the ideology of diversity and all, but people and their culture actually do matter a lot more than mere paper standards.
people don't know it because it's simply not true! You have to keep the emergency vehicle passing lane clear, but it does not depend on some emergency vehicle coming back or not
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos Darf ich wenn die Einsatzkräfte durchgefahren sind wieder in die Mitte meiner Spur zurück? Nein, denn es können noch Rettungsfahrzeuge folgen. Man sollte so lange die Rettungsgasse offen halten, wie der Verkehr nicht eindeutig fließt.
0:42 hmmm is every one making way for me? Wow nice! oh wait oh shit oh nooo what do i do now. let's slowly drive to a spot were i can fit in easly. Geeees... BTW: Their all out of the way already cause this is fire engine nr 3 on the scene...
all the other fire apapratus approached from the other direction, but the state police patrol car went through there before, but however, the emergency vehicle passing lane should be cleared as soon as traffic backs up which includes not waiting until they see or hear an emergency vehicle approaching
+MOAB Because nobody puts him obstracles in his (important) way? Its an very simple line of thought to handle this situation in the right way...cause may be the next help comes to you to save your life and you want getting it fast,too. So, an other reaction in such a case must to be stupid and arrogant-thats why this video is such a normal thing like breathing ;-) Best regards from Germany
+MOAB mauler Yes, that feeling is awesome. I was once driving an medical vehicle without any emergency-lights or sirens mounted. We were on our way back to HQ. Behind us some firefighters crossed the road on thier way to an emergency. The Drivers in front of me heard the noise of the firefighters and the same time saw our medical vehicle in thier mirrors ..... guess what: everybody in front of us went to the side. My mate and I grinned at each other and than I floored our van through traffic .... which made even more people checking thier morrors and moving over xDxDxD
of course they were supposed to stop, what else would you do when all lanes are blocked?! And btw, if you are standing at a red lgiht and an emergency vehicle approaches from behind, you are supposed to slowly go through the red light into the intersection in case they can't get around you otherwise
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos And why are all the lanes blocked? Because they have all stopped. They could easily keep on going slowly while freeing one lane for the emerc. vehicles.
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos There were many comments, and my answer was just a part of them. Usually all of the lanes aren't all blocked, as long as the humans are out of the crashed vehicles the lanes should be free. Then again, some said that you should always stop.
I'm learning German at my school. This is a good nation, I like it. Germans are polite and understandable. Proud for you, Germans! This is how it must be in every other country!
+gordelorth no one is driving. The lanes are all blocked and the cars are still. Yes we are supposed to get out of the way, but how often do you see all the cars on the highway clear the road like that during traffic?
+gordelorth Right?!? No shit. I'v lived in Japan, five US states and two Canadian provinces. Only a 3-5 times in my 34 years have I ever seen someone block an emergency vehicle without good reason. Not really that hard to make a path in traffic. Shouldn't underestimate people. Just do what the guys around you is doing. I've seen it a thousand times.
+KnG Media There was an accident that blocked the whole highway. No one was going anywhere. I feel like if everyone just stayed where they were it would have been easier since the emergency vehicle could just use the shoulder
+Hayden Anderson uhm not really; The shoulder is narrower than a normal driving lane, to get it into some perpective: pretty much as wide as a commercial truck chassis, just like this fire truck. They'd have some trouble driving down the shoulder, and keep in mind that we operate even larger, in terms of wider, emergency vehicles than just normal fire trucks. Those wouldn't have a chance on the shoulder. Apart from that the federal traffic law concerning the emergency vehicle passing lane between the driving lanes is relevant for ALL multilane roads outside the citylimits, which includes roads and parts of highways which don't even have a shoulder
I'm impressed that drivers so far ahead were able to hear the siren/see the lights, even with trucks potentially blocking sight and sound. I'm interested in the particulars of the ambulances' emergency lights and siren system that makes German emergency vehicles so noticeable and carry so far. For instance, I noticed the siren was much lower pitched than it usually is hear in the states so I can see how the sound carries a greater distance and through other vehicles.
technically, the siren you heard here, a set of martin horns type 2297 GM, are pretty much as loud as a Federal Signal Q, the mechanical siren you find on many American fire apparatus (btw, it wasn't an ambulance in the video, but either an Engine or Rescue Engine from a volunteer FD). However, German emergency vehicles tend to have relatively few lights: ambulances and full size fire trucks usually have a total number of 6 emergency lights: two on the cab, two in the grill and 2 at the rear. Emergency vehicles with more lights exist, but are rather rare. The ambulance at the EMS provider I work for has a total number of 18 lights and is really extraordinary in Germany. According to federal traffic laws, drivers are required to create an emergency vehicle passing lane between both driving lanes of a higwhay or another multilane road outside the citylimits as soon as traffic backs up, this includes, that they are supoosed not to wait until they notice an emergency vehicle approaching from behind, without knowing if there's actually an accident ahead or not. If it works perfectly, the lane is cleared before the 1st emergency vehicles reach the traffic jam
Rs Rt İt is actually really loud you can hear it even when you listen to music. And they probably guessed looking in their back mirrors that people are pulling over
Also it seems it is a traffic jam already so most people are not driving fast (or stopped). As you can tell by the end o the view the road is completely blocked and likely has been for at least a few minutes. Hope that helps decipher why everyone was rather good as telling there was something coming up from behind them.
brunoignaciogi I've been on the highway in Milan (Italy) and what happened was on the left lane, (5 lanes) the ambulance drove, all the fast cars drove behind it. I'm talking about ferrari's lambo's and a few other fast cars. Also we drove about 190 km/h on the highway and cars simply drove past us like we where doing 130 km/h.
Exactly. But at least they let the rescue alley open, not common in other countries where it is closed immediately and cars fighting to gain 100m with a quick start.
it was the first fire truck,, all other apparatus approached from the other direction; Maybe the state police highway patrol car went through there before this Engine / Rescue Engine did, but no other apparatus
I was driving my ambulance last week to an MCI on a freeway. Took 10 minutes chirping to get to our call. A few vehicles even tried to cut me off. Great time on SoCal freeways.
Ive read a lot comments about how loud the siren must be as they form the rescue alley far in front of the firetruck. As a german i can tell you that a rescue alley will be made as soon the traffic stops, not when you hear the siren, at this point its too late to form it. So traffic stops =》form the rescue alley. If its needed its allready there. The sirens are not louder than in US, Kolumbia, Austria, Chech Republik, croatia, Italy, denmark. Best greez from Bavaria.
I live in Germany, and last year had to be taken by ambulance to a hospital in another town. The guys acutualy drove right through a cornfield, just to get me to the hospital faster! There was a unexpected constrution site on the road, and they just went around it.
This is normal in all of Western Europe? At least in the Netherlands where I"m from 99% of people respond like this as well. We have more problems of people getting out of the way too fast or enthusiastically causing new danger.
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos Well in my experience it is. I have been driving for 20 years, and everytime an emergency response vehicle came up from behind, everyone mad eroom. I have never seen it happen differently.
I've seen numerous such ride along videos from the Netherlands and in all of them the traffic simply stayed in their lanes and all emergency vehicles passed the traffic jam by driving down the hard shoulder
no, or is there any traffic law in Britain which requires drivers to move over BEFORE they're are able to see or hear an approaching emergency vehicle?
so, what makes them move out of the way before they notice an approaching emergency vehicle, or to move out of the way even if there won't be any emergency vehicle responding?
Randy uhm they don't block the road but clear a lane between the driving lanes?! The road is blocked due to the emergency scene up ahead, with all lanes shut down. I thought it was obvious that traffic couldn't proceed in such a case ...
I’m British and cars will immediately move over to allow emergency vehicles to pass. Our roads can be a lot narrower than this one, and there’s multiple speed limits on different roads. It’s rare that someone won’t let an emergency vehicle past, but tbh there are a whole bunch of horrendous drivers here...
Tolle. Hier in Amerika alle Immigranten einfach ignorieren. Ich bin ein Feuerwehrmann und diese Dinge ärgern mich so sehr froh, dass die deutschen Leute diese Sanitäter und ihre Patientinnen respektieren, um sich tatsächlich zu bewegen. Viel Liebe aus den Vereinigten Staaten.
It is the law in the USA but like with anything else that requires thought process or common sense majority of Americans have neither. Born here and I'm still baffled by the amount of stupidity and inept people.hate to say it but it's true " fucking American Sheep"
+fufundb Nope, in the US there is a menagerie of sounds that bewilders and confuses....It should be standard as even us in the US know what it is and what to do.

