I don't think so. I think the bus just should have stopped, allowing the fire truck to pass on the right lane and then switch over to the free left lane (less braking of the truck needed -> faster at the emergency)
@@thenamen935 Nah i disagree, like the other reply said, Box truck diagonal to bus. Way too narrow of a space for fire truck to get through swiftly. Bus driver moving over to COMPLETELY clear the left lane was the wiser choice as the fire truck didn't need to slow down any more after them.
I think the reason the bus is there is to block all the cars ignoring the red cross. By blocking them and then move as the fire truck arrived the closed lane stayed clear.
The widest road in Norway is about the width of a normal suburban road in the US, I've never witnessed emergency responders having problems with reaching their target (In both US and Norway).
talkr21 - Your point falls flat the moment you consider roads in norway are much smaller than in the US, so perhaps emergency vehicles in norway would have more space, if the roads were wider.
As a German, this honestly makes me mad. Everyone is praising how well everyone is yielding, when what they do is absolute chaos and the fire fighters have to drive in a zigzag around cars all the time and constantly have to switch lanes because the emergency lane formed is not always in the same place. There's a simple rule to mitigate this: If you're in the leftmost lane, move to the left, in all other lanes, move to the right. That way an emergency lane forms in the same place everywhere, and it's much easier to drive through. All countries in the world, adopt the Rettungsgasse!

Try Japanese sirens. I saw an ambulance when visiting Japan. It had 3 different sirens and used all of them simultaneously at times. But it was obvious that the medics could control how many sirens they want to activate. Who knows, maybe I haven't even heard them all...? They also used a loudspeaker with recordings.

I thought that was typical for Japan for trying to be as little of a burden to other people as possible, even in case of an emergency.

Not sure for Norway but in Canada, it's the Law that you must move over for emergency vehicles. If its not law there, then I'm really impressed with how people are helping out and doing their part.
I'm Norwegian, it's the law here. But just as we don't walk around murder people because it's illegal, we don't move over because it's illegal not to, we move over to help save lives.

That would put Norways salary 36% higher. I am not sure if both calculations are exactly comparable because of part time jobs, bonus payments etc. But I think e.g. your restaurants and hair saloons are much more expensive than here in Germany.

I drive trucks, most people aren't aware just how long trucks are, and how they corner differently to normal vehicles. To do what they do in high traffic conditions is impressive.
As an American, I am completely confused and baffled by what is happening in this video: It looks like other drivers are actually moving their vehicles to get out of the way! No last-second attempts to cut off the firetruck! People even stopped at the intersection, even though they had the traffic light! Then the firefighter got out of the truck and walked- nobody tried to hit him, told him to get out of the f***ing road- not even a signle obscene gesture! It's almost as if these drivers care enough about their community to actually help the firefighters get where they need to go.... even though it's not convenient for them! I am utterly astonished!
Indonesians: "What is this loud ass vehicle think its doing? Sit in fucking traffic like the rest of us you privileged fuck." Seriously though. I've seen heated arguments about how some people here think they shouldn't need to give way to EMS.
Paweł Wojtas you cant impose that many strict rules though, it depends so much on your situation. Most basic and general rule you can give and enforce is “move to the side as much as you can”
One could have all cars to the right or left lane, but often one lane forks off to either the right or left becoming a single lane road, and you'd have noe idea witch lane would be the right choice. Also, in heavy traffic, merging two lanes into one, it just would not work.
Wtf do you expect without fucking space to move your car to side? Please be more realistic dude, is it your car covered by insurance by hitting car in front of you just to let emergency vehicle pass through?
At least they responded and reacted. Here in North America, (both U.S.A. and Canada), when drivers hear or see a police, ambulance or fire truck, the most likely reaction is: 1) slow down to see what's going on, 2) grab the cell phone, 3) start filming. 4) to hell with the fact that I may be the cause of somebody's death, I have a video to put on UA-cam.
Yet in Australia EVs made up .2% of car sales. There's a few reasons; they're expensive, there's no government incentive in most states, SUVs, dual cabs and 4x4s are the biggest sellers here and there are no EV variants in size, range or towability.
It is really satisfactory for me that everyone is giving way for the firemen to go through on that kind of traffic. If it were where I live everyone would just kinda honk back to them and mind their own business if a traffic agent wasn't around :/.
Driving an ambulance myself (in Italy, it's just a Fiat Ducato or Renault Master) I still get amazed all the time by firetrucks and how they manage to squeeze through traffic sometimes
I have never seen fire trucks ever get flipped off in the states. People are good about moving out of the way from what I have experienced Think you are just looking for “anti-American” likes lol
@@darthkillerhog... that you miss to acknowledge that other countries are free too. The laws in first world countries are rather similar.

