  • Welcome! Today we're following a Dutch emergency team with police motor vehicles and an ambulance. A patient is in critical condition and needs to be transported from the A12 Knorrestein to the Erasmus Medical Center Rotterdam as soon as possible. The ambulance staff requested a motor escort from the control room of the ambulance service. After approval, the request is forwarded to the control room of the police. They then dispatch the motor officer of the Traffic Team. Once on the scene, the commander of the motor officer makes arrangements with the ambulance driver regarding the route and the type of transport. The Traffic Team is part of the Regional Operational Cooperation Service. They are responsible for supervision, enforcement and crime prevention at the junctions of the infrastructure. Tasks include traffic enforcement and traffic accident handling. The department also manages the automatic number plate recognition. The Traffic Team is always in the middle of the operation and fully connected with the basic teams. Despite the fact that their core business is traffic enforcement and handling of traffic accidents, one can also encounter them at the “regular” emergency calls. As a team, they are responsible for the integral traffic enforcement and handling of complex traffic accidents within the service area of the unit. They want to have and maintain a current view of the prioritized safety themes, from a decisive, result-oriented, operational and collaborative perspective. They actively seek operational cooperation with the basic teams, both ad hoc and project-based. In this way, they want to bring in knowledge and expertise.

      No, you have to follow a police officer his directions and orders in traffic. The bleu flash light and siren are only to inform you that a vehicle is approaching with first right of way. You have to know that for your theoretic examination for your drivers license. His orders and directions go above all other traffic rules. The police officer can even be in civilian clothes on a civilian looking motor bike. He will let you now he is police by a display or verbally, you have to follow his orders in that case also.

      ​@@theovanderstorm3171 Ok, no, at least not here. Blue lights do not give right of way, and their orders and directions do not supersede all traffic rules.
      They are afforded a great many powers, but they are not god. When running blue lights you must not obstruct them, that much is true. But lights for them means "proceed with caution", the road traffic act is quite explicit in mentioning that they do not have implied right of way. They must not drive in a manner that endangers the public. Irrespective of blue lights.
      A police officer must also not give you an order that contravenes the law, or an order that would endanger you. All traffic rules are safety related, so they must not give you an order that tells you to disobey that, as it could cause an accident.
      Blue lights mean absolutely nothing if the action you would have to take would endanger you, other road users, or the emergency service vehicle.
      They have a duty of care and no order they give must violate that, their driving must also not violate that.
      You are also allowed to ask for ID before following any orders from a police officer in civilian clothes.
      Make no mistake, I am not suggesting for a moment that anybody should hinder the emergency services in any way. They do very important work and you should do everything in your power to allow them to safely pass you. But from a legal standpoint, your knowledge of the law when it comes to blue lights is flawed at best.
      In case you think "oh what does he know". I have done the emergency services blue light training. The biggest thing that was impressed in said training is you absolutely DO NOT have right of way, it is proceed with caution, and you must not endanger any other road user.

      Not sure for netherlands, but in France, there are pre selection and selection that tests firstly your aptitude on off-road with enduro, then your aptitude on ground with handling with roadster (many gets eliminated here), then they do some circuits to start handling the bikes while doing signs fluently. And then they practice on real traffic.
      Apparently only 80% of people can pass those selections (everyone had already its permit to drive bikes)
      Once they are within the team, there are formations to maintain their levels or build skills like shooting from the bike.

      I guess the gap was too big between him and the ambulance, so he had to slow down. But he should have done just that, slowed down (in combination with turning off his emergency signals), so the mistake wasn't necessarily turning them off I think, but keeping such a high speed and sitting in the cars blind spot. You could see the panic in the drivers movement when the signals were turned back on, he reacted quickly though.

      @@OldLordSpeedycouple of things not quite right: it’s snelweg not autobahn (we’re not German).
      The whole idea of these roadclearing trips is to clear traffic in advance of the ambulance so the ambulance can keep a constant speed. More comfortable for the patient. Hence you’ll see the motorcycle speed up to close the gap with traffic in front, so that he (or she) can get the lane cleared in time.
      The cops don’t drive at a steady 200kph, usually their speed is much lower (since the ambulance driver should not exceed certain speed limits, again for the comfort of their patient).
      Finally, traffic on Dutch snelwegen tend to drive at around the speed limit so 100-105kmph during the day and 130-140 after 7PM (when speed limits are adjusted). The speed difference between traffic and cops is therefore barely ever as big as you make it out to be.

    Police should keep sirens on if they want to pass. Last week I had a police van without sirens driving behind me on my motorcycle around 1m behind me. I couldnt move over the lane because it was a double solid white line which is forbidden to cross. I crossed this exact same line in the same place to let a police car with sirens pass a year earlier and he was actually trying to pull me over and I hadnt realised yet. When he stopped me he threatened me with a ticket for crossing the double white line. I said "I was letting you pass" and he said "but it is still forbidden" 😂 sometimes you cannot possibly do the right thing according to Police.

    @Emergency P.O.V interesting concept of driving a bike at speed and expecting cars to use that thing called a rear veiw mirror or indeed any mirror to see the bike,, regardless of being fully marked up and moving over without sirens or lights on,, because with lights and sirens on he was still struggling to clear traffic out of the way...also remember a bike is a lot less big then a car,, eg alot less of a physical presence then a car to spot and dominate the road space..and i know a bit about that aspect because i ride a bike.

    The right hand is the throttle! As soon as you tell them to move over you have the hand off the throttle, and are going to slow down, and they go past?
    Left hand traffic can do it, as the left hand is the clutch, not needed to maintain speed, just to change down. You can change up a gear without the clutch.

    1:40 Incorrect! Because the siren and lights are out, the white vehicle has no reason to believe the cop is on the road for an emergency. If a cop is behind you and their lights and sirens are not enables there is 0 obligation to move over. The driver of the car moved over immediately as soon as the lights and sirens came on. The only person to fault for this situation is the cop, he should have kept his lights on.
    2:40 Almost got hit? How does a guy get hit by hitting someone in front of him? Nonsense.
    Lastly, the only bit of commentary you provided that was of any informative value was that the cops are needed so the Ambulance can navigate the busy streets and crossings of Rotterdam safely. For the rest the commentary has been full of incorrect assumptions and misinformation. It's clear you don't know what you're talking about.

    This is extremely ridiculous. This is how funeral processions work, as well as how they need to work, only at a much slower speed.
    They call this 'safe!?' Yeah, it's safe... Safe enough for the motorcycle cops to hit another vehicle, at such a high rate of speed, and instantly die. This also takes up cops that could easily be doing more cop related things.
    Drivers don't have to move over for ambulances... That's kinda part of the purpose of ambulances - for traffic to move over and let them get by. They also can't, and shouldn't, speed. They just need to use caution getting through intersections.

      "So, if you have a patient that needs to get to hospital," is it better to get the patient there safely or potentially cause unsafe transport?
      Even cops can't speed unless they're pursuing a high speed chase. Ambulances and fire trucks can not speed. As per the law, when ANY vehicle with at least lights running, with or without siren running, other drivers are required to pull to the side or at least create space for the ambulance, fire truck, cop, to get by. They have the same responsibility as other drivers do to cautiously approach and drive through intersections.
      Until six months ago... I lived at an intersection where the nearest hospital was about 20(+) minutes away and the furthest away local hospital was about nearly 45 minutes away. Escorts never used for any ambulance calls, never have been.
      FYI: Ambulances do have medics riding in the back with the patient. At least one, sometimes two. Patients do get care/treatment in ambulances during transport.