It's weird when you are from germany because I thougt it was normal and everyone react like this 😅
I remember when I had just passed my drivers exam. We lived near the German border, so dad decided I needed some experience with a Freibahn. In the Netherlands you clear the most right driving lane. I heard the sirens, everybody going left and right and I panicked and my dad was screaming 'To the left! Goddammit! To the left!' So I ended up in the middle, dad screaming to drive as fast as I can in an effort not to block the ambulance. I almost crashed into a policecar. Police yelling at me and then at my dad, my dad yelling at me and police. And then the driver of the ambulance came round and very cool and calm said: Bitte Fraulein, we only have room for one.
yeah I thought it was pretty normal in America too lol
I don't know where you live, but overall it is definitely NOT normal on german roads. that is why the Feuerwehr and Polizei constantly make advertisements, because some people are either too retarded to build a Rettungsgasse, or too ignorant and egoistic.
this footage is a pretty rare occasion
normal in America is pull over than race to draft off of ambulance in back of it to be first on road again :P
+abdamit im german as well and u might live in bavaria if this is not normal for you...
Poor little black car was like 'aaaaaah where can I gooo? there is no spaaaceee aaaaah'
It actually looked really cute.
Federn. AHH THERE’s AN AMBULANCE! Where should go?Let me go to the right, wait no left, wait no right.
No that asshole is not poor! You can go to prison if you encumber the ambulanc vehicle! It can cost someone's live if they can not help
No, this guy had enough time to react. This is not cute, this is inability.
well maybe he is foreigner and doesn't know Germany rules especially when Germans learn that move during their driving licenses
In Poland it's the same. You can end up in jail for blocking a fire truck or ambulance.
well, then it's obviously not the same :D
Ok, I'm sorry :-)
you're a scumbag xDD
Speednike1 You Win !! lol
Good, really good. That's how it should be everywhere, those guys save lives, after all they aren't using the flashing lights and siren to screw around.
But... isn't that how it's supposed to be? Every single time I've heard a siren, this is how everyone reacts. In which country do people not do that?
Right? I thought just the same
CrazyHynter you have to realize that America is basically the worst country when it comes to people as a whole... this video is so fucking shocking to me actually. Never in my years of watching people drive and my year driving have I seen anything close to this
How things are meant to be aren't the same how as how things are. Look at America, it's meant to be a free great country.
Maybe the difference is, that we in Germany are obliged by law to create a corridor for emergency vehicle access whenever traffic slows you down to walking speed or when you come to a total halt. Even when there is no accident. There might be, you don't know.
Elibrius Project - That's not the case in the US. People are taught to move to the shoulder when they hear/see emergency vehicles. I've never seen anybody not move over for an ambulance, firetruck, police vehicle, etc. in the US.
thank you germans for your incredible efficiency at pretty much everything
Yeah for sure xD ....
Well you don't seem biased at all :D
yea that's why you have trump now xD

