just some few examples for further compilations: - people pulling over and clearing the way for emergency vehicles better than expected - people blocking emergency vehicles - comparing a wider range of countries and using newer videos of people reacting onto sirens - comparing fire trucks from different countries, same with ambulances and police cars
This clips show so much double standard, You need to include more ASIA countries like Malaysia 🇲🇾 Japan 🇯🇵 or South Korea, this country is also so responsive to any emergency sirens 🚨 🚨..
Mainland European sirens are earrape I was in Rome and Barcelona last year and every time an emergency vehicle drove past me I had permanent hearing damage
I'm spanish living in the UK. In both countries the ambulance rarely has to slow down because everybody makes way for them in the moment we hear them in the distance. I call it being civilised.
In America, we also move to the side, for fire trucks, police, or ambulances, I think it's more of a problem in major cities because I've never seen people not move out of the way.
@@dr.wallacebreen3859 To be fair to the motorists shown in that American city, they didn’t have much in the way of options as to how to make a space. Here in Britain we do our very best to get enough room for them. There are videos from the European continent, Germany in particular, where the entire crowded roadway parts as if it were The Second Coming. Its heartbreakingly lovely to see.
I live in Berlin Germany and You’re right an ambulance always gets space to drive through. I am shocked to see that it’s not like that in other countries. It tells everything about the level of the minds of people.
As a french person, i can tell you that even if you live in a big city like Paris, you have to move when you hear the sirens. It could be firemen, ambulance or cops. They don't care if they have an accident with you, you're wrong, because you must let them pass, it's in the law. It's one of the first things that you learn in France when you want to drive.
Izumi Hak same. I don’t think I’ve ever seen what happened in Manhattan where I live. We always get to the side the moment we hear the sirens. Though I’ve never seen that much traffic either...
@@venus9604 I though that too, like in the part of the US where i live police are probably going to show up in your house with a citation to court for not letting an ambulance pass.
You know the difference between Germany and the USA/India/China is also in how the ambulance drivers act. When my sister is driving an ambulance and she'd be in a situation like in Idia. She'd just go straight over the sidewalk. In the USA she would tunnel through the vehicles blocking her on the sides and not really care for any scrapes she might do. Over here in Europe, if you don't make way for the ambulance, the ambulance will often make you give way.
There are certain cities in India that care less about ambulance, fire trucks, or any emergency vehicles. In my city, an ambulance can take up to 20 mins to cover a distance of 4-5 km.
2:50 I know exactly where the USA “unknown “ place is located. It’s 7th Ave South and Clarkson St. in Manhattan - Greenwich Village. I used to work near there, that’s why I recognized it. 😃
Fizzling_Fire12 To be fair, look at the gridlock - it’s not easy for hundreds of cars that are already tightly packed to move to the side to let the ambulance pass, probably why it takes so long.
Carm_ Gacha NYC is America's most populated city, And the one city that many/most foreigners associate with America, for how many foreign tourists fly over to visit. But the problem is: *NYC is an island based city, that's very small, ,and extremely urbanized* The contiguous 48 are a giant continental territory that's mostly suburban
I'm just imagining the poor person in that one German car that was freaking out trying to get off the way. Like " OMG OMG where do I go, I can't fit, ahhhhhhh"
@@elisadreamer9594 I don't think so, they were swerving all over the place looking for a spot to pull in and honestly just seemed pretty panicked. Probably a new driver that didn't really know how best to react.
@@decus9544 I drove once with a car for like 5 minutes and I would be able to do this, that's not so difficult and even when this person still was learning than there should be someone else in the car to help him/her.
In Canada, if you block an ambulance for too long, they will just take your plates and report you to the police. Most people just pull over to the side and clear the way, though.
My neighbour got a $1200 fine for not moving over for a firetruck in Hamilton, Ont. He was (and still is) quite an AH. He didn't think he had to move because it was a firetruck. Apparently he then immediately followed it so he can cut through traffic. =/ But yes, Canadians are usually incredibly good for moving over.
I'm from Michigan at age 19 I was in Canada nearly every weekend, and I never saw anyone block an ambulance even if they had to drive into oncoming traffic, I love how Canadians care for each other. I am sure there are Canadians who don't but I have never seen them.
Sadly not you could stand next to a drowning man and hold a life vest it’s only murder if you take the life vest away from the man you could even sit and laugh while holding the vest while he dies
@@isabellamerrigan8074 In what country?? Unless your own life is/would be at risk, you must always try to save a person in need, otherwise you get accused of "omission of rescue". At least, that's the law in Europe.
Andrea Pazzaglia nope in America if I was at a pool and saw a man drowning and I had a float I could stand and listen to him screaming for help as long as I don’t make things worst example if he has a float and I take it away or if I hold his head down otherwise I could just sit back and watch honestly America is fucked up
Some commenters here have been saying that Munich gridlocks very easily just like Manhattan, and the examples shown were only the highways and not the cobblestoned or very narrow city or village streets.
@@MainMite06 lol I follow this comment section for a long time already and I never read sth about Munich so far. Although Munich has the most traffic-prone main road in the country, there's no really a problem of gridlock traffic at all. Cobblestone street? How is the street surface relevant in that topic at all?
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos Name me one street and its city that is 4-lane cobblestoned. I know Russia and Central asian nations do have alot of unpaved 4-6 lane gravel streets
I used to be a firefighter in the UK, almost every call we got someone who turned the steering into the kerb thinking they were getting out of our way, but they forgot there's another half a car behind them! I noticed some in this video doing something similar, totally oblivious to the fact that they were still blocking the road. Driving lessons should include how to deal with emergency vehicles, a lack of training results in panic for too many drivers!
E.V. Townsend it’s like that in Canada, we move out of the way. In Texas apparently both sides of the road must stop & let the emergency vehicles pass.
Surely, the video from Poland is old but an ambulance is an utmost priority here in the heaviest possible traffic. Those who don’t yield are considered offenders (in non-legal terms as well).
In cities since always. But when it comes to traffic/accident on highways it wasn't so from the beginning. People just didn't have such experience in 1980' and '90. But, honestly saying, we've applied ,,Rettungsweg" on highways from German drivers and it works preety well right now.
