Actually, most intersections and emergency vehicles (as well as public transportation) in the Netherlands and Belgium are equipped with system that allows the lights on an intersection to turn green by the time they are passing said intersection. This must have been a route that does not have such infrastructure. Another reason (as is common in the Netherlands and Belgium) is that the victim in the ambulance is so hurt/sick, that sirens, breaking or other delays during the trip to the hospital can be fatal for his/her life. ;-)
This is Team Traffic The Hague and they have been specially trained for this. Accompany not only ambulances but also dignitaries and all urgent transport moving through traffic.
It's great to see a team so well trained they make it look like anyone could do it but at the top end of my career the reason they look calm is that your seeing every one in the team working as just one single big nimble escorts, and that is just beautiful and effective
at 07:15.. The ambulance is not only faster but also way smoother at the destination. That's why we have the Escorts. so the ambulance does not have to stop or make sudden moves. The riders of the Dutch Police are really well trained for these kind of escorts.
The ambulance crew requested a 'gliding transport'. Which is to go smooth, few hard corners and bumbs. Smoothness over speed. Without the escort the ambulance would have had to slow down and speed up again at all those intersections. Few as they were in this case.
"Potholes"? Some of them are proper sinkholes 😂😂😂😂 But yeah, bad quality tarmac, weird foundation, the urge to keep repairing instead of renewal, and nowadays lack of money. I've seen main roads here being closed for a week to be "repaired" last year, but they need re-repairing already 😕 also gritting while dry, at 5°C for days on a row isn't beneficial for the tarmac.
We don't have potholes, we have the odd tiny patch of tarmac road here and there. Still, as long as the Tory donors and Peers get lots of our cash...it all trickles down, right 😅
The ambulance specifically asked to be informed of potholes. What does that tell you? The ambulance driver expects there being hardly any potholes, or he would not have to ask for them to be pointed out,
For those who don't speak Dutch and are curious what the [Inaudible] subtitles actually mean: 1:45 "And with red on the intersection" 3:00 "And we are with you." 3:05 "On the roundabout slight bump" 4:33 Instead of "We go straight on", this should be "Right turn lanes for straight on" 5:10 "On the intersection, you need to point at that bump." 6:04 Not sure on this one, it's either "Didn't notice" or "Message received" (We use the verb "observed" for both.) 6:17 "Yeah drive on to them" or "Yeah keep on driving" 7:30 the officer says "OC, Aankomst Leyweg" which translates to "Dispatch, arrival Leyweg [hospital]"
the patient is not always transported to the nearest hospital, but to the hospital that can provide the best care. For example: there is a hospital in Alkmaar, Noord-Holland, Netherlands. When someone with heart problems urgently needs surgery, but the surgeons in Alkmaar are already performing an operation, it is common for them to transport the patient to Amsterdam, North Holland, the Netherlands, because there are more surgeons available.
And sometimes also literally for the specialist that knows the patient (in cases of a rare condition or a condition the person has already been seen for by this specialist multiple times) being in a hospital and it is faster to escort the patient to that hospital than to try and get the doctor to the hospital closest by.
It is really impressive to see them in action. Everybody gets out of the way or stops at their instruction. If by odd chance you are not complying to the motor police..you better beware of a hefty fine and a good talk!!
A fine is probably the least of their concerns at that moment, especially in the slower kinds of transports, but you will probably first hear an even stronger whistle and a more urgent hand gesture. If you still fail to comply, you will get shouted at "HEY!!! STOP!!!" and if then still, you decide the command is not meant for you: "HEY!!? SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR EYES AND EARS!? WHAT'S DIFFICULT ABOUT THIS GESTURE?!" And, obviously, depending on the officer, the last remark can be made less friendly: "YOU GOT SHIT IN YOUR EYES OR SOMETHING!?" or "ARE YOU BLIND!?"
Thanks for the amazing content. I love these EMS/Police videos from the Netherlands but my Dutch is too bad so I only understand fragments of the radio chatter. You are a real blessing for subtitling these clips and providing context. Much love from Germany
As a Dutch native speaker, I sometimes also have to listen carefully through all the compression and frequency-loss the intercom causes. You can even hear the officers having trouble with the exact same thing at 3:08.