Andrew Schrock
Its not that easy to find a place when theirs so many cars around, at least he tried
this is normal in England...does the rest of the world not do this?
in England you pull over as soon as you see or hear them, however in this case drivers in Germany are required to pull over before they see or hear an approaching emergency vehicle
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos how the hell you gonna be required to pull over for something you can't see or hear? that's impossible...lmao
dramatic llama I was in the US often and there its definitely not normal, I feel like they don't have any respect of ambulances and FD :/
langlang87 If traffic stops you should immediately form a 'Rettungsgasse' so yeah its possible 😒
langlang it's as easy as it can be: no matter if you know that there's an emergency scene up ahead, as soon as you end up in a traffic jam, federal traffic laws require you to immediately create an emergency vehicle passing lane, not wainting until an emergency vehicle approaches. It's not impossible, just thinking a little bit further ahead
How did this get in my recommended?
youngg savage lmao get fucked.

As a paramedic in the USA I can say that we never get that level of respect when we drive code 3. People are so self absorbed these days and caught up with social media or music. They either don't care or don't know how to react when I pull up behind them. I don't like using the lights and siren but when I do it's because someone is having possibly the worst day of their life. Traffic accidents kill more first responders than anything else. I personally have lost a friend because of this. When I'm caring for my patient it's impossible for me to wear a seat belt in the back of the ambulance, so please when you see an emergency vehicle running code 3 slow down and pull to the right because they could be on their way to help someone you love.
impossible to wear a seatbelt? Why so? I don't have a problem caring about my patient and keeping the seetbealt on while beingin the back of the ambulance while driving...
I guess it really depends on the truck u are in. But I work in a large box unit when I sit on the bench and put a seat belt on I can't reach anything in the cabinets and if I have to do chest compressions it's impossible to do sitting on the seat. Where I work we don't have an auto pulse any such CPR machine. I do however have an impact aev vent. I have seen some newer sprinter type ambulances that appear to be better designed but I haven't had a chance to work in one
well, I work in a large ambulance as well, a Sprinter with a large box body with enough space for a crew of 4 or 5 treating the patient and preparing stuff before leaving the scene; We do everything we need before we are heading off towards the hospital, so I can remain on my seat with my seatbelt on the whole time; In case of critical changes in the conditions with further, far reaching actions necessary, we'd stop again
Where I work I don't have the benefit of extra help. It's usually just me and my emt partner and being rural transport times are very long. Because of that anything bad is usually load and go with me working by my self during transport. It's not very realistic for us to just stop on the side of the road just so I can reach something. I'm not saying that it's impossible to do everything sitting down saying u have everything within reach but my question to u is this. How is it possible for you to do good quality CPR sitting down and seatbelted in. You can't just stop and do chest compressions only when you are stopped. At some point you have to transport the pt. And mechanical compression machines don't work on everyone. So I'd really like to know your technique to accomplish this. I've never seen anyone sit and be able to do effective CPR
I'm at a ruralEMS provider as well, with the station being in a town halfway between all the surrounding hospitals; With 2 to3 on the ambulance, further crew members only come when the emergency doctor is dispatched from a neighbouring town.
Until now I didn't had to perform CPR while driving to the hospital
What a glorious country with such intelligent drivers. No wonder they have highways with unlimited speed.
And then there is the US where half the drivers don't understand the difference between the right and left lane on a highway...
+the b biddim Intelligent drivers? xD
Well, that's not that true... We've got a law that tells us to react like this when there is a sirene and blue light.
On the Autobahn you have to get space for the ambulance (etc.) between the left lane and the one right next to it.
You have to pay quite a lot to get a driving licence. For a licence to drive with a normal car, you need 14x 1 1/2h theory lessons and an amount of driving lessons with a qualified driving teacher including special lessons like driving on the Autobahn or at night. And only if you had all the required hours in theory and driving, you're allowed to do a theoretical test, and only if you passed it you can do your driving test. And theeen you've got your licence, so you don't want to lose it :D
For me it took from June to October to get mine and only because I trained for it (and I had free time to do it, if you have to work next to the driving school it will take way more time). :D
+the b biddim That is a myth. We have speed limits on the german autobahn. There are only a few areas with no speed limit.
+Sebastian Namyslik noo we actually do have alot without one. some say like 120 but thats bundesstraße, autobahn is normally unlimited
Sorry, you´re wrong. 53% are unlimited and 47% have a speed limit (30% generally and 17% temporary). So add the limited areas due to a cunstruction area and there is not many unlimited areas left. And on the interstate roads there is a limit of 100km/h, not 120km/h.
Tut mir leid, da liegst Du falsch. Stand 2013 waren 53% der Autobahnen mit keinem Tempolimit belegt und 47% waren limitiert, davon 30% ständig und 17% temporär. Wenn Du dann berücksichtigst das wir 2016 haben und die Vielzahl an temporären Tempolimits wegen Baustellen dazurechnest bleibt da nicht einmal die Hälfte die kein Tempolimit hat. Allein auf meinem Weg zur Arbeit sind von den 40km nur 10km ohne Limit.Und auf Bundesstrassen gilt Tempo 100, nicht 120.
That one poor car though, that just doesn't have anywhere to go...
theen it should have drove on until it found a spot. I see too many idiots who literally just stop on the side as soon as they see/hear an emergency vehicle approaching. they end up blocking the road and the emergency vehicle can't pass. They need to not be some short sighted they need to stop where the vehicle can pass them easily and quickly.
Well, he's just stupid, you have to make room for an ambulance by law before you stop on the Autobahn, even if there is none. So all drivers on the right lanes have to move over to the most right side of the lane and the left lanes' ones have to move left. So he just wanted to take over or is plain stupid.
My childhood in a nutshell - haha
Well, that was a stupid BMW driver ... there's always one ... BTW: I drive one myself ... ;-)
he did hes just a shit driver
I'm German and I really thought this wouldn't be a surprise to anyone. We learn how to behave in such a case in our driving lessons and I thought everyone would behave (or know he SHOULD behave) like that
I'm studying for my driver license in Belgium right now and it's a part of it like in Germany, they call it an "urgence corridor". I went on UA-cam to see what it looked like again.
@@cdemr the thing is, that in some countries, the driving license is really easy to get. For example, in the US (or at least in some states) you only have to bring a paper from your parents to school, where they sign that you took the driving hours with them. Then, you have to do a practical test on a small track, and you're good to go. The Theoretical test is a joke compared to EU standards, too. Oh, and I think you have to be only 17 or so ..
That's why many U.S. Citizens are kinda impressed by how good EU drivers are every so often. Because we actually learn shit about it. xD
I mean, I had to learn 1004 Questions for motorcycle theory, and only when i got ALL of them right, I was allowed to do the theoretic test. Answer incorrectly - do it again, but this time you have to do it right twice! >.>
@@trashblob yeah the EU driver is a pain in the butt, a long journey with an unfathomable number of steps but at least it's worth it
germans are the most educated & disciplined drivers... Germans should teached the all world how to drives
They would have, but they got shut down about 70 years ago.

