Paul Johnston meets a motorcycle paramedic - Rob Gorringe, and talks about his job and what it entails, as well as finding out what are the advantages of having a paramedic on a motorcycle.
I live in ireland and really want to become a a paramedic on a bike like him I was wondering how long does training take and if I can study in ireland and then move to canada and still keep my qualifications?
Good video - but it looks older than just 8 years ago. I'd say it's easily 20 years old as it has a very early 00's look and feel to it. The vehicles look.quite dated compared with those of today....or even back in 2014.
Emergency vehicles are NOT exempt from the law, they do not have god given rights to cross solid white lines or use bus lanes, just like they cannot force you through a red light
@@volante8657 there are some exemptions you can claim when on audible and visual emergency conditions and crossing solid white lines is not one of them.
I have a colleague who works for the met, and one of his responsibilities is to investigate any potential prosecutions against emergency vehicles while on a blue light call, and determined whether justified
@@morganmitchell4017 we in the UK have emergency staff attacked if ONLY the police had blue staff attacker would know who 2attack & leave medical & fire alone.
@@josephthompson1318 You're basically saying "I don't like police, so I want to be able to tell them apart from ambulances to be able to obstruct them more easliy." Maybe that's exactly why they should have the same blue lights.

The video is dated 2002, so definitely 20+ years old.
At 0:48 the rider crosses the solid white line (on his carriageway) after passing the commencement of the line.
emergency vehicles can go above the rules given it's reasonable and safe from an objective POV. it's as per what roadcraft says

@@jonah406 absolutely right, we have exemptions for certain things but crossing solid white lines is not one of them.

Hi there I come from Greece I am paramedic and I want to read specifications of motor cycles emergency Can you send me please
Green is used by doctors a this time all med staff should do so people would know they r med staff
126
not rapid response cars true bikers ran out of plymouth grove swinton grove turn
Why are they not green showing that they are ambulance not police, this should also be the lights.
They should use green bikes & clothing including lights to separate them from police
Why? What difference does it make to you, whether there's a police officer or a paramedic trying to get past?
@@morganmitchell4017 I believe that people will give way 2 paramedics & fire engines quicker than police others r keeping us alive while pigs.
