Vroom vroom! When someone needs help, there's no messing about. Armed Response are advanced drivers for a reason!
Thank you for yesterday m8
@@999_UK Was great fun!
999 Uk I would love to take videos and photos of Police cars I live in London. My Instagram is StephanThePortuguese_25_
@chris murphy Maybe your childish thoughts will change should you ever require the services of these fine gentlemen.
Nothing advanced about the x5 doing that lol
They dont mess around when a colleague is in trouble.. and rightly so! Nice catch
Woooooo! Wow that is an awesome catch! ARVs never mess around 🚓😆
Ikr
This video gives me positive goosebumps.
Same as when i was filming it
wait for the haters to comment.... as long as he had control of the vehicle, from which i can see he did then top driving sir.
It's not about hating but rather dangerous driving. Just because people like myself are ERD trained, it does not mean we're allowed to be reckless and endanger the public. He nearly crashed the vehicle. Would have been low impact but still. Bullied a vehicle through a red light, which is not allowed and would be failed on a ERD test for and at one point two wheels are off the road... that's not being in control of the vehicle.
@@emmabarnes4884 "Nearly crashed" except he didn't even come close to hitting anything. Whilst I agree it probably doesn't give a good impression, and is slightly more dangerous, it's hardly fair to say "he nearly crashed"... when he didn't even come close. Two wheels came off the ground momentarily as he was straightening back up, it's not as if they came off the ground as he went round a sharp bend....
When your tyres leave the ground and the stability control starts braking wheels your not in control of your vehicle, you are a passenger to physics. The drive was not safe and systematic, it was rushed. I am advanced driver trained and done blue runs. You don risk a life to save a life
@Jordan being ex police and having been involved in advance driver training it’s a term that covers mindset. What I mean is, you don’t allow red mist or a feeling that getting to the scene is the most important factor. The safety of your vehicle and members of the public are the most important thing. Crashing an emergency vehicle is a big deal and costs a lot more than ensure a high degree of safety is the primary goal. If you crash a rapid response vehicle it affects the ability of the service to provide care
I love it two professionals answer with expertise and real world experience and all the youtube experts are like yeah no we know better.
Dangerous driving
A stupid why to drive.
This driving is justified considering it was obviously a high priority call.
Not supposed to pressure someone through a red regardless of advanced driver certs or response grade
Awesome catch, did you get this yesterday?
UKEmergencyVideos yes
That's the kind of response I expect to see when someone is defacing Winston Churchill
Excuse me, but what about bullying that one car through the red light? I thought they aren't supposed to do that.
Police Officers can request vehicles to contravene a red light where required. I would say the use of the horn was obvious enough sign to get through the red light.
@billesh55 Well, now that I think about it, does using the horn count as a police officer ordering someone to contravene a red traffic signal?
It should be noted that in Germany, you are legally required to contravene any traffic law that may prevent you from giving way to an emergency vehicle. This is because German law places lights and sirens above all other traffic laws.
@@johnarat9618 In this instance in the manner the Officer has used the horn in and under the given circumstances present, I would say it was an obvious enough signal. Anything else would be left down to the individuals concept of common sense.
@@billesh55 I kinda like German law better than British law when it comes to getting out of the way of an emergency vehicle. What do you think?
@@johnarat9618BLAH BLAH BLAH you never want to be wrong you got called out now dip off
I think you will find it was just dinner time at the station or end of shift knock off and cuppa tea 😂
🤣😂😂
Wow? I love advanced driving up to class1a skills all round,more videos especially country lane driving high speed, well done police ambulance, fire etc.
Class 1 was gotten rid of about 15 years ago he will be advance pursuit driver, the vehicle was unstable and he was would have been in breach of met policy
This is awsome!
Is the copper going to pay his fine for running a red light? didn't think so....this is bullying and disgraceful driving! i have had a cop car blasting its bullhorn behind me so i literally got out and knocked on window and told him you do know its illegal right for me to run a red light even for the police? got back in and waited for it turning green!
Whatever anyone says you do not have to move out the way for any blue lights if your at red lights or have no where to go and you wont be able to use this excuse when they fine you for it.