It is even more impressive when the Dutch police combine the motorcycle escort with other units to secure the largest crossroads. It requires good teamwork to organise the units in a minimum of time.
Hi, i am one of the MICU/Ambulance drivers in Amsterdam. In the Netherlands we call this escorted driving “Glijdend Transport” (Sliding Transport) and you are again 100% right with all the comments you give. Good job!🚑👍
Always love that Dutch police escorts (ambulance or VIP) never pass the escorted vehicle(s) because it's too distracting. They always stay in-front or (in rare cases) behind.
For both it's not really about distraction, but more about the discomfort it creates to constantly have sirens overtake you again, which for an ambulance patient, is really, really stressful. He/she can't see what's going on, does feel every move slightly 'amplified' by the fact he/she can't see the road ánd is in a horizontal position laying down. To than also have constant sirens zoom by would provide great discomfort to say the least.
In fact the ambulance driver requests the ride not to be super quick, but smooth. Also he asks for the information on road condition to be given to him to make sure the ride is as smooth as possible and to make sure he doesn't have to brake hard.
Really Awesome job! Thanks to the motorcycle cops patients and people are always safe cause they can get to the destination with full speed and no traffic.
@@l.v1473 not aggressive, might just be the pronounciation. Generally the dutch are very chill and relaxed people that are just straight to the point, don't sugar coat stuff and like their efficiency (which I suppose can be mistaken for rudeness if you're not used to it).

@@Headcase0570, I’ve seen what they do in Belgium and France and it is nothing compared to this level of professionalism, but then again it looks like French and Belgian drivers are instructed to freeze in place and become decisiveless when challanged with emergency vehicles.
@@thomasbiekmann25It is an overall team effort. The othet drivers can be seen as part of the team. The police takes the lead and 99% of the public does their part (1% are A-holes, panicking or not paying attention) following the directions of the police and making room in their lane for cars that have to move over. There is lots of eye contact between drivers to get this rigth. The police is great and professional and the public cooperates
kind of fun to see this done by civlian police. Worked as both regular police and as a swedish armed soldier, when i worked in the army i worked as a traffic unit squadleader. this is the exact way we would do it with our BMW GS 800 motorcykles. Calling it "skip a bock"", the lead would take the first intersection, the rest of the MCs would follow through and then try to get past the convoy to get to the next intersecction.
About the communication comment around 5m. They do. To inform each other, but inform the ambulance specifically where to go, and the ambulance informs them the colour of the traffic lights. The latter is because if they have red, others have green (and thus might start going) or if they have green their own lanes might start moving. It’s to inform the officer on the 8ntersection where to pay attention most, as if someone is not paying attention and starts going it’s where the green light is
@@Paul_C Actually surgeons whom were total atheists said they started to believe in God when SEVERAL MERICALS happened right in front his own eyes!. Many dr’s have said it happenes!.

Typical Dutch efficiency, & with other road users complying with the outriders - my hat off to these fine officers who contribute to the saving of lives - it's rarely seen in the UK anymore - & what a pity that is.
In the UK we have our own Metropolitan Police Special Escort Group who do most of the VIP etc escorts. Unlike the Dutch guys in this video they do it all discreetly without sirens, horns and all the hi-viz paraphernalia on bikes and in cars, and on much more crowded roads too.
@@TheRoybeasley These guys are part of the same team that usually perform VIP-escorts. That's why you will hardly see videos from other police units performing the same procedures, as they didn't follow the same extensive training as the The Hague VTB team did (VTB = VerkeersTechnische Begeleider = Technical Traffic Support). Be aware though that the training you need to follow to become a motorcycle police officer is already tough and does include stuff like this, but the The Hague VTB officers are the only ones that do this on a regular basis, while this can be a rare occurence for officers outside The Hague.
In the UK our Police bikes don't get to do this like they used to. Plus our roads are shot to pieces - the chap would be better off pointing out where there isn't a bump or hole. No idea why we pay so much tax here.