- They probably smarter than Asians too.
- Germany does not tell how much money the country has because they want it secret. They are probably secretly, the richest country in this world.
- World Cup: Germany is improving in their soccer team also.
Isn't that....normal?

I work on an ambulance, and you'd be amazed at the stupidity of people in America.

Turtle Stache if i watching something like that i believe that i have no life😂
Why german in the title? This is basicly world wide law right? Here in Norway you will get punished if you do not move...
and still you don't see emergency vehicle passing lanes between both driving lanes in Norway. I have a ride-along video in Oslo, and one of the crew members had to get off the Engine in order to direct drivers ahead to move over
That could be a once off incident. Norwegians are hardly stupid people. Americans and Australians on the other hand.
I have never seen that. Every time an emergency vehicle is behind me I move. That said, assholes/idiots exist here just as any other place.

Not so much in the US. Cars often wait until the last minute to pull over. They even have problems crossing interceptions because noone wants to stop at a green light.
I'll bet that the Russian version of this is hilarious.

SakiyiKevseR Yes, in any European countries, you can get to jail if you block the emergency vehicles. Greetings from Hungary.
This is one good example, ok... But let me say (as a German), that there are thousands of situations where drivers seem to sleep while they are in the jam. Over the last few years the situation get only more worse. I guess it's because nearly every driver is texting and playing on the phone.
so what do you do in the US in case of such emergency?
123USAmuna nope
In Austria you have to pay 2400€ if you dont move to the side !!
Austria is the only country I know that is able to create a path for ambulances.

Damm! I'm a German and I live here. As I heard the siren, my neck-hair began to stay straight. I Love it cause in Germany you can say: when an accident happens (don't matter where) an ambulance just needs 10 to 15 Minutes to reach you. So that is the point: all drivers let ambulance Drive and Nobody has to die.
Honor to the Heroes of ambulance, firefighting and the Police! #love Germany
working in the EMS I gotta say that a 15 minutes drive is damn long for us
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos even in the farthest point of Alaska? in germany it's meant to be that EMS has to reach a person in need within 10min at every point of the country.
Soli DeVries
we were commenting onto a video from Germany, and I answered onto a comment which described the situation in Germany, not Alaska! And nevertheless how far the distances are somewhere in the outback of other countries, a 15 minutes / 15 miles drive is long for us. Keep in mind there are medical issues where the chance to survive decreases by 10% in each minute
And no you are wrong about the time limit in Germany: on the one hand, there are 16 different regulations according to the 16 different EMS state laws, which already differ from the point from when on the time is counted, and the response times limits range from 8 minutes in populated areas in North Rhine-Westphalia to 17 minutes in rural areas in Thuringia.. However this actually ain't a real limit, we only have to be able to kkeep within that limit in 95% of all responses / setteled people. Even if we respond at 140 kph in a 80 kph zone, it can be damn hard for us to keep within any of the given time limits