@@l4ndk3ks14 Doch, Man kann. Das ist immer so, und wann nicht, da kann Man ohne Zahne das Fahrt enden, oder später auf dem Parkplatz ein paar löcher in Reifen zu haben, wann ist Man ,,spoted" als ,,dieses Idiot, wer hat den weg für Rettungsdienst blockiert". Aber es gibt Idioten im jedes Land. Entschuldige für Schreibfehlern, wann gibts welche, ich nutze keinen Translator und Deutsch ist nich meine Sprache.
I bet if you use a ak 47 shooting on people there iam sure of if it they won be stubborn to stay were there are if someone is dying they should just shoot idiots like that
if ever I'd get an accident, I'll go to Poland or germany. if I'm dying in india might as well don't get me an ambulance, let me die in peace than hearing those beeping noises and still die
Once when I was walking in Delhi, there was a huge traffic jam on a street to enter a Mall! And there was an Ambulance blowing its siren, waiting to pass the people who wouldn't budge because they valued their parking spot more than someone's life! I asked this mall traffic guy to do something, but he replied "They (the ambulance) are probably faking the siren just to get by". I was horrified. I told the guy he has to give the ambulance the benefit of the doubt! The only city in India where I have seen cars actually move to let an ambulance pass by is Bangalore. So I just wanted to say try not to be in an ambulance situation in India (:'))
I‘m from Germany and seeing how people in other countries react makes me sad. Imagine you beeing in the ambulance car or one of your family/friends. Btw you have to pay money if you don‘t get out of the way fast.
I've heard stereotypes about German people being very strict , efficient and organized... As If that was a bad thing. Here in Mexico we could learn a thing or a hundred from their culture about getting things done.
Im from the us and here yes people react like a person should we move out of the way and let them pass its ussualy like that clip of germany but more crowded cities have a harder time of moving. Places like New York LA and other big cities have that problem but otherwise most cities and towns will part way and let them pass (my city Albuquerque in New Mexico is polite and will imedately move). Its just a matter if they have space to move or just don't care.
Same here in Poland, you have to pay a fine if you don't let the ambulance pass by. It's also one of the laws in the driving codex. Fun fact, ambulance is authorized to smash your mirror etc. If you don't move out of it's way
Yeah what about the Falschparker? Someone died in a burning building AGAIN because of illegal parked cars. Same mentality as those who don't let an ambulance pass. But still much better than many countries. No empathy at. Don't let it consume you.
Learning how to response to an ambulance is part of the training to get your drivers license in the Netherlands. In Germany they are better at it to be honest, the will provide a free lane whenever there is congestion, for emergency vehicles, even if there are none. Very polite and very considerate.
As a Polish guy let me tell you, it's not that hard to make space. Even in worst traffic, you somehow always find space to let the ambulance through. I can't imagine standing with the ambulance stuck behind you, and hear the death clock of their patient waiting ticking away at you.
@Ben Davidson not clogging up intersections would be a good starting point. I don't know if it's dumb drivers or dumb road rules, but you never get that in UK/Europe. Look at the taxi driving in, how is that going to help the situation. Just coz he has a green light doesn't mean going through is the best option
@@adamzbucki4736 It's literally illegal in the EU. It is a question in driving tests. If you believe you may have to stop in the intersection, you stop before, until you have a clear way.
@@a.florschutzcamplin9011 Nein, das wäre ja die schlimmste Lösung 😂 Die Linke nach links, weil dort kein Platz mehr ist. Die rechte auf den Standstreifen bzw so weit wie möglich nach rechts und die mittlere auf den rechten Streifen bzw so weit es geht. Left lane goes left. There wouldn't be enough space for another lane so the right lane has to move as far to the right as they can and the middle lane too. The shoulder lane gives enough space to do it.
We have the German system in Belgium now too, when traffic slows down, we already prepare a passing lane for ambulance by left cars hugging left and right cars hugging right, so if there is an emergency vehicle, it can get through
Same here in Norway, even though it's not "automatic" yet. It's also great for recovery vehicles. It can be a big problem on motorways when the ambulance and police gets straight trough, but the recovery vehicle is stuck in traffic.
Perhaps while you are at it, fix the road surface somewhat?😅😉As soon as I rode in to Belgium years ago I thaught: Shit I have a flat tire! 😆 Love from your neighbour 🌷🌷
@@MokumHVBHaha, painfully true! It's uncanny when driving from the Netherlands into Belgium you don't need to watch the road sign, just listen to the noise your car makes, once it' goes from smooth to very rough, welcome, you've come to Flanders. 😅That said, I've driven around in LA a few years back, and they makes our roads look like yours in comparison. 🤣
Last Sunday I had some heavy traffics and full traffic stops in Germany, was on the left side and pulled over as much to the left as I could. Everyone behind me followed this, most in the front also did. Just one guy in front of me did the exact opposite and was as much to the right as possible. Those are the as*holes that having trouble if emergency vehicle comes suddenly from the backside.
Looks more like "how OVERPOPULATED CITIES react to an ambulance" because where I live in Michigan, people usually pull over to the side of the road and clear the way
I live in north Carolina and if there is an emergency vehicle you have to pull over to the right and you have to let the ambulance go regardless of if it is your turn or the traffic lights say so.
I live in the United States and I wasn't alarmed by the German or other European countries ambulance sirens. I would have moved out of the way as best I could.
Its getting even better in europe cuz in most countries we are now taught to make a clear path in advance when there is traffic. So that if an ambulance would come trough it already has space
@Jasmin Hamid yeah i know bro awareness is not so much in india but you know the southern part of india is not like this nd not every person is like this
Mark Jones Not really. I have seen this Asian version of this video. In fact, many are also good such as Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and so on. And one more thing, in most countries I have traveled so far. Asians are the friendliest I have ever met.
Yeah it should be but way too often it doesn’t work. In germany you find videos of ambulance or firefighters having to stop in the middle of the road and get out just to tell people to move the fuck away. And there are also people who want to abuse the the cleared road which often leads to blocking the emergency cars behind the first one.
Basically, this is the story of how two Indycar drivers died: *Dan Wheldon* (was unconsious after hitting the fence and died on the way to hospital via helicopter), and Eddie Sachs (was alive after his accident, but his injuries were severe enough for him to die at the hospital)
In Germany we already make a "Rettungsgasse" (a path for any potential ambulance), when we have an upcoming traffic jam. This is also something you are teached in driving school. If you don't understand and follow the rules, you will not obtain your license.
Why is everyone like "German ambulance sounds so scary" i dont really know but to me Indian one is like a siren you should evacuate when you hear it, German one is normal
