Love the SEG. London is horrendous for close security and traffic. These riders make it look so easy. Top dogs, massive respect and thanks for the post!
I love these videos. As a biker I love nipping through congested towns like there's no traffic jam. Just as much as I hate being stuck in traffic jams in my car!! LOL. Biking is such fun, and has been a constant source of the utmost feeling of pleasure and freedom for the last 43 accident free years. I feel sorry for younger generations who won't get to enjoy the same experience cos they all think petrol is causing Global-Warming, quietly ignoring the fact that it's actually been proven to be caused by the Earth moving slowly closer to the Sun! Doh!
I work for the Police as a motorcyclist in a non-emergency role. Already had a full bike licence but I had to do a week-long course before I was allowed to use the bike, even without blue lights or any legal exemptions from speed, etc. Even that was next-level compared to how most people ride. The "full" bike course is, I believe, 3 weeks and is pass or fail. VIP escort course, not sure on duration Probably an additional SEG course These lads (and ladies) have had literally months of training input when they start doing this, in addition to riding the bikes all day every day gaining duty experience in between courses. There's no wonder they're good!
I remember working on a building site next to a university which was being visited by a member of the Royal family. The police locked the site down to traffic, we had deliveries waiting to leave, even after the VIP had arrived and was in the building they would not allow any traffic. movement.
I see it a lot on these videos of different officials being escorted, the point in these escorts is not so they can just skip traffic. There is a very real threat to most of these officials lives. We are fortunate in the UK, as we have relatively small convoys, nothing like the presidential motorcade where they weld manholes shut and close off entire streets. The general public are only inconvenienced for less than a minute, sometimes only a few seconds. So rather than saying that they should just "sit in traffic like anyone else" and that "no-one is more important than anyone else" these aren't just some rich folks, they hold power and are a target for terrorists. Some of you really need to look at our world today. I do however agree with the point of greener vehicles that people make, they should be using green vehicles or electric vehicles.
Exactly. And the convoy should never stop as it’s harder to attack a moving vehicule, even if it’s slow. Sometimes these convoys slow down just waiting for the SEG bikes to clear traffic. And it’s true that in the UK you don’t have big convoys. Even the french president in Paris travels in a pretty big convoy.
Unfortunately for this kind of work, green vehicles are a bad option for now. The battery life is way too small for combat situations. ICE is still far superior in this fact. I would not be surprised if they had long range aftermarket tanks in them for that reason alone.
We are assuming greener vehicles are actually green but when you actually look into it, it's not that clear cut. As for the importance of these people, I used to watch with awe and admiration at our western civilisation. Sadly many of these so called leaders have caused more death and destruction in the last 2 years, locking up and muzzling their citizens and trying to force medical mandates, I can only feel sick seeing these people freely travelling around and being supported by a police force (although there are still many good individuals within its ranks) who are out of touch with society.

Are the police bikes using whistles instread of sirens? Seems to work: saw the gendarmes in France using whistles while on point duty in the 60s, worked then.
Yes. Spend any time in a big city and you become so used to sirens that you stop paying attention to them. This unit, who specialise in escort duties don't ever use sirens. They only use whistles. You don't hear whistles in cities often, so they grab attention far better than a siren.
I find the arrangement of Austin's convoy interesting, and that he uses the same BMW that Mike Pompeo used to use as secretary of state, whereas the new secretary of state Antony Blinken uses Range Rovers on his visits to the UK.
I thought Americans bring their own vehicles for their officials. Am guessing they have noticed American vehicles look inferior to Europeans high-end vehicles
@@neilnelson7603 a lot of the time. In countries that drive on the right they'll often have a fleet of chevrolets, and for the president and the VP they'll fly special vehicles from Washington. In the UK however we drive on the left so its more practical to use ours.

@@edwardvalivonis23 He's not "present" even when he is there lol, for God's sake the man is senile! I wake up sweating at the thought of his finger on the button!
Just how it should be done. In Bangkok the police stand at junctions shutting down whole roads while cars wait for the escorted vehicles to pass. May have to wait 20 mins causing awful traffic jams.
The bikes would be far more conspicuous and safer if all the blue warning lights were the same size as the forward facing lights (they look like 3x2 LEDs) and all synchronised. Lights unsynchronised and flashing randomly make it harder for motorists to quickly track the bike's location and rate of change of position. This is particularly dangerous for bikes which are small and can move very quickly. The Brits need to re-think their warning lighting design (doesn't look designed at the moment, looks like an electrician just threw some lights at a bike and fixed them where they landed), but at least they don't confuse with multiple colours.

Interesting to see the police car at 2:50 going in the opposite direction, cancel its siren, move over, and let the convoy pass. Makes sense really.
I was to comment exactly the same thing! Interesting to see that we had the same thought haha
I watch a lot of these videos but that has to be the best quality so far!
Don’t know why this came up in the feed but it was hilarious to couple the Russian anthem with US defence secretary, trolling British style!😂
The Russian anthem was being played by the protesters…
Startled me as well.
To a motorcyclist, this looks like great larks - hooning between junctions as fast as possible and making everyone else stop
Nothing wrong with that…

The Dutch were actually in the UK early 2000 to learn how the SEG does the job.

they do not stop. correct.