German car drivers react instantly and try to make the way free for the ambulance. I have never seen such helping disciplin in either country. They are trained and very careful drivers on any car way you might drive on. -- Hans Rosenthal (A.H.R.D.)
Hans Rosenthal ahahahahagagagaga... You never lived in Germany right? XD
Their movement was not a reaction to the vehicle filming. They had already let the other police/ambulance through as you can see them near the end of the video.
He says this comment yet they're probably responding to an accident done by said careful drivers. In America the emergency vehicles just drive on the outside of the solid white line. Don't have to turn cars into a Moses showcase
Are you joke? Thet is wrong what they there make and no one trining this. No one now how make it
The first line at the left side there all must go so far there are can go left and all others lines must so fare they can go to right this is not difficul and then i think why they make this
wow I thought this is normal to do, is it very different to other countries?
Herr Ultrafister
Leider ja! In Russland würde der Krankenwagen nicht mal 20 Meter schaffen.
Stephan Bijzitter there is an "emergency lane" in germany too, its on the right side and use by this firetruck near the end. However it is not considered to be the lane such truck has to drive threw, because there can always be another stranded car (maybe out of gas or some bullshit) to block that lane leaving the firetruck stuck. So the best way was chosen to open up space between the left and middle lane, because normally all cars on those lanes are still able to move out of the way.
Die Arachnologen Same in Poland. (Except Warsaw).
Herr Ultrafister you should look for some American video's about this...

This is what we call a "Rettungsgasse" :D
SaviOr747 die Hälfte hat alles falsch gemacht was man falsch machen kann....
Linn Amayako Oh ein deutscher! ja das Video muss sehr alt sein, denn heutzutage ist es noch schlimmer! In der Fahrschule lernt man, dass die Rettungsgasse Pflicht ist. Das ist den Leuten aber egal. Heutzutage ist es schon Seltenheit, dass man als Feuerwehrmann eine solche Gasse sieht, wenn man zum Einsatz auf die Autobahn fährt. Nur weil diese Egoisten zu faul sind und ganz schnell am Ziel sein wollen. Und deswegen sterben unschuldige Menschen bei Unfällen, weil wir Rettungskräfte nicht schnell genug oder gar gar nicht am Einsatzort ankommen. In Österreich zahlt man als Autofahrer 2000€, wenn man keine Rettungsgasse bildet. Da werden über Kameras die Kennzeichen gescannt und ein Bußgeld ausgeschrieben. Und in Deutschland wollen wir das auch durchsetzen. Denn ein Leben ist mehr wert als jedes Geld oder eine rechtzeitige Ankunft im Urlaub. Doch diese Strafe von 2000€ ist hoffentlich ein Denkzettel für diese Leute. Und es ist eine Schande, dass Leute aus anderen Ländern dieses Video sehen und uns loben, für etwas, was gar nicht mehr Realität ist. Und ja schon in diesem Fall habens manche nicht geschafft die Rettungsgasse zu bilden...

Sehr schön :) das ein oder zwei verpeilt, oder kurz überfordert sind ist klar, aber hat doch echt super geklappt :D
SemperLudere Kanal normalerweise sollten alle autos auf der linken spur bereits ganz links an der leitplanke stehen und alle anderen soweit wie möglich rechts. und zwar schon LANGE BEVOR auch nur ein anzeichen eines rettungswagens, feuerwehr oder polizei zu bemerken ist so dass die einsatzkräfte theoretisch mit 100km/h da durch brettern könnten. dann würde ich sagen: "hat super geklappt" aber sowas wie in dem video ruft einfach nur aggressionen in mir hervor...
Phippo Leider ist das Leben kein Ponyhof :) Und da es über Hauptklappt, ist schon 100mal besser als in den meisten andern Ländern. Aber ja du hast schon recht, Rettungsgasse muss immer gemacht werden ^^ wäre mal dafür allen im Stau die keine machen 100€ Strafe zugeben :D
SemperLudere Kanal ja, wäre ein leichtes dass die polizei einfach mit ihrer kamera die fahrt durch den stau aufzeichnet und wenn die rettung geschehen ist wird das videomaterial ausgewertet und jeder der sich nicht richtig verhalten hat bekommt ne strafe, fertig. was meinst du wie schnell die leute das lernen würden ne rettungsgasse zu bilden wenn sie in einen stau kommen... :)
+Phippo Das ergibt doch keinen Sinn. Manchmal sind zu viele Autos auf der Straße und die, die von hinten aufgefahren sind blockieren einigen Autofahrern den "Stellplatz".
Oder Lastwagen, die auf der Mittleren Spur fahren, wo sollen sie bitte hin, wenn neben ihnen die rechte Spur völlig belegt ist?
Und was ist mit Touristen? Ich meine die Regeln zu lernen ist eine Sache, aber zu wissen, wie man eine Rettungsgasse bildet ist doch eher ein Punkt der nicht so gewöhnlich ist. :O
Ich bin nur froh, dass niemand in den Graben fährt, dass wäre nämlich ein weiteres Unfallrisiko.
Strafzettel würden doch eher demotivieren ;/

Herzlichen Glückwunsch Sie sind passiv Mörder der Monats geworden. Erstens Straffen Motivieren, allgemein bewiesen sonst hätte ich sie wohl jetzt schon getötet.