No the German one I think it's an firetruck not am ambulance but the rules are the same for ambulance and firetrucks, if you don't make the road free for them you get a fine
I live in a city in the US and I was in stop and go traffic one day and I see the people in front of me moving to the side and I immediately check my mirrors and see the ambulance coming, so I move to the side as well. In the middle of bumper to bumper traffic everyone found a space to move their car out if the way. It’s not that hard.
how did north america try tho? everyone just remained as was and did't even attempt to make space. EDIT: as far as I see it there's plenty of space to both sides. Driving up that close to the vehicle in front, that it's "bumper-to-bumper" that you can't make room for an ambulance, is a mistake in and of itself. Yes, I know that the footage shown was just of the United States (and in that regard only New York, though I wouldn't have been that specific, even though I can see how very different the whole situation could resolve in even this very same city), not the whole north america. I just didn't bother to correct like some oh so smartasses apparently do (not referring to those who kept it at least polite).
Notice how in Europe (and in my experience it is the same throughout the continent) everyone gets out f the way asap. You occasionally get the odd grannie who gets a little discoordinated etc, but in the main a path is created for all emergency vehicles in Europe. Whether it is a question of respect, good manners or a higher value of life than other parts of the world it is hard to tell, but it is a social norm and rarely diverged from.
Some countries are very inexperienced to car culture and that inexperience shows that these nations don't know how to build, educate nor plan emergency vehicle routes.
@@MainMite06 It's a waste of productive space , especially in large cities like New York , LA , Hong Kong , Singapore , Beijing , and etc. The government's main goal for roads is to make their citizens Mobility to be as high as possible to increase productivity an extra lane taken out could cost more money thank you think We all should just learn from Poland and Germany
In many European countries, it is forbidden by law to block the road for an emergency vehicle, and that you can temporarily break any driving laws if it helps in leaving space for the emergency car
the laws are different from one country to another one ... thus in some countries you have to pull over and stop, in others you don't have to do so but only clear the path, and in some places you have to pull over before being able to see or hear an approaching emergency vehicle
I'm not sure about all states but it's the same in California. It's just that a lot of time there's no space in big cities for all the cars to get out of the way
In Poland we have TV commercials specificaly made to teach people to make room when the ambulance is driving,because it might as well be their family member or a friend fighting for their life in that ambulance.They make a commercial and air it,and after some time,when the problem arises again,they make another ones
@@starkermann8119 When it comes to infrastructure and things like this one with the ambulances I'll agree,but I wouldn't say the same about the polish goverment (that's my opinion,you can like it or not,idc)
I live in Poland and there's not even a situation someone didnt make the space for ambulance. Everyone do that, no matter what and who, it's a thing I am proud of.
:))) i live in Bangladesh in city called barisal they will give u space if ambulance siren happens :)) & i like it good to know Europe gives the whole road :)
Mainland suburban America isn't *anything* relatable to Manhattan nor anything else to NYC. There's usually lots of room to move over, or the ambulance gets alternative routes.
Dont see anything wrong in the reaction in manhattan...you cant really give way immediately to ambulance in a traffic like that...atleast cars give way when they have chance
@@jack_harper i think they have rules for vehicle speed. It's very slow indeed. But it's also one of the reasons japan has quite low rate for car accidents. But I'm not really sure, correct me if I'm wrong.
The Germans as efficient as ever. Hats off to them, but there is some comfort for the rest of the world to know that even in Germany there's always one 7:07!
@Haus iirc there has been an accident in the Germany clip, and emergency vehicles were already at the spot, and the traffic was already stopped, so the cars were clearing the path for emergency vehicles because they had went through already. The cam ambulance is just late and arriving to a clear path
@@alejandroroldan6398 "Specially in the US." You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. The two clips were in Manhattan, the most densely populated area in the U.S. The majority of America is suburban, with plenty of space to move, which is what we do.
Αλέξανδρος Roλδαν sorry that my fellow Americans roasted you. I was gonna say the same thing as them but more polite lol. I live in suburbia in CT and we definitely go to the side to let the ambulance through, but I’ve never seen an ambulance on a highway so that would be interesting to see here in my state. But I thought it was interesting that all the cars completely stopped in Germany. here we go to the side but keep going (unless we cant keep moving lol) but it’s just cool that everyone in Germany worked together since I know even in my state there are some people who don’t care.
In Germany you actually have to clear a path for the ambulance even if there is no ambulance coming. You can lose your license if you are in the way of an emergency vehicle
@@elemwitt4604 you have to clear a path even if there is no ambulance (for example in a traffic jam you need to keep a gap open between the left most and the lane next to it). Although people don't always do it perfectly it has become better in recent years
Everyone in comments: Scared of the German siren Most European countries: Hey that sounds familiar Also from my own experience whenever we hear a Ambulane, fire truck or police we always stop and make place in Belgium like Germany. People blaming it on "populated cities" shouldn't be complaining since this video and my own experience is from hour long traffic jams on high ways
I mean, here in Germany you actually have to pay high fees if you don't move outta the way when you hear the siren of an ambulance, fire truck or police car. And since it is possible even in cities there really is no excuse of why other countries aren't able to do just that too
In the germany example, it makes you wonder whether he ambulance would actually be able to drive faster by not using a siren and instead follow the highway traffic flow speed
@@abbygalerowe6775 video from warsaw is old, now there's much more traffic and people still let ambulance go first everywhere, even in traffic jams they can let it pass somehow. And its like that in whole Poland, and also in most of european countries.
Thank you ! Im from Poland and today when i was walking an ambulanse was on its way, every single car moved to the sides as soon as they could. Without a hustle! They calmly gace the ambulanse a completely clear road and after it passed they calmly went back to their normal positions without honking etc. It was so heartwarming for some reason, I also saw them do the same thing for a police car a few minutes ago.
I live in Poland, where we always give space on a road for an ambulance. Seeing that in some countries, people don't give a shit about an ambulance driving to save someone, makes me really angry and sad. 🤨
getting in the way of emergency vehicles is normal in america, coming in america. Here in michigan, it aint that bad, but everywhere else is a cluster fuck