- Running red lights even for a ambulance or police = illegal
- Driving up pavement = illegal
Going to court and saying "oh but the police officer held his horn for me to move" wont get you out of it, if they care so much about getting to a incident maybe they shouldn't make it illegal to move for them and with cost of living and inflation who wants to be paying fines simply because a copper is given a siren to play with.
Quite funny to be honest they add all these cameras and laws to catch us then have the police going around bullying us into breaking them so they can fine us for it! and for the people saying oh you wont be fined as its for a cop car you have no idea what your even talking about.
Dropped on your head at birth or something? They’re police you dopey Pratt 🤦🏼♂️ bet if you called them to assist you you wouldn’t want them waiting at red lights…
Get well soon
@@LFSIX Get sectioned soon.
@@connor6585 you're the one who wrote an essay in the comments
@@LFSIX Isn’t that the whole point in comments? Not my fault I can string an essay together when one liners is the full extent of your education.
Great catch and blimey 🤣👍
Had the driver crashed he would have been charger with driving offences. Aside from, the fact met have signed up to blue light aware which says they won't bully people through red lights! Your supposed to have the vehicle under systematic control not getting air as it's out of control. But it looks good in fast furious movies. It's called red mist when drivers take risks to far to get where they are going and getting there is more important than safety
Well It Is Okay That He Told the Mercedes Driver To Get Through The Red Light,What Else Is He Supposed To Do,Stop With Your WAH WAH BULLYING DRIVING! When He Has Lights And Sirens,But I Gotta Agree He Was Kinda Driving Insaneley Fast,I Get it Hes Responding To A Emergency Response But Like You Said Saftey First,Esp With Lights And Sirens.
@Z_Hunter_Z Anyone with ERD training will see and agree that the driving displayed by the individual driving the ARV is just plain dangerous. It doesn't matter what call you're en route to you do not put others at risk by pushing them through red lights and you do not fly across kerbs catching air on the other side. They have allowed red mist to take over their driving and that is the sort of behaviour that gets innocent people killed and response drivers sacked and sentenced.
Those eroupe hi-LO 0:12
holy fuck, nice capture!
Thanks mate
White Merc driver is obviously blind
Well
Crazy
Awesome video!!
Why is it always a Mercedes Benz blocking the way through….totally oblivious
The white car is so slooooooooow to react... mate you see a top advanced driver driving a massive powerful X5 , in your wingmirrors, you better get the fuck out and change lane quiiiiiiiicck.... 😅
I could be wrong but I don't think they are armed response. Armed response have an orange asterisk usually. A dot is general response.
They are firearms. U can tell by the yellow dots in the corner of the windows and u can see it says ARV on his uniform
red dot on the ROOf is general "Area" responce.
London - yellow dots are ARV
Counties - red star are CTSFO
red square - Armed MOD
yellow square - MOD
But legally the don't have to say, they are their to tell other police cars when they join pack, and to keep traffic wardens away,
The orange Asterisk is on the roof.... which identifies it as an ARV to any helicopter. You'll also notice on police vehicles they have numbers on top, these are known as "Force identifier codes", I'm serving in the Met, and we use both 01 and 02, so any car with those on the roof will be a Met vehicle. Other counties use other numbers...
The shapes, i.e triangle, square, circle, asterisk etc identify the type of vehicle, and are found on the roof, firearms vehicles are almost always X5's nowadays, in the Met anyway, and those that are ARV's will have yellow circular decals in the top right and left corners of the windscreen and the rear window typically. They will have an orange asterisk on the roof as well as the PNC force identifier code of 01.
You're thinking it's not a firearms vehicle because it has yellow circles in the windows, a normal response car will have an orange circular shape on the roof, but won't display anything other than the three letters in the rear windows, firearms vehicles display an orange asterisk on the roof PLUS yellow circular decals in the front and rear windows typically.
If you see a Met X5, without the yellow circular decals, then it's more than likely a traffic vehicle, especially if it's fitted with a towbar.