Und noch was glaube es oder tu es nicht, nicht nur Deutschland ist am Retten von Leben interessiert, Rettungsgasse gibt es auch in anderen Ländern, und für alle mt einem IQ entsprechend der Zahl des Lebensalter, die ist überall gleich. Und deine LKW Fahrer auf der Mittlerenspur würde ich am liebsten mit der Winchester aus dem Häuschen schießen, denn die haben dort nichts, absolut nichts verloren, die müssen rechts fahren, ausnahmslos! So da Sie mir unwissend genug erscheinen bewusst unbewusst Menschenleben unter das Eingeständnis, das alle Menschen so dumm seinen sollten wie Sie, zustellen, bitte begehen sie selbst Mord oder treten Sie niemals zur Führerschein Prüfung an, da ich mir vollends sicher bin, dass Sie Minderwertig, äh ich meine Minderjährig sind.

+Daathaan triggered lol. honestly he made a very valid point, they were germans, you stated germans. And hitler and his SS where certainly efficient at what they did. as horrible as it is, its just agreeing with youre statement and pointing out its flaws

In soviet Russia, ambulance moves out of my way
I would be scared to drive in Russia. Seen so many videos of drunk drivers. Funny but scary. There was one, where I saw a tank drive casually across the middle of the road. #OnlyInRussia
LMAO best comment ever
This could be a "bad" Chuck Norris line
DepressoExpresso what If The Guy in The ambulance dies?😂😂
That’s just sad
Isn't this the procedure for all countries when emergency services have their sirens on?
Expectation? yes.
Reality? NO.
Oh some people are idiots
Yes this is also how it is in Denmark
This is also how we normally do it in norway.
Usually a bit better here, though I believe the video is showing a bad instance. Usually (where I live) the road is cleared at least 300m in front. That way, the emergency vehicles can drive uninterupted at top speed.
That's why Germans can have nice things ❤️
In germany you cant commit a greater traffic crime than blocking an ambulance-a fire truck or a police cruiser..people went to jail for this.rightfully so...next time it could be your life that needs saving....
Xipo86, nice try..
Xipo86 Nice try trolling, 2233golf2 was being serious.
Xipo86 or murdering someone... or blowing something up... or a large area. Terrorism.
Driving drunk will cost you a lot of money and you might get your license suspended. Blocking an emergency vehicle can get you to jail.
Obviously if you drive your car through a huge group of people your punishment will be even more severe but at that point you'll be charged for murder and not for a trafic crime.
The ambulance driver was playing GTA and he hit the right cheat code

Wow, its amazing the percentage of people that actually knew what to do. Not like that here in North America. That has got to be the most annoying siren ever though.
maybe exactly that's the point why people are moving over :D
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos
Maybe but i can tell you that you cant sleep if you get up through the siren
fifa13spieler
so what? When I'm responding through the city, I don't care if I wake people up - ofc I keep it to a minimum, but when needed I just switch the siren on, and btw. a wail siren and airhorn would wake you up as well.
And btw I indeed can sleep, and I live directly at a main road leading towards a hospital
where i live (norther cali) people get the fuck out the way
David Pallatin
they more or less did so here as well?! apart from that one idiot in between the lanes
In America, the sirens are so silent they to don't hear them until they're right next to you
Thumper Girl When I have music on, I almost never hear the siren.
It's a good idea to turn the music down if you know there is a hospital around.
L3ONARDO07
My family's music is always pretty quiet. You can only hear the sirens when the truck is right next to yku
wtf are you talking about
I don't know if it is a matter of the sirens being too quiet. A big part of the problem with modern vehicles is they are so well insulated to keep road noise and other vehicle noise out, they also do a great job at silencing emergency warnings too.
Scott L True. I don't usually roll down my windows, and when I do, I hear sounds in my car I hadn't noticed before.
This is one of the things I admire most about Germany. They can actually DRIVE A CAR. They have very strict licensing standards as opposed to the USA, and for good reason. We NEED this so badly here, if anywhere!
+David McClelland
LOL I wouldn't consider our lincencing standards particularly strict... It's just that other countries barely seem to have any standards ^^
I wouldn't mind to make our standards even stricter and I support the idea of "licence -Check-ups" / Check rides.
I just love my unrestricted Autobahn too much ❤️
+Lassmiranda Dennsiewillja Yep - you have to jump thru many hoops before you an get a German licence and it is really expensive too. I was surprised how easy it was to get a licence in some other countries.
+David McClelland when u say germans can drive i dont wanna know how bad the normal murican drive a car in my opinion 50 percent of the people here should not be allowed to drive a car :D^^
Agree! Russia needs a drivers restriction and safety standards too.
+David McClelland Why do you think it is all about licensing standards, and not about people and their culture? I know it is the age of multiculturalism and the ideology of diversity and all, but people and their culture actually do matter a lot more than mere paper standards.
0:45 tourist: "awhh, whats happening?"
A hell of a lot better than Americans. It shames me when I watch people in my country block emergency vehicles.

