cracking video bud. i remember when i did blue light training, i was always told, if someone lets you through or gives way to you ,always acknowledge them with a wave, head nod or even smile ,because if you dont they may not be so obliging next time, Notice hardly any of the blue light drivers acknowledged people letting them pass. lol maybe times have changed, this was near on 30 years ago.
Why are so many vehicles unmarked? In Canada you never see that. Are they privately owned? Specialists who get a vehicle to take home so they can respond day and night? Are they the armed officers? It is also weird for me to see police, or whoever these unmarked vehicles belong to, using brands like Volvo, BMW and Mercedes. Here those are reserved for the wealthy and you would never see a public agency driving those brands. Why is that different in England / UK?
There's 3 different groups that use unmarked vehicles. You have the unmarked police cars, of course. These come in varying varieties, the traffic cops going undercover to catch people in the act, detectives vehicles etc etc. Armed Police also have access to unmarked, as well as marked, for when they need to sneak up on some gun-wielding maniac without putting people at increased risk from the suspect spotting them coming. You have ambulance officers. Some ambulance services, including the London Ambulance Service (I think) here allow commanders of senior and more junior levels to use personal vehicles, that way they can respond any time any day. Additionally, some specialists may also use personal owned vehicles for the same reason. Also saves on cost. Some Fire Brigades also allow Station Commanders and various senior commanders to use personal owned vehicles, as it's cheaper than having a designated vehicle, e.g like the "Battalion Chief" vehicles over there in NA. There's also rarities, such as 7:19. In this case, it's a "DIM" van, or 'Detection, Identification, and Monitoring' to deal with Chemical, Biological, Radioactive, Nuclear and Explosive situations, where they use an unmarked van so as to not worry members of the public who spot the van responding somewhere - which of course gets defeated when you know what they are but hey ho. More "luxury cars" like the BMW/Volvo etc are used because they're reliable (or, supposed to be anyway - looking at you BMW Police Car Fires scandal) - and they're fast, and spacious. Basically, they're perfect emergency service vehicles.

That, and it is London. If they did that to everyone who let them pass, their hands would never touch the steering wheel.