This is a very specialized team of motorcycle drivers they use this a lot here in Holland to escort ambulance to the hospital. In the is case there are 3 motor cycles 2 drive ahead the stop and clear intersesctions they are called ( SPITSERS) the third motorcycle stay in front of the Ambulance thats the Commander. But some people do not respect the police or a ambulance and create somtimes really dangerous situations during a transport those motor cycle drivers had a good training to perform there job , some times they use police cars to do the escort if you see them coming make way and let them pass because maybe next time it could be you in the back of that ambulance.
Its not allways that a ambulance is escorted by police motorcycles only if the victim is severly wounded or in danger the ambulance can put in a request for a escort. They use 3 motorcycles one is driving direct in front of the ambulance thats the commander the the other two drive a head to clear the way and stop the traffic on a intersection so the ambulance has a clear road to proceed and doesn't have to break or manouver tru lots of traffic.
When you see an ambulance being escorted by the police at high speed it's bad. When you see an ambulance being escorted by the police at low speed it's really bad.
That’s cool. In Jakarta the traffic is so bad that even if people want to move over for the ambulance, they sometimes physically can’t, especially on a major intersection or in rush hour.

A fantastic team I am subscribed to their channel my favorite one which I have saved is when they are doing the escort for the dignitaries for Ukraine 🇺🇦
I have seen several times when being escorted like this would have been advantageous. Some patients need that smoother ride so that their injuries are not worsened by slamming on the brakes, etc. The medics need it so that they can actually work on the patient. Besides moving around, it keeps equipment from being fouled up. I was working a cardiac patient when we had to brake hard. I had put the medication box on the jump seat and it went flying off scattering drugs everywhere and breaking many of the vials. So; a smooth ride can get you through better and safer. Wish we had a system like this.
I have pleaded with some senior police friends of mine (who make decisions on whether to have cars or motorbikes in their districts) to have more motorbikes for these types of eventualities. Sadly, now that these videos are coming out (which I enjoy greatly), many of them have retired or have been promoted beyond these roles.
[Inaudible] at the 5:10 mark is "Hij mot effe die trambaan wijzen". This translates as "He has to point out the light rail line". The motorcycle crossed it at the 4:37 mark. So no, not a perfect run at all I'm afraid.
A few years ago me and my wife had been on vacation with motorcycles in France. We ended up in a Paris traffic jam when we suddenly heard the sound of an ambulance behind us. Being Austrians we had been surprised that no one did on the road did anything to give them space to get through so we (connected with intercom) decided to help and try to block the traffic so they could get through. It worked and the ambulance could go on pretty quick… But we were pulled over by a random police car and fined for agressive driving behavior… Anyway, those 200 Euro were worth it…❤
At the end of the Video: „Please give this video a like if you found it entertaining.“ - Sorry but Bu..sh..! A person in trouble and under a medical emergency transport can never be entertaining! But my Full Respekt to the Team ensuring this fast and smooth Transport.
Great demonstration of controlling the road, but it helps that drivers in the Netherlands are very compliant. I do feel that the patient must have been an important person, they don't do this for every ambulance where care is being provided on route.
You do not have to be a special person: being severely injured and requiring specialist care as fast as possible can initiate a call for an escort like this. There is a common misconception that this type of treatment is reserved for people based on class in society. It is not.
@@Dutch3DMaster I'm glad to hear that, I don't know of anywhere else in the world that a regular member of the public would have this sort of escort to get their ambulance to the hospital.
@@iallso1Late response but yeh they do this more often! It's fairly normal to get this treatment. The person that was wounded must have had a pretty severe situation though because it doesn't particularly matter how important the person is, more so how severe the damage is. Someone with severe chest pain might not get an eacort for example but someone that lost a leg and is bleeding out might! Really situational
People saying in comment that it must be a very important person. This is Netherlands NOT America or other 3rd world country. ANYONE can get this kind of escort or even a Medic-chopper if needed. ANYONE. Sadly, America is trying hard to destroy our European structure through our politicians. We need to get out of American dramas
Most likely the truck, with company branding on the side of the trailer, was involved in the crash and is therefore blurred. It could also be down to ongoing investigation into the cause of the crash or when the victim has died from injuries sustained that makes a blur mandatory.

Besides moving around, it keeps equipment from being fouled up. I was working a cardiac patient when we had to brake hard. I had put the medication box on the jump seat and it went flying off scattering drugs everywhere and breaking many of the vials. So; a smooth ride can get you through better and safer. Wish we had a system like this.