@@AOSMAKAKMS Right? This didn't seem representative at all; the metropolis density levels seemed far more indicative. Also, the last one is conveniently open, like emergency vehicles have already been through so the traffic's already cued for this one...
In Germany in heavy traffic on the highway everyone will make another free lane by going left and right just in case there's an ambulance coming. So not when they hear the siren, but way before in preparation for it.
If you dont follow the instructions on the signs " how to make up space" ( in Germany its called "Rettungsgasse", a Term in english for that can be a kind of "ermegency path"), which are everywhere on the Autobahn, you get very high fined.
One of my worst 911 calls was a 5 year old hit by a car in front of her mother. She was screaming in one ear to hurry up and the medics were in the other saying they were delayed because no one would get out of the way.
@@mr.spaceaids5379 Also upgrade the ambulance to an anti-zombie car so that you can just slam through all cars in your way.And then hire a psychopath to drive.
Germany and Poland were quite good, but nothing beats Liberty City. People will actually kill themselves if they hear sirens. Like, drive off a bridge. And then its not even an emergency, just a crook taking a stolen ambulance for a spin.
I remember when I was in Germany and we also were in 3 lane traffic and every single car in all 3 lanes moved to the side diagonally making a whole empty lane for the ambulance
If your blocking ambulance your should get a fine so high you cant pay your cars gas no more.. Those assholes should get so destroyed that they jump off a bridge... Fines for that in germany still not enough
Exactly. Gridlocked traffic in New York where there is no where to pull over is not a very fair representation. Poland was light traffic compared to New York and the Germany clip seems obvious that there were previous emergency vehicles making paths ahead for there to be that much of a corridor created in advance.
I thought it was common sense to move when you hear siren car. In Europe it is common. I'm from Estonia and ambulance sounds like German one. People pull to the side even when it's dangerous and have attitude like "Help the person in need meanwhile I'm almost crashing into lake that's next to the road... Don't worry about me I'll swim"
Well in new York it's usually so busy there's traffic on the sidewalks. But most people move out of the way since it's a law of course. But you do get those arrogant karens and kyles who think the road is there's and only there life matters
As an American, i have only seen someone fail to move for an ambulance once and a cop pulled them over and chewed them out harder than a mother to their drunk son.
When about a year ago an ambulance was stopped on a toll point in Poland (like shown on this video from Japan) the driver got pissed, hit the pedal and drove through that fucking barrier.
Honestly, its a big dent in the hood and bit of plintered wood/bent plastic vs a potential human live or lasting injury. In an emergency seconds can make the difference.
In France, the barriers automatically detects if it's an ambulance/police/firemen vehicle and opens before the vehicle arrives so there is no need to stop.
As a retired UK Ambulance Paramedic I find the responses in the drivers of some countries mind boggling, at least in Europe drivers actually give way (like here in the UK) to emergency vehicles, because we care, so many people abroad seem to not give a sh!t about someone else when one day that attitude means no-one will give a sh!t about them in their time of need, especially in India, where Karma is a thing. We also have a concept here of Hard Shoulders on Motorways, exclusively for Emergencies, including vehicle breakdowns, and only the Emergency Services can use these in heavy traffic, although like in Germany and Poland, the traffic will part like the waves on UK roads & streets for an emergency vehicle. Either the rest of the World is populated by selfish arseholes, or we just care more for each other in Europe?
Answering your question: India: an impoverished, obscenely overpopulated country with a low bar for driver's licenses. Drivers honking at red lights is such a bad problem they had to install penalty lights at some intersections which increase the delay in response to honking. Drivers treat lanes as a suggestion, so a 2-lane road typically has four or five columns of vehicles on it. China: overpopulated and nobody gives a rat's posterior about anyone else. There are more than a few videos out there of people seeing someone in a life-threatening situation and just ignoring them, due in part to screwed up liability laws, but due in part to a systemic lack of regard for human life. What's the value of one life when there's 1.4 billion of them? United States: videos are from the most densely populated cities (e.g. Manhattan). Like anywhere else, population density is inversely proportional to empathy. These are also the richest people in America, the same sociopaths responsible for many of the nation's problems. However, the US is a very, very large place, with many different population distributions and types of people. In many areas, traffic is not bumper-to-bumper and people are courteous to each other. However, I do have to concede that a disappointingly high percentage of people are a-holes and can be found anywhere. The requirements for car ownership and driver's license are also less than ideal, but necessary due to the sprawling geography and lack of mass transit. (not appearing in this video) Russia: dear god, Russia. Given the poverty, long history of getting screwed by their government and corruption, it's not terribly surprising that Russian roads are a free-for-all. TL;DR: overpopulation and poverty (or extreme wealth) lead to people acting like a-holes.
Here in Australia we all get out of the way for emergency vehicles, it can be a tight squeeze in certain parts of the country ( cities etc) but we manage to get them all through to where they need to be. Just being curteous and respectful to our emergency workers here is a big thing. I couldnt beleive some of the clips shown here of what appears to be a selfish refusal to make way for them, just beyond belief.
Imagine GUYS when the hell did I say I don’t care about wearing a mask? I’m talking about how most the US pulls over for an ambulance. Get the fuck out of here.
Imagine GUYS Wow had to delete your last reply? Pussy. Majority of Americans pull over for emergency vehicles so you’re wrong right there. And the only thing wrong with America right now is ignorant people going around calling everything racist when it’s not.
Imagine GUYS The video is about an Ambulance, not COVID. Yes COVID is bad here but there a hundreds of thousands of false cases. Many states just admitted to counting other illnesses and deaths as COVID.
Emergency situation faced by ambulance driver contrywise China : Bus will sidetrack you to hit the divider India : Cars will start racing with you USA : Nobody's gonna move. It's time to rest Poland : GTA mode activated Japan : It's a great sunny day. We can go as if nothing is happening Germany : The streets are ours... We are the king
Okay, Number 1. "China" is actually Jakarta Indonesia indicated by the left hand traffic and the Euro-style liscence plates Number 2. *Both USA clips were set in tiny & densely packed Manhattan NYC* where it's easy for traffic to gridlock, where as most cities in USA are suburban & most people do move over whenever sirens are heard! Number 3. Not all people in India are this mindless about ambulances & certain people in certain cities do move over