Well, again, there isn't actually much of a difference between the USA and Europe in that regard. The main difference is probably the part about the guns...
That’s why you should always do predictive driving. Always expect an emergency service vehicle. By increasing the gap between you and the car in front when stopped you can help more than you realise.

Great job guys! I love it when they got out of the Lieutenant's seat and physically started to take control of the vehicles ahead of them!
Рік тому
It's sad that he had to do it. Behavior of other drivers was terrible. I hoped that Norway is civilized enough to let emergency vehicle pass freely. Well, not yet
I've a lot of respect for firefighters. And to the intelligent drivers, it's common in Poland (and I'm sure it's common in Europe in general) to make a corridor for the ambulance, firefighters and police when there's a heavy traffic caused by a car crash on a highway. It's enough if a single concious driver initialize it and the hundreds of other drivers follow.
It is, but in recent years I've seen more and more reports of reckless drivers using these corridors to keep moving in front or behind emergency services - how dumb is that when there is likely to be a complete standstill ahead due to an accident? And if enough do it and clog the corridor, emergency services cant get to the accident and will actually have to get there on foot! Luckily, the police is cracking down hard on these turds - they cant get away from there at that point... I believe losing the drivers license on the spot for a year or so would be appropriate.
I'm literally crying seeing how all that driver respecting and try to give way to the emergency vehicle... I wish that could happen in Indonesia.. maybe 50 years from now.. hopefully..
There are laws in Europe: if you block an emergency vehicle, you'll get in trouble. Maybe you guys could try something like this if there's no such thing in your country yet.
@@IsleNaK we have that rules.. but people just so ignorant.. sometimes they got caught but only got ticket.. most of the time they got away with 1000 reasons
I've heard that Norway has really embraced electric cars, but I was still amazed to see in the first minute of this video about 3 Nissan Leaf and 2 Tesla! In one traffic jam! And then throughout the video I saw multiple Leaf and some BMW i3 too
dude... there was no rush hour. The left lane was closed, because that is where the crashed car was. You know, close off the lane to avoid a massive pileup of cars crashing into the crashed car?
Attique Hashmi That bus and cars behind him shouldnt even been in that lane. The lane is closed, which is indicated by the red cross above the tunnel ;)
That’s an overtaking lane, you drive in this lane only when you are overtaking, and if someone wants to overtake you, you go right lane to let him pass you
In Germany it can often look like this too, if we act wrong in such a situation during the license exam, we don't get the license. In case of emergency cars, FREE THE WAY. Drive on the middle of the street over red if you need to but FREE the Way. It's also made clear to us that if the intention was clearly to let the emergency people pass, then for that duration, there is no "wrong" on the street. Just let them pass
I'm genuinely surprised by the comments that this isn't normal in countries like the United States; where I live it's the law to do whatever you can to safely make way for emergency vehicles with their sirens on, not just some optional task. I figured that was the point of the lights and sirens, to make it known that an emergency vehicle needed priority on the road but apparently not.
@@EnjoyFirefighting Not when it comes to emergency vehicles. According to the law you have to make way for them. (at least where I live and I’m pretty sure it’s the same in Norway). 😁
@@Emsev100 It was an incredibly tight sitation so given the circumstances almost everyone did a very good job. No shoulder on the tight highway, a lot of cars, 2 onramps, 2 lines merging into one.
I feel this is the basic stuff from driving school. Get out of the way when there are emergencies. If its much traffic or narrow, you yeld to the side and slow down or stop.
In Ontario, Canada it's the law. You must pull over and can get fined. We even need to make sure (when possible) to move over one lane of an emergency vehicle or towtruck is pulled over on the shoulder to avoid accidentally hitting them. People are still getting use to it but it's a great idea.