NarooluCA Lmao
Og
in germany thats illegal
Antisocial then.
And I'm the dude who notes down your license plate and reports you.
I believe the law over in germany is that every car does have to pull over as far as possible for an emergency vehicle
Yes and you have to make a "Rettungsgasse" between the left track and the middle.
and the law continues, you are not allowed to close the gap until the ambulance returns....Most ppl dont know that
people don't know it because it's simply not true! You have to keep the emergency vehicle passing lane clear, but it does not depend on some emergency vehicle coming back or not
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos Darf ich wenn die Einsatzkräfte durchgefahren sind wieder in die Mitte meiner Spur zurück?
Nein, denn es können noch Rettungsfahrzeuge folgen. Man sollte so lange die Rettungsgasse offen halten, wie der Verkehr nicht eindeutig fließt.
Nichts anderes habe ich gesagt, aber deine vorherige Aussage ist falsch!
anyone who has been involved in an accident and seriously injured waiting for help.can only be grateful. every second counts
0:42 hmmm is every one making way for me? Wow nice! oh wait oh shit oh nooo what do i do now. let's slowly drive to a spot were i can fit in easly. Geeees...
BTW: Their all out of the way already cause this is fire engine nr 3 on the scene...
all the other fire apapratus approached from the other direction, but the state police patrol car went through there before, but however, the emergency vehicle passing lane should be cleared as soon as traffic backs up which includes not waiting until they see or hear an emergency vehicle approaching
respect to people, to respect to ambulance
Except at the end we can clearly see it is a fire engine, not an ambulance.
+TheGameMakeGuy you call someone an idiot for correcting a mistake? brilliant
Yeah you can hear the siren it is a firetruck for sure.
+idontknow2rhhfhf You can not recognize at the siren if there is a fire truck or ambulance
+MrYellowBiker You can.

+MOAB Because nobody puts him obstracles in his (important) way? Its an very simple line of thought to handle this situation in the right way...cause may be the next help comes to you to save your life and you want getting it fast,too.

+MrZer000 parting the sea of cars so that the exodus...uuhm rescue may continue
+MOAB mauler Yes, that feeling is awesome. I was once driving an medical vehicle without any emergency-lights or sirens mounted. We were on our way back to HQ. Behind us some firefighters crossed the road on thier way to an emergency. The Drivers in front of me heard the noise of the firefighters and the same time saw our medical vehicle in thier mirrors ..... guess what: everybody in front of us went to the side. My mate and I grinned at each other and than I floored our van through traffic .... which made even more people checking thier morrors and moving over xDxDxD
Fire truck driver
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 how everyone should be unfortunately we got a lot of pricks
everyone should stop? fuck no. Slowing down to allow more control is fine, but never complete stop if not @ red lights. Come on.
of course they were supposed to stop, what else would you do when all lanes are blocked?! And btw, if you are standing at a red lgiht and an emergency vehicle approaches from behind, you are supposed to slowly go through the red light into the intersection in case they can't get around you otherwise
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos And why are all the lanes blocked? Because they have all stopped. They could easily keep on going slowly while freeing one lane for the emerc. vehicles.
uhm, they were blocked because the emergency scene ahead! They weren't able to proceed at all, all lanes were shut down!
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos There were many comments, and my answer was just a part of them. Usually all of the lanes aren't all blocked, as long as the humans are out of the crashed vehicles the lanes should be free. Then again, some said that you should always stop.

It's not that what we all are supposed to do?
I don't see what's the big deal.
+gordelorth no one is driving. The lanes are all blocked and the cars are still. Yes we are supposed to get out of the way, but how often do you see all the cars on the highway clear the road like that during traffic?
If an ambulance is coming?
all the time.
I admit is remarkable that they do it from more than two blocks in advance.
+gordelorth Right?!? No shit. I'v lived in Japan, five US states and two Canadian provinces. Only a 3-5 times in my 34 years have I ever seen someone block an emergency vehicle without good reason. Not really that hard to make a path in traffic. Shouldn't underestimate people. Just do what the guys around you is doing. I've seen it a thousand times.
+KnG Media
There was an accident that blocked the whole highway. No one was going anywhere.
I feel like if everyone just stayed where they were it would have been easier since the emergency vehicle could just use the shoulder
+Hayden Anderson uhm not really; The shoulder is narrower than a normal driving lane, to get it into some perpective: pretty much as wide as a commercial truck chassis, just like this fire truck. They'd have some trouble driving down the shoulder, and keep in mind that we operate even larger, in terms of wider, emergency vehicles than just normal fire trucks. Those wouldn't have a chance on the shoulder. Apart from that the federal traffic law concerning the emergency vehicle passing lane between the driving lanes is relevant for ALL multilane roads outside the citylimits, which includes roads and parts of highways which don't even have a shoulder
Yeah see in my country people dont do this. So respect for Germany
Here in the Netherlands we do the same, I always thought that this was normal all across the world
I'm impressed that drivers so far ahead were able to hear the siren/see the lights, even with trucks potentially blocking sight and sound. I'm interested in the particulars of the ambulances' emergency lights and siren system that makes German emergency vehicles so noticeable and carry so far.
For instance, I noticed the siren was much lower pitched than it usually is hear in the states so I can see how the sound carries a greater distance and through other vehicles.
technically, the siren you heard here, a set of martin horns type 2297 GM, are pretty much as loud as a Federal Signal Q, the mechanical siren you find on many American fire apparatus (btw, it wasn't an ambulance in the video, but either an Engine or Rescue Engine from a volunteer FD).
However, German emergency vehicles tend to have relatively few lights: ambulances and full size fire trucks usually have a total number of 6 emergency lights: two on the cab, two in the grill and 2 at the rear. Emergency vehicles with more lights exist, but are rather rare. The ambulance at the EMS provider I work for has a total number of 18 lights and is really extraordinary in Germany.
According to federal traffic laws, drivers are required to create an emergency vehicle passing lane between both driving lanes of a higwhay or another multilane road outside the citylimits as soon as traffic backs up, this includes, that they are supoosed not to wait until they notice an emergency vehicle approaching from behind, without knowing if there's actually an accident ahead or not. If it works perfectly, the lane is cleared before the 1st emergency vehicles reach the traffic jam
Rs Rt İt is actually really loud you can hear it even when you listen to music. And they probably guessed looking in their back mirrors that people are pulling over
Also it seems it is a traffic jam already so most people are not driving fast (or stopped). As you can tell by the end o the view the road is completely blocked and likely has been for at least a few minutes. Hope that helps decipher why everyone was rather good as telling there was something coming up from behind them.
In Germany you have to build a "rescue lane" (Rettungsgasse) as soon as the traffic stops... so they don't really have to hear the siren :)