- people blocking emergency vehicles
- comparing a wider range of countries and using newer videos of people reacting onto sirens
- comparing fire trucks from different countries, same with ambulances and police cars

first one is indonesia sir not china
In Canada, people move away pretty quickly. The first time I saw it, I was shook to see how people would automatically move on the side of the road !
In Poland if you don’t move out of the way, you’ll also need an ambulance.

To be fair to the motorists shown in that American city, they didn’t have much in the way of options as to how to make a space.
Here in Britain we do our very best to get enough room for them. There are videos from the European continent, Germany in particular, where the entire crowded roadway parts as if it were The Second Coming. Its heartbreakingly lovely to see.
I live in Berlin Germany and You’re right an ambulance always gets space to drive through. I am shocked to see that it’s not like that in other countries. It tells everything about the level of the minds of people.

So, as well as in Ukraine calling firefighters 1 hour before the fire happens XD
Same in my town call a firetruck an hour before heart attack

Indian people would be scared af when they get diseases
As a french person, i can tell you that even if you live in a big city like Paris, you have to move when you hear the sirens. It could be firemen, ambulance or cops. They don't care if they have an accident with you, you're wrong, because you must let them pass, it's in the law. It's one of the first things that you learn in France when you want to drive.
Where I live in USA we have to do the same, I’m surprised to see that in some places they don’t do it
Izumi Hak same. I don’t think I’ve ever seen what happened in Manhattan where I live. We always get to the side the moment we hear the sirens. Though I’ve never seen that much traffic either...
In philippines they will give way to ambulance and then they will follow the ambulance so they can get out of traffic fast hahahahaha
@@venus9604 I though that too, like in the part of the US where i live police are probably going to show up in your house with a citation to court for not letting an ambulance pass.