Funny to read that to inhabitants of "the greatest country in the world" this is an amazing and wondrous miracle from a fairy tale. And to the rest of the world it is a common practice...
Bro, I keep having anxiety from those tight spaces, like how the heck can he drive so quickly without checking the sides. I need this man's driving skills
He is checking the sides, there is an assortment of mirrors that help him with it but he is probably checking them through his peripheral vision instead of actively turning his head. The mirrors will also include ones for checking the dead zones on the sides and maybe those in front (I think it's a Scania truck and they can be outfitted with dead-zone mirrors above the windshield below the greenish-sunshield kind of thing so they can see what's directly in front of them below the windshield) ;).
The driving-training is probably close to the same as in The Netherlands, and it's very thorough with regular re-training. And it's also about experience. I had my certificate for driving a forklift earlier than my regular license. At some point you know exactly how wide the forklift is and you don't hesitate anymore when you just have 5 centimeter (that's about 2 inch) to spare on both sides of the vehicle. This driver just knows the size of his vehicle very well. And if you looked carefully, you can clearly see he IS checking his mirrors.
må vite at når det er fult av trafikk så er det vanskelig å bevege seg og har lært at de ikke skal presse billister . om for mye skru av alt og kjøre vanlig, til mer åpent
I think in a lot of countries you don't get proper training in situations like these. I don't get it why it isn't normal to incluse this in driving lessons.
idk why everyones complimenting the drivers so much like most of them barely moved and the ones in the middle lane just stayed in the middle of the road?? The situation in the tunnel was perfect but the rest was horrible man
I still can't believe how bad some places are about pulling over. I grew up in midwest America (iowa) and whenever there were sirens both lanes pulled to the shoulder immediately. Then my folks moved down to south Carolina, and everytime I go and visit I almost get killed pulling over for sirens because no one else will.
It's cool how courteous everyone was, but jeez, having that many contiguous stretches of high-traffic roads that are that narrow? I guess I'm lucky to live in an area where even if every lane is filled with traffic there's still a place for emergency vehicles to get through.
Norway is full of hills and mountains, and the big cities are also surrounded by them. It is not easy to build large, wide roads everywhere. There is also a political reluctance to make it easy to drive in order to push people onto buses and trains, which creates situations like this. Norwegian emergency crews are certainly used to handling situations like this.

Not sure for Norway but in Canada, it's the Law that you must move over for emergency vehicles. If its not law there, then I'm really impressed with how people are helping out and doing their part.
Yeah you have to make way for police, ambulance, firefighters, etc, when they use blue lights
Pretty sure it’s everywhere the law
Same here in the US
@@victorjc5229 yeah its the same in the US but if you go too some large cities its routinely ignored
I'm Norwegian, it's the law here. But just as we don't walk around murder people because it's illegal, we don't move over because it's illegal not to, we move over to help save lives.

Nice American Cadillac. Even on America's streets, you don't see those much anymore. Couldn't imagine what it costs to fill the gas tank in Norway.
Gas has a normal price in Norway because they themself have much oil.
I think for Norwegians it is even quite cheap because of the high salaries.
@@frodo5882 noo.....that's not right xD on expensive days, it's around 2.16usd to a litre. And a full tank (50 litre) would then cost 107.81usd....now that is expensive IMO as a Norwegian with a normal salary 😅
@@zaximotheoutlaw9840 That would be 1.82 euros. In Germany, where I live, it's 1.58 euros at the moment. So for you it's only 15% more expensive, but your average salary is much higher, I would say about 50% higher than in Germany.
EDIT: I am referring to Super, not Diesel.
@@frodo5882 50% higher? Really? That seems like a lot.. but you might be right?...the average year income in norway is 400.000 nok (before tax ofc) what is it in Germany?
@@zaximotheoutlaw9840 According to ssb.no it was 48.750 NOK per month in 2020. That is actually lower than I thougt.
In Germany, it was 3.427 euros [Bundesagentur für Arbeit].
That would put Norways salary 36% higher. I am not sure if both calculations are exactly comparable because of part time jobs, bonus payments etc.
But I think e.g. your restaurants and hair saloons are much more expensive than here in Germany. A hair cut here is like 15 euros, in Norway more like 400 NOK I think 🤔
I drive trucks, most people aren't aware just how long trucks are, and how they corner differently to normal vehicles.
To do what they do in high traffic conditions is impressive.
As an American, I am completely confused and baffled by what is happening in this video: It looks like other drivers are actually moving their vehicles to get out of the way! No last-second attempts to cut off the firetruck! People even stopped at the intersection, even though they had the traffic light! Then the firefighter got out of the truck and walked- nobody tried to hit him, told him to get out of the f***ing road- not even a signle obscene gesture! It's almost as if these drivers care enough about their community to actually help the firefighters get where they need to go.... even though it's not convenient for them! I am utterly astonished!