The old station I used to parade out of at one point had a BMW X5 as the area car, as a replacement for the BMW 330d's we used to have, this was a hybrid/electric version of the X5 which the Met were trialling at the time.
Most stations now, for borough response teams, use BMW 530i's or 530d's for their area cars.
you can tell, by the yellow dots, vehicle design and its compressed gas mate.
Can this be shared?
Almost crashed! 0:09
Yh he did
How? It’s called late braking, it’s how one would drive a car in an emergency, no?
@@Horizon301. late braking is not a principle of Roadcraft (advanced driving principles) funnily enough
@@infrared567 so you would break in advance and slow your response down? Sounds awfully counter intuitive...
@@Horizon301. yes! As a person who has undertaken a high speed advanced course and read Roadcraft start to end. Whats your experience of blue light driving?
they should use sedans instead of suv s ....
How do you know what the driver was responding to? Nonsense
Thanks to BMW xDrive
First class driving
Insane speed ?😂😂😂😂
As much as I love this video, this is dangerous driving and breaks multiple regulations/rules under blue light conditions. This police driver is a danger to the public. This is an obvious case of red mist. The driver needs retraining.
Emma Barnes The driver driving this car underwent intensive training to drive at those speeds. It's a firearms squad; they respond to the most serious of calls where someone's life is in immediate danger. As such, they need to be able to get to an incident ASAP.
You know they were trained to do this, right?
Agreed.
Emma I understand where you’re coming from, however this is an ARV as mentioned above, they’re advanced drivers (pursuit, T pack, tactical contact trained etc). Depending on what they’re responding to (let’s say an active shooting), then their manner of driving is highly likely to be justifiable compared to a mobile phone being stolen.
Yawn. So because you say you're an emergency response driver yourself, you think you can criticise an advanced driver?
Do you know how intensive an advanced driving course is?
Colleagues of mine who are advanced drivers have been known to reverse around a right angle corner with parked cars on both sides at 40 miles per hour and keep good control. I've been in a pursuit whereby the driver has gone through a width restriction barrier at 70+ miles an hour..... the standard required is very high. Whilst I'll agree he took more risks than most drivers would have done, I wouldn't deem it fair to say that he "nearly crashed" as you suggested in another comment or that he needs "Retraining" and had "Red mist", red mist is more common in pursuits or foot chases, neither of which apply here. I doubt this was red mist, more of an urgent call....
I would love to know from someone who is a serving driver or an ex driver, if this was actually legal. Firstly, he mounted the pavement and then obviously went down the road against on coming traffic. I would possibly say that this might be illegal even for an emergency shout. The only thing that a police car can do and get away with, is if they hit your wing mirrors, or cause minor damage to your car, they can drive off. If it is a more serious accident, then they have to stop. However, I cannot see this being legal. I will also call this clickbait as well, as he was NOT at insane speed, due to the traffic. The officer even locked up his wheels breaking, You can see the lock up at 0:18.
All emergency vehicle can make use of the exemptions of not following directional signs, i.e. keep left, as this officer did by driving oncoming. It's not clearly stated that emergency vehicles can mount the pavement, but as long as the officer can justify his reasoning, i.e. it was a threat to life call, where sitting in traffic would possibly jeopardise the response time. These exemptions he exercised, with reasonable grounds, would avoid criminal conviction, but civil action can be taken if anyone was to be injured. It's clear it was a high priority call as he made the Mercedes run the red light when in regular low priority calls, he would sit and wait with sirens off.
Of course they are...
I'm serving, not a "Trained driver", basic, A to B only, but even I know that they can make use of exemptions, including going against the flow of traffic, it's been done thousands of times on response runs, and firearms drivers are all advanced drivers, which is the highest level there is, response drivers (which is the level below) are allowed to do it, so these guys most certainly are.
Ultimately the justification should any collision occur, whether it be with another vehicle or a pedestrian, lies with the driver, so it's up to them.
Yes I agree and forcing another driver through a red traffic light, STUPID!
that is very good first response driving
LOL u spelt Response wrong XD
Didnt
@@999_UK oh i think im blind
sosszyy
No worries mate