You know the difference between Germany and the USA/India/China is also in how the ambulance drivers act.
When my sister is driving an ambulance and she'd be in a situation like in Idia. She'd just go straight over the sidewalk. In the USA she would tunnel through the vehicles blocking her on the sides and not really care for any scrapes she might do.
Over here in Europe, if you don't make way for the ambulance, the ambulance will often make you give way.
The first one is not in China, everything in that footage is so wrong. China drives to the right not the left...

There are certain cities in India that care less about ambulance, fire trucks, or any emergency vehicles.
In my city, an ambulance can take up to 20 mins to cover a distance of 4-5 km.

@@narrington7453 yep new yorker here, ive taken that bus.

In Canada, if you block an ambulance for too long, they will just take your plates and report you to the police. Most people just pull over to the side and clear the way, though.
My neighbour got a $1200 fine for not moving over for a firetruck in Hamilton, Ont. He was (and still is) quite an AH. He didn't think he had to move because it was a firetruck. Apparently he then immediately followed it so he can cut through traffic. =/
But yes, Canadians are usually incredibly good for moving over.
I'm from Michigan at age 19 I was in Canada nearly every weekend, and I never saw anyone block an ambulance even if they had to drive into oncoming traffic, I love how Canadians care for each other. I am sure there are Canadians who don't but I have never seen them.
hahahahahaahahahahaha we might be in the same country but we are not from the same place
Good!
Anyone who didn't move just murdered someone. If that person ended up dying
Sadly not you could stand next to a drowning man and hold a life vest it’s only murder if you take the life vest away from the man you could even sit and laugh while holding the vest while he dies
@@isabellamerrigan8074 that's still considered manslaughter
Maybe in your country, I don’t know anything about theirs laws but if they could get charged with that, I’m sure they would have moved out of the way
@@isabellamerrigan8074 In what country?? Unless your own life is/would be at risk, you must always try to save a person in need, otherwise you get accused of "omission of rescue". At least, that's the law in Europe.

Surely, the video from Poland is old but an ambulance is an utmost priority here in the heaviest possible traffic. Those who don’t yield are considered offenders (in non-legal terms as well).
In cities since always. But when it comes to traffic/accident on highways it wasn't so from the beginning. People just didn't have such experience in 1980' and '90. But, honestly saying, we've applied ,,Rettungsweg" on highways from German drivers and it works preety well right now.

Once when I was walking in Delhi, there was a huge traffic jam on a street to enter a Mall! And there was an Ambulance blowing its siren, waiting to pass the people who wouldn't budge because they valued their parking spot more than someone's life!
I asked this mall traffic guy to do something, but he replied "They (the ambulance) are probably faking the siren just to get by".
I was horrified. I told the guy he has to give the ambulance the benefit of the doubt!
The only city in India where I have seen cars actually move to let an ambulance pass by is Bangalore.
So I just wanted to say try not to be in an ambulance situation in India (:'))
Australia is like Poland too
Amost every country in Europe has that. So we're good.
I‘m from Germany and seeing how people in other countries react makes me sad. Imagine you beeing in the ambulance car or one of your family/friends. Btw you have to pay money if you don‘t get out of the way fast.
I've heard stereotypes about German people being very strict , efficient and organized... As If that was a bad thing. Here in Mexico we could learn a thing or a hundred from their culture about getting things done.
Im from the us and here yes people react like a person should we move out of the way and let them pass its ussualy like that clip of germany but more crowded cities have a harder time of moving. Places like New York LA and other big cities have that problem but otherwise most cities and towns will part way and let them pass (my city Albuquerque in New Mexico is polite and will imedately move). Its just a matter if they have space to move or just don't care.
Same here in Poland, you have to pay a fine if you don't let the ambulance pass by. It's also one of the laws in the driving codex. Fun fact, ambulance is authorized to smash your mirror etc. If you don't move out of it's way

Learning how to response to an ambulance is part of the training to get your drivers license in the Netherlands. In Germany they are better at it to be honest, the will provide a free lane whenever there is congestion, for emergency vehicles, even if there are none. Very polite and very considerate.
As a Polish guy let me tell you, it's not that hard to make space. Even in worst traffic, you somehow always find space to let the ambulance through. I can't imagine standing with the ambulance stuck behind you, and hear the death clock of their patient waiting ticking away at you.
In Slovenia we make space for them at all locations, at all times... Yes, also tunnels.
@Ben Davidson not clogging up intersections would be a good starting point. I don't know if it's dumb drivers or dumb road rules, but you never get that in UK/Europe.