@@abloodynova7625 those people are probably the one who bought the driving license instead getting it from doing a driving test
Pretty surprised by comments. To me many drivers responded way too late. Like there are no strict rules as how to give passage to emergency vehicles.
Paweł Wojtas you cant impose that many strict rules though, it depends so much on your situation. Most basic and general rule you can give and enforce is “move to the side as much as you can”
One could have all cars to the right or left lane, but often one lane forks off to either the right or left becoming a single lane road, and you'd have noe idea witch lane would be the right choice. Also, in heavy traffic, merging two lanes into one, it just would not work.
Wtf do you expect without fucking space to move your car to side?
Please be more realistic dude, is it your car covered by insurance by hitting car in front of you just to let emergency vehicle pass through?
Probably mostly Americans commenting like that. I was pretty much pulling my hair and screaming at the cars for being that slow.
At least they responded and reacted. Here in North America, (both U.S.A. and Canada), when drivers hear or see a police, ambulance or fire truck, the most likely reaction is:
1) slow down to see what's going on,
2) grab the cell phone,
3) start filming.
4) to hell with the fact that I may be the cause of somebody's death, I have a video to put on UA-cam.

I'm impressed with how many electric cars that country has! Glad to see everyone working to get out of the way and being considerate
Their government incentivises EVs. That’s why Tesla’s have sold so well there. Trying to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy :)
Compare to other European country, that country can afford it.
In 2020 87% of cars sold were either electric or hybrid. Majority of those electric.
Like 5 years ago
Yet in Australia EVs made up .2% of car sales. There's a few reasons; they're expensive, there's no government incentive in most states, SUVs, dual cabs and 4x4s are the biggest sellers here and there are no EV variants in size, range or towability.
It is really satisfactory for me that everyone is giving way for the firemen to go through on that kind of traffic. If it were where I live everyone would just kinda honk back to them and mind their own business if a traffic agent wasn't around :/.

That’s why you should always do predictive driving. Always expect an emergency service vehicle. By increasing the gap between you and the car in front when stopped you can help more than you realise.

@@ThorRuneHansen they use the sirens to warn people to get out of the way, they don't use it unless they really have too, if their lights are on that should already be an indication for you to clear the road.
I seen something similar like this where I live. It was in Seattle traffic and I was surprised how fast a fire truck and a cop car were able to pass through the traffic.
It was pretty cool seeing everyone making room for them to pass in such heavy traffic
Great job guys! I love it when they got out of the Lieutenant's seat and physically started to take control of the vehicles ahead of them!
It's sad that he had to do it. Behavior of other drivers was terrible. I hoped that Norway is civilized enough to let emergency vehicle pass freely.
Well, not yet
I've a lot of respect for firefighters. And to the intelligent drivers, it's common in Poland (and I'm sure it's common in Europe in general) to make a corridor for the ambulance, firefighters and police when there's a heavy traffic caused by a car crash on a highway. It's enough if a single concious driver initialize it and the hundreds of other drivers follow.
It is, but in recent years I've seen more and more reports of reckless drivers using these corridors to keep moving in front or behind emergency services - how dumb is that when there is likely to be a complete standstill ahead due to an accident? And if enough do it and clog the corridor, emergency services cant get to the accident and will actually have to get there on foot! Luckily, the police is cracking down hard on these turds - they cant get away from there at that point... I believe losing the drivers license on the spot for a year or so would be appropriate.
I'm literally crying seeing how all that driver respecting and try to give way to the emergency vehicle... I wish that could happen in Indonesia.. maybe 50 years from now.. hopefully..
well they don't really the way they should
There are laws in Europe: if you block an emergency vehicle, you'll get in trouble. Maybe you guys could try something like this if there's no such thing in your country yet.
@@IsleNaK we have that rules.. but people just so ignorant.. sometimes they got caught but only got ticket.. most of the time they got away with 1000 reasons
I've heard that Norway has really embraced electric cars, but I was still amazed to see in the first minute of this video about 3 Nissan Leaf and 2 Tesla! In one traffic jam! And then throughout the video I saw multiple Leaf and some BMW i3 too
Yeah. I'd say till this day, it's quite common to see eletric cars everywhere in Norway, no matter where in Norway you are
Same with the e-golf, they're bloody everywhere.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe around 10% of all cars registered in Norway are electric and 1 out of 2 cars sold are electric.
When there is a cooperation the result is always winning.

