This is the most unorganised convoy just shows the UK dosent give a toss about America. First of all the car Obama was in there was only 2 of those which means if an attacker wanted to intentionally strike it was and easy option beacuse it was 1 or the other in America they normally have 4 in different parts of the convoy to make it harder

@@code3paris Thanks for the info!

@John Smith But then we Brits don't have to worry about every man and his dog carrying a gun...makes life easier spotting the nutter when even the crowd can spot the odd one out.
John Smith yea it looked horrible! And it's not panic you moron! Its a show of force! That's what makes people think twice. Not little morons on motorcycles
weird that they park with right foot down. i was always taught to keep left foot down so right foot could be on brake to allow your hands to be free. mind you i guess hand free would require N and then take off would require switching feet to then go into 1st gear. maybe the rapid takeoff is more important than comfort for emergencies?
IIRC (and you may have been the person to post it, or put it in a video) its becuase sirens have become part of the background noise in London. Whistles get more attention paid to them.
People in London are so used to sirens, they actually pay little attention to them. You hear a shrill whistling, something you don't usually hear, you look.
This video is very exciting ... I can say that the traffic police there are really great in escort duties ... the way traffic police escorts are different between countries ... I really like this video..please upload more videos like this ... I am from Malaysia very interested in your video ...
The reasoning that I read is that in so much of London you hear sirens almost 24/7/365 and drivers kind of ignore them. It's just so much background noise. The whistles are not usually heard and thus the unique sound gets drivers to pay attention more than they usually would.
I get the thing about the whistles getting more attention, but having sirens would still be useful as a backup, especially if there's an emergency and you have to escort your 'client' to the hospital, for example. I doubt they'd want to constantly be blowing whistles then lol Also why are they hardly marked and recognizable as police bikes?
If the client is dying they can easily call for marked vehicles, or a frikken ambulance. Lmao. I suppose it could also be an order to not make the convoy loud for safety purposes.
Biguss Dickuss "they would have been bought and registered at the same time. they are not custom plates" Wrong. "SEG" is the unit designation: Special Escort Group.
aaronshire yeah the British have to add to the convoy and the Americans are all extra and need their own vehicles which can’t cope with the British roads anyway.
They should've let Obama crash somewhere in the welsh countryside at least there they would be lost and would've had no chance of being found again. You can tell it's American by those big ass Cadillacs and Chevrolets. We don't go to the manner of such protection when other foreign dignitaries come to our capital.
I'm conviced Obama could have walked anywhere around London with three body guards and not been attacked he was that well liked as human being if not president unlike Trump who would need all the protection shown here and then some ....
Suprised the UK police were involved in providing security given the literal chaos London is now in. Very good at PR after events, not so good at preventing them.
Easier and less conspicuous? Yes. But the President needs to have access to all the communications capability of The Beast when he's on the road, so conspicuousness is a given. Plus, he's the public representation of the power and prestige of the office, so motorcades are part of the pomp and circumstance.
Also, unlike almost every other head of state, he is accompanied by a full retinue of aides, military officers (including a major or lieutenant commander with a briefcase that contains the codes to launch a full-scale nuclear war and end the world as we know it), a complete medical team and a "pool" of reporters from the White House press corps. Unless the President goes to an active war zone, when press coverage is embargoed until after he's left the country, it is pretty much impossible for him to make a move in public without it being tracked by members of the press corps who travel with him or simply ordinary citizens with cell phones who can post to social media. Most of the cars don't have security or military personnel but the staff, communications equipment and the press corps. Whenever he's away from the White House, he always has secure communications links to the Secretary of Defense and military chiefs at the Pentagon (US military HQ) and the White House Situation Room so he can monitor any emerging situation and respond immediately. The US President, like it or not, is not a regular person and can not use just a "regular" car at a "random time." Everything that is done, even supposedly "spontaneous" trips, are always planned, even if on short notice; an overseas visit like this is planned meticulously for weeks, with every possible contingency thought of.
Seth Tubman : Not to mention his orange tanning cream, toupee holding cream and possibly those, ahem, videos taken in Moscow that he doesn’t want to lose.
What is the reference to no rear mirrors? We are looking at the the SEG bikes here and they are all clearly fitted with rear view mirrors. Where do you think the front indicators and blue strobes are mounted?
it says they dont have any sirens or horns and i quote "SEG officers are armed and the motorcycles, unlike most other police bikes, are not equipped with any sort of auxiliary auditory warning device such as special sirens or two-tone horns. The officers rely on their whistles instead.'
Noah Jones Then by that I must assume that SEG bikes (special escort group) must be different to normal bikes. There will be something that can produce a siren in that escort. If all the bikes had it it would be pointless. They are literally just to deter traffic.
Just now watched our Indian president's convoy in a city in our own country. They stopped entire traffic of a busy national highway..! But here the police in bike has just made the traffic smoother time to time then and there, that too in a foreign nation of the president.
OK here goes. They are not private number plates they are ordinary plates issued by the DVLA but they simply asked for the SEG suffix. No reason other than they thought it would be nice. They don't have sirens as they don't need them all routes are carefully planed well in advance and the whistles they use attract more and quicker attention as its an unfamiliar sounds in cities. If someone needs to go to hospital in a hurry believe me their lack of sirens will not slow them down. Always right foot down for all police motorcyclists including SEG as it helps a quick get away. All SEG are armed usually with the Glock sidearm and additional H&K MP3 on the bike. Don't need mirrors trust me they know what's going on around them. And finally to answer the pathetic 'racist' comment any police officer can apply for the SEG but you have to be the very best rider and very best shot and the training is ridiculously intensive to make you an even better rider and shot. Training includes close protection, unarmed combat and other skills many are trained paramedics as well. If a non-white police officer wants to apply there is nothing stopping them. The standards apply to all and are non-negotiable.
I worked for bmw when met escort bought bmw bikes for escort group ? Big advertising campain was se5 up but sadly firs job they got was escorting princess dianas coffin so all adverts cancelled
That is the way to do it. Here they close the damn roads an hour before and an hour after. There they held traffic only to let the big wheels roll through. How stupid, what better announcement that gives to bad guys- hey we got an hour to get set up, maybe more.
I will admit the UK re good at stuff like that. No flashy sirens, no loud noises, no sense of panic, just calm and collected.