There wouldn't be enough space for another lane so the right lane has to move as far to the right as they can and the middle lane too. The shoulder lane gives enough space to do it.
We have the German system in Belgium now too, when traffic slows down, we already prepare a passing lane for ambulance by left cars hugging left and right cars hugging right, so if there is an emergency vehicle, it can get through
Same here in Norway, even though it's not "automatic" yet. It's also great for recovery vehicles. It can be a big problem on motorways when the ambulance and police gets straight trough, but the recovery vehicle is stuck in traffic.

In many European countries, it is forbidden by law to block the road for an emergency vehicle, and that you can temporarily break any driving laws if it helps in leaving space for the emergency car

the laws are different from one country to another one ... thus in some countries you have to pull over and stop, in others you don't have to do so but only clear the path, and in some places you have to pull over before being able to see or hear an approaching emergency vehicle

But u have to remind them constantly to practice the "acident lane". It's not that good in every traficjam.

You should see Norwegians, even better.
@Haus iirc there has been an accident in the Germany clip, and emergency vehicles were already at the spot, and the traffic was already stopped, so the cars were clearing the path for emergency vehicles because they had went through already. The cam ambulance is just late and arriving to a clear path
But in Germany it‘s often not that good
Isn’t the german one how all ambulances should sound?? Why are people scared
They sound like some firetrucks in Poland lol.
Its not gonna take long until Germany becomes the same shithole like India. But hey, tolerance and shiiieeet
@@puffybara69420 It sounds like a firetruck because it is a firetruck(siren). I live next to a fire station and it's 100% a fire truck

God, this is so frustrating since here in Europe ambulances have the absolute priority! This gives me anxiety.

It's very sad ye, specially in the USA. Here in Europe it's true that ambulances have priority, as it should be
@@alejandroroldan6398 "Specially in the US." You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

@@jordanlathrop2555 I hope so.
Αλέξανδρος Roλδαν sorry that my fellow Americans roasted you. I was gonna say the same thing as them but more polite lol. I live in suburbia in CT and we definitely go to the side to let the ambulance through, but I’ve never seen an ambulance on a highway so that would be interesting to see here in my state. But I thought it was interesting that all the cars completely stopped in Germany. here we go to the side but keep going (unless we cant keep moving lol) but it’s just cool that everyone in Germany worked together since I know even in my state there are some people who don’t care.
In Germany you actually have to clear a path for the ambulance even if there is no ambulance coming. You can lose your license if you are in the way of an emergency vehicle
In Malaysia,we did the same thing like that of Poland and Germany,paving the way for the ambulance to get to it’s destination😁
I mean you guys have a wideass road
Please explain? How do you know to clear if you dont see an abulance? I think its great!! Im just confused
@@elemwitt4604 you have to clear a path even if there is no ambulance (for example in a traffic jam you need to keep a gap open between the left most and the lane next to it).
Although people don't always do it perfectly it has become better in recent years

Everyone in comments: Scared of the German siren
Most European countries: Hey that sounds familiar
Also from my own experience whenever we hear a Ambulane, fire truck or police we always stop and make place in Belgium like Germany.
People blaming it on "populated cities" shouldn't be complaining since this video and my own experience is from hour long traffic jams on high ways
I mean, here in Germany you actually have to pay high fees if you don't move outta the way when you hear the siren of an ambulance, fire truck or police car.
And since it is possible even in cities there really is no excuse of why other countries aren't able to do just that too
@@Synixxen same here, it's called obstruction of emergency services
In the netherlands it is also illegal, I guess Europe has better rules in driving and has better driving education
Am from Belgium, can confirm
In Switzerland u gotta move too. It’s illegal to block emergency services
In the germany example, it makes you wonder whether he ambulance would actually be able to drive faster by not using a siren and instead follow the highway traffic flow speed
Poland and Germany show the way should humans act .Great peoples .
exactly
Umm there were no traffic so
@@abbygalerowe6775 doesnt matter, you have signs everywhere how to act when ambulance comes, you can go to court for not letting the ambulance pass.
@@abbygalerowe6775 video from warsaw is old, now there's much more traffic and people still let ambulance go first everywhere, even in traffic jams they can let it pass somehow. And its like that in whole Poland, and also in most of european countries.
Thank you ! Im from Poland and today when i was walking an ambulanse was on its way, every single car moved to the sides as soon as they could. Without a hustle! They calmly gace the ambulanse a completely clear road and after it passed they calmly went back to their normal positions without honking etc. It was so heartwarming for some reason, I also saw them do the same thing for a police car a few minutes ago.
I love how the polish ambulance driver doesn't give a f
EDIT: Dang Guys I've never gotten so much likes thank you!

Thats true. I am always literally rushed to hospital. Ppl care here

It's the way it should be. Someone's life hangs in the balance, get the fuck out of the way!
They're literally just doing their job. He "doesn't give a fuck" that how it should be
I live in Poland, where we always give space on a road for an ambulance. Seeing that in some countries, people don't give a shit about an ambulance driving to save someone, makes me really angry and sad. 🤨

@@AOSMAKAKMS Right? This didn't seem representative at all; the metropolis density levels seemed far more indicative. Also, the last one is conveniently open, like emergency vehicles have already been through so the traffic's already cued for this one...
In Germany in heavy traffic on the highway everyone will make another free lane by going left and right just in case there's an ambulance coming. So not when they hear the siren, but way before in preparation for it.
I feel so sorry for those patients inside the ambulance...
Franchezkaichi Steven or the people the ambulance is trying to get to
Franchezkaichi Steven most of us feel sorry

If you dont follow the instructions on the signs " how to make up space" ( in Germany its called "Rettungsgasse", a Term in english for that can be a kind of "ermegency path"), which are everywhere on the Autobahn, you get very high fined.
So must they in Poland.
imagine you being in that ambulance and your dying.