That tunnel part is the most amazing to me, the entire left lane was clear during rush hour
dude... there was no rush hour. The left lane was closed, because that is where the crashed car was. You know, close off the lane to avoid a massive pileup of cars crashing into the crashed car?
because the left lane was closed. look at the X signs in the tunnel
Let me just say that the country has a beautiful nature.

@Aryan R He Had A Clear Way To Move Forward But He Preferred To Give Way To Fire Truck
Attique Hashmi That bus and cars behind him shouldnt even been in that lane. The lane is closed, which is indicated by the red cross above the tunnel ;)
That’s an overtaking lane, you drive in this lane only when you are overtaking, and if someone wants to overtake you, you go right lane to let him pass you
In Germany it can often look like this too, if we act wrong in such a situation during the license exam, we don't get the license. In case of emergency cars, FREE THE WAY. Drive on the middle of the street over red if you need to but FREE the Way. It's also made clear to us that if the intention was clearly to let the emergency people pass, then for that duration, there is no "wrong" on the street. Just let them pass
I hope everybody at the emergency and responders where okay
Those are some nice driving skills😉👍 was that an old cadillac convertible @ 1:38 ?
Was not expecting to see a big ol' Caddy land yacht in Norway.
I'm genuinely surprised by the comments that this isn't normal in countries like the United States; where I live it's the law to do whatever you can to safely make way for emergency vehicles with their sirens on, not just some optional task. I figured that was the point of the lights and sirens, to make it known that an emergency vehicle needed priority on the road but apparently not.
I thought we Finns were good at yielding until I saw this. It's almost a coriographed dance.

I feel this is the basic stuff from driving school. Get out of the way when there are emergencies. If its much traffic or narrow, you yeld to the side and slow down or stop.
Fire truck driving in a narrow road gives me anxiety more than my presentation tomorrow
In Ontario, Canada it's the law. You must pull over and can get fined. We even need to make sure (when possible) to move over one lane of an emergency vehicle or towtruck is pulled over on the shoulder to avoid accidentally hitting them. People are still getting use to it but it's a great idea.

Bro, I keep having anxiety from those tight spaces, like how the heck can he drive so quickly without checking the sides. I need this man's driving skills
He is checking the sides, there is an assortment of mirrors that help him with it but he is probably checking them through his peripheral vision instead of actively turning his head.
The mirrors will also include ones for checking the dead zones on the sides and maybe those in front (I think it's a Scania truck and they can be outfitted with dead-zone mirrors above the windshield below the greenish-sunshield kind of thing so they can see what's directly in front of them below the windshield) ;).
The driving-training is probably close to the same as in The Netherlands, and it's very thorough with regular re-training. And it's also about experience. I had my certificate for driving a forklift earlier than my regular license. At some point you know exactly how wide the forklift is and you don't hesitate anymore when you just have 5 centimeter (that's about 2 inch) to spare on both sides of the vehicle.
This driver just knows the size of his vehicle very well. And if you looked carefully, you can clearly see he IS checking his mirrors.

Probably because it's surrounded by mountains and that's the widest they can make the road.
Norway is full of hills and mountains, and the big cities are also surrounded by them. It is not easy to build large, wide roads everywhere. There is also a political reluctance to make it easy to drive in order to push people onto buses and trains, which creates situations like this. Norwegian emergency crews are certainly used to handling situations like this.