I have pleaded with some senior police friends of mine (who make decisions on whether to have cars or motorbikes in their districts) to have more motorbikes for these types of eventualities. Sadly, now that these videos are coming out (which I enjoy greatly), many of them have retired or have been promoted beyond these roles.
Had one full police escort from Cheshire to Liverpool when with ambulance service.
i had a POV in 2008 from 1 hospital to an other cuase of a difficult CVA surgery
bardzo sprawnie, podziwiam procedury
amazing!
Very impressive!
Try it in heavy rush hour traffic… as the saying goes been there done that ❤
[Inaudible] at the 5:10 mark is "Hij mot effe die trambaan wijzen". This translates as "He has to point out the light rail line". The motorcycle crossed it at the 4:37 mark. So no, not a perfect run at all I'm afraid.
A few years ago me and my wife had been on vacation with motorcycles in France. We ended up in a Paris traffic jam when we suddenly heard the sound of an ambulance behind us. Being Austrians we had been surprised that no one did on the road did anything to give them space to get through so we (connected with intercom) decided to help and try to block the traffic so they could get through. It worked and the ambulance could go on pretty quick…
But we were pulled over by a random police car and fined for agressive driving behavior…
Anyway, those 200 Euro were worth it…❤
:/ I'm sorry to hear that but you did a good thing!
@@diadorim273 thx
At the end of the Video: „Please give this video a like if you found it entertaining.“ - Sorry but Bu..sh..!
A person in trouble and under a medical emergency transport can never be entertaining!
But my Full Respekt to the Team ensuring this fast and smooth Transport.
At 3'16" he says 'helder', normaly it can translated to 'clear' but in this conversation it means 'obviously' or 'perspicuously'
nice one. are the mics from the officers really that bad? hard to understand it seems
goooooood!!!!!
Well done
A Great Job
goed werk mensen
Can you link the video?? Not just the channel name but the exact video...
Near the intersection at 3:46 is an horse stable where also police horses are and trained. Maybe thats the resion that the horse is quiet
Great demonstration of controlling the road, but it helps that drivers in the Netherlands are very compliant. I do feel that the patient must have been an important person, they don't do this for every ambulance where care is being provided on route.
You do not have to be a special person: being severely injured and requiring specialist care as fast as possible can initiate a call for an escort like this.
There is a common misconception that this type of treatment is reserved for people based on class in society. It is not.
An important person? Who thinks like that?
Every person is important when you need urgent medical care.
@@landsgevaer not important just cynical.
@@Dutch3DMaster I'm glad to hear that, I don't know of anywhere else in the world that a regular member of the public would have this sort of escort to get their ambulance to the hospital.
@@iallso1Late response but yeh they do this more often! It's fairly normal to get this treatment. The person that was wounded must have had a pretty severe situation though because it doesn't particularly matter how important the person is, more so how severe the damage is.
Someone with severe chest pain might not get an eacort for example but someone that lost a leg and is bleeding out might! Really situational
I would love to be a motorcycle officer
AI is used for the subtitles. *Inaudible* is wrong if you can understand Dutch.
Drive safe
Greetings from Indonesian Ambulance Volunteers


Which country is that
This is the Netherlands, for me the best with ambulance guidance.
Street Heroes👋!
Better to watch than any stupid US police chase. Just pure pragmatic Dutch teamwork!
People saying in comment that it must be a very important person. This is Netherlands NOT America or other 3rd world country. ANYONE can get this kind of escort or even a Medic-chopper if needed. ANYONE.
Sadly, America is trying hard to destroy our European structure through our politicians. We need to get out of American dramas
Why is the truck blurred out in the beginning of the video?
Is advertising banned?
Seems a pretty weird or petty rule
I think that was the crash he was taking about…
Most likely the truck, with company branding on the side of the trailer, was involved in the crash and is therefore blurred. It could also be down to ongoing investigation into the cause of the crash or when the victim has died from injuries sustained that makes a blur mandatory.
Lucky this is not uk all you would hear on radio is bump hole bump hole
But where is the ambulance? 🤔