Germany and Poland were quite good, but nothing beats Liberty City. People will actually kill themselves if they hear sirens. Like, drive off a bridge. And then its not even an emergency, just a crook taking a stolen ambulance for a spin.

Poland guy upon receiving an emergency call : GTA mode activated
I remember when I was in Germany and we also were in 3 lane traffic and every single car in all 3 lanes moved to the side diagonally making a whole empty lane for the ambulance
I think ambulance should have dashcams in India and police should start prosecuting those people who purposely block the ambulance's way.
Priyam Bhowmick This should be in all countries, my country Morocco has the same problem
Priyam Bhowmick you mean the motorcycle?
Why? We have a billion people. Some dead sod in the ambulance is not going to make much difference.

Germany and Poland being like: Welcome to Europe, where we know how to form emergency corridors
MuffinFreak in america it is like that as well I think it depends on the area, I live in a suburb and we do that as well
People not moving for an ambulance in America is extremely rare even with cities. I've never seen what was shown in the video in america. Ever.
Exactly. Gridlocked traffic in New York where there is no where to pull over is not a very fair representation. Poland was light traffic compared to New York and the Germany clip seems obvious that there were previous emergency vehicles making paths ahead for there to be that much of a corridor created in advance.
I live in California and majority people are nice and move but there can be a time where they can't move or their just dicks
MuffinFreak so ist das...
I thought it was common sense to move when you hear siren car. In Europe it is common. I'm from Estonia and ambulance sounds like German one. People pull to the side even when it's dangerous and have attitude like "Help the person in need meanwhile I'm almost crashing into lake that's next to the road... Don't worry about me I'll swim"
Skylar Black it’s common in the usa too, idk why they chose those clips
Well in new York it's usually so busy there's traffic on the sidewalks. But most people move out of the way since it's a law of course. But you do get those arrogant karens and kyles who think the road is there's and only there life matters
As an American, i have only seen someone fail to move for an ambulance once and a cop pulled them over and chewed them out harder than a mother to their drunk son.
When about a year ago an ambulance was stopped on a toll point in Poland (like shown on this video from Japan) the driver got pissed, hit the pedal and drove through that fucking barrier.
Would do the same
Honestly, its a big dent in the hood and bit of plintered wood/bent plastic vs a potential human live or lasting injury. In an emergency seconds can make the difference.
We need more heros like that. Greets to Polska
you can replace a barrier, not life. If someone I loved died because of that it would be heart breaking
In France, the barriers automatically detects if it's an ambulance/police/firemen vehicle and opens before the vehicle arrives so there is no need to stop.

As a retired UK Ambulance Paramedic I find the responses in the drivers of some countries mind boggling, at least in Europe drivers actually give way (like here in the UK) to emergency vehicles, because we care, so many people abroad seem to not give a sh!t about someone else when one day that attitude means no-one will give a sh!t about them in their time of need, especially in India, where Karma is a thing.
We also have a concept here of Hard Shoulders on Motorways, exclusively for Emergencies, including vehicle breakdowns, and only the Emergency Services can use these in heavy traffic, although like in Germany and Poland, the traffic will part like the waves on UK roads & streets for an emergency vehicle.
Either the rest of the World is populated by selfish arseholes, or we just care more for each other in Europe?
Answering your question:
India: an impoverished, obscenely overpopulated country with a low bar for driver's licenses. Drivers honking at red lights is such a bad problem they had to install penalty lights at some intersections which increase the delay in response to honking. Drivers treat lanes as a suggestion, so a 2-lane road typically has four or five columns of vehicles on it.
China: overpopulated and nobody gives a rat's posterior about anyone else. There are more than a few videos out there of people seeing someone in a life-threatening situation and just ignoring them, due in part to screwed up liability laws, but due in part to a systemic lack of regard for human life. What's the value of one life when there's 1.4 billion of them?
United States: videos are from the most densely populated cities (e.g. Manhattan). Like anywhere else, population density is inversely proportional to empathy. These are also the richest people in America, the same sociopaths responsible for many of the nation's problems. However, the US is a very, very large place, with many different population distributions and types of people. In many areas, traffic is not bumper-to-bumper and people are courteous to each other. However, I do have to concede that a disappointingly high percentage of people are a-holes and can be found anywhere. The requirements for car ownership and driver's license are also less than ideal, but necessary due to the sprawling geography and lack of mass transit.
(not appearing in this video) Russia: dear god, Russia. Given the poverty, long history of getting screwed by their government and corruption, it's not terribly surprising that Russian roads are a free-for-all.
TL;DR: overpopulation and poverty (or extreme wealth) lead to people acting like a-holes.
Here in Australia we all get out of the way for emergency vehicles, it can be a tight squeeze in certain parts of the country ( cities etc) but we manage to get them all through to where they need to be. Just being curteous and respectful to our emergency workers here is a big thing. I couldnt beleive some of the clips shown here of what appears to be a selfish refusal to make way for them, just beyond belief.