+Robin J want a potatoe?

brunoignaciogi sorry to hear that dude... here in Indonesia also happen shit like that. not much humanity you can restore from that kind of attitude.
brunoignaciogi
I've been on the highway in Milan (Italy) and what happened was on the left lane, (5 lanes) the ambulance drove, all the fast cars drove behind it.
I'm talking about ferrari's lambo's and a few other fast cars.
Also we drove about 190 km/h on the highway and cars simply drove past us like we where doing 130 km/h.
toetsenbordheld i'm confused... did you meant ambulance escort those fast cars?
that's retarded, i mean... expensive fast car that cheap???

a123qwertz567 lool
Yea after 10 emergency vehicles went before it. I'd like to see how long it took for the fist fire truck to get all those cars to move over
Exactly. But at least they let the rescue alley open, not common in other countries where it is closed immediately and cars fighting to gain 100m with a quick start.
it was the first fire truck,, all other apparatus approached from the other direction; Maybe the state police highway patrol car went through there before this Engine / Rescue Engine did, but no other apparatus
It is very rare that the emergency alley is done without any problem..
I was driving my ambulance last week to an MCI on a freeway. Took 10 minutes chirping to get to our call. A few vehicles even tried to cut me off. Great time on SoCal freeways.
MrRideutah It's called "Rettungsgasse". If you aren't pulling to the sides of the highway police can pick you up and arrest you.
Ive read a lot comments about how loud the siren must be as they form the rescue alley far in front of the firetruck. As a german i can tell you that a rescue alley will be made as soon the traffic stops, not when you hear the siren, at this point its too late to form it. So traffic stops =》form the rescue alley. If its needed its allready there. The sirens are not louder than in US, Kolumbia, Austria, Chech Republik, croatia, Italy, denmark. Best greez from Bavaria.
The person driving the black car at 0:43 must have shit themselves because they couldn't pick a spot.
+6Twisted BMW driver ;)
+D2jspOFFICIAL bmw drivers are the best
+6Twisted I had to several times in situation like this actually drive pretty fast in front of the ambulance and pick spot on a go.
I live in Germany, and last year had to be taken by ambulance to a hospital in another town. The guys acutualy drove right through a cornfield, just to get me to the hospital faster! There was a unexpected constrution site on the road, and they just went around it.
This is normal in all of Western Europe?
At least in the Netherlands where I"m from 99% of people respond like this as well.
We have more problems of people getting out of the way too fast or enthusiastically causing new danger.
it's not normal in western Europe and also not in the Netherlands?!
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos Well in my experience it is.
I have been driving for 20 years, and everytime an emergency response vehicle came up from behind, everyone mad eroom.
I have never seen it happen differently.
I've seen numerous such ride along videos from the Netherlands and in all of them the traffic simply stayed in their lanes and all emergency vehicles passed the traffic jam by driving down the hard shoulder
this happens alot in the Uk too
DutchManticore da is helemaal waar
Time Brits learn some driving maners from the Germans
no, or is there any traffic law in Britain which requires drivers to move over BEFORE they're are able to see or hear an approaching emergency vehicle?
so, what makes them move out of the way before they notice an approaching emergency vehicle, or to move out of the way even if there won't be any emergency vehicle responding?
Randy uhm they don't block the road but clear a lane between the driving lanes?! The road is blocked due to the emergency scene up ahead, with all lanes shut down. I thought it was obvious that traffic couldn't proceed in such a case ...
I’m British and cars will immediately move over to allow emergency vehicles to pass. Our roads can be a lot narrower than this one, and there’s multiple speed limits on different roads. It’s rare that someone won’t let an emergency vehicle past, but tbh there are a whole bunch of horrendous drivers here...
As an American(U.S.A.), I've never seen so much discipline and respect on the road. This is just amazing, I wish it was like that here :/
In Portugal, in highways, we have a lane for emergencies. Outside highways, it's the same, you move to the side and give space for the ambulance.
In dubai u have to pay 10,000 DHS if u dont move to side
Nizamuddin Khan If you convert € to DHS, in Germany you have to pay up to 8,300 DHS if you fail to make way.

+fufundb
I bet most countries doesn't have a law about it at all^^
yeah,maybe its a rule in the US or some other country,but as i was in the US i was the only person who care about the ambulance :)
It is the law in the USA but like with anything else that requires thought process or common sense majority of Americans have neither. Born here and I'm still baffled by the amount of stupidity and inept people.hate to say it but it's true " fucking American Sheep"
