Thank you sir, very happy to make the spotlight! Love your work, and every one of those sick rides!! Ironically, I just did a short Tribute vid this week to your RevBomb prowess! Ride safe brother
Ambulances aren't legally allowed break the speed limit. Also in urban areas often if the ambulance is driven more slowly & smoothly, allowing more medical attention to be delivered on-route, the patient arrives at the hospital sooner.
+G. Bell First of all, there is no such a thing as ambulance driver. In order to drive emergency ambulances, you must be either an ECA/ECSW (Emergency Care Assistant/Emergency Care Support Worker), EMT (Emergency Medical Technician), EAC (Emergency Ambulance Crew), Student Technician or Student Paramedic (in-house training pathway), Paramedic, ECP (Emergency Care Practitioner) or CCP (Critical Care Paramedic), and probably, a couple of things more, but definitely not an ambulance driver. Let's get the basics right. Every single NHS Ambulance Trust set their own emergency (blue light) driving rules as for the speed limit. Some of them, eg EEAST, allow their staff to go up to 20 miles per hour over the stated speed limit. On the other hand, other Services' policy states that staff can go up to 50% faster than the stated speed limit, eg SWAST. This means 45mph in a 30mph zone, 75mph in a 50mph zone, and so on. However, staff must always find the balance between rapidity and patient's comfort, specially when driving under emergency circumstances. If, on top of that, the patient is feeling sick on the back of the ambulance or, the attendant needs to stand up to take care of the patient, speed must be reduced. Having to pay attention to the back of the ambulance and driving with blues ant twos is not an easy task at all. Ambulance staff are not supposed to drive as fast as they can but as safe as they can. As long as the vehicle is making good progress, there is no point in rushing vehicles to get out of the ambulance way, as they can panic and have an accident, meaning that, even despite the fact that the ambulance was not involved in the accident, they would have to pull over, wait for the police to arrive and the member of the staff who was driving, would have to be breathalysed and cautioned. Definitely, no one's cup of tea.
Very nice of you to give one of your subscribers a spotlight. Good RJ! I like your videos, by the way. Been watching for a while but I don't comment much. I like that you're different and not your typical motovlogger that curses every other word. Man of few words! Keep up the good work buddy! :)
Yo dude! I'm about to start my vlogs with my Raptor 700 quad on the road we should have a sound contest lol, hope to see you out on the road soon bro! Love your edits man nice talking to you on facebook ✌
+Herr Fenchel I wouldn't risk it. They do exist but they are for glass. I ruined one of my visors by using such a spray, they're not meant for porous surfaces like plastics. Look into an antifog coating from a dive shop or consider mounting your camera at a slight angle.
tucsondog I am aware of that. Better cameras do have a glass lense though. And for example there are glasses for the waterproof case of the Gopro. Might not take the risk, but it´s worth a thought.
Regarding 3:24, I dont know if it's just my luck but especially on the m27/m3 I've had so many issues with those "Enterprise" Vans, they're all out to kill me! Keep drifting over or pulling out on their phones etc, not like they can't hear me coming...
Hey RJ, i am a paramedic in Germany and when I drive the ambulance with patient, paramedic assisstent and doctor I have to slow down. In this moment we are responsible for 3 healthy and 1 critical life. So its hard to find the right speed to get fast to the hospital on the one side, but on the other side to be careful because of the 2 medicals in the back of the ambulance... Driving to the emergency in race modus, driving back to hospitl with patient like an old lady =D
In the states, following any emergency vehicle, can get you a BIG ticket for hindering. I don't envy your London traffic, but I sure love the beautiful scenery outside of the city!
Idea for when it's raining. You know the spray you get for shoes to keep them dry? Spray that on your lens. The drips will just roll straight off and can't stick. That's for when you have that one bit of rain that doesn't go and just sits there ruining the footage! :)
Have you tried something like Rain-X on the weather sealed case of the GoPro to make the water slide off easier? They recommend it on their site (GoPro does), I use it on mine as I have it on my dog and she runs in the sea :P
in the video you drive with the grom when its rainy. Do you do that everytime when it rains about de lower power than the other? sorry for the bad grammar.
RJ, honest question. Why the shake of the head towards the ambulance near the end (11:30ish) ? Frustration at how long it took before it caught up, or did it do something wrong that i am missing ?
+RoyalJordanian putting a coat of Rain-X windshield liquid makes water droplets fall right off the camera lenses, I've used it on several GoPros, and it works flawlessly, you should try it out :)
Being someone that has recently come from a CBT to a full licence, its scare to see people on L plates riding so incompetent. I understand we all need to learn sometime.
Hello! I love your video but the Honda MSX 125, I found that the noise of the exhaust is too disturbing, no? I mean when you're a constant speed: D friendly, a new fan! !
Hi RJ, love from India. Your videos are very inspiring, good job. I also do vlogging but I have poor sound recording. How or what you use to record sound while driving, maybe faster? I have Sony X1000V but bad sound. Thanks and good luck.
Heh..was my mistake. Texas should be "Dallas" (tv-serie) and JR. I didn remember that correct =D It has looong time when that came from tv. But Jardanian Royal with double cheese, not bad either!
@RoyalJordanian, i would advice you to buy some super hydrophobic spray for your gopro lens, that way you can record rainy days better because no water drops would disturb your view
I think if I was driving that ambulance I'd be cursing a biker that dodged past me. Those guys have a most important job to do and they are trying to do it safely and quickly. Having to worry about traffic coming up behind and passing while they are trying to thread traffic themselves is not very respectful. In fact in my country it is illegal.
hey those metzeler feelfree wintec you put on the grom how good are they in cold rain, snow and melting snow conditions getting a 2016 msx/grom soon for all year commuting btw love that bike collection
Hey RJ, I wanted to ask a few things. Do you use your camera for security purposes too, outside of RUclips? And, Do you have your camera on at all times or just when you chose to? :)
+RoyalJordanian So... moral of the story if you need a trip to the hospital in England don't call the Ambulance call RJ he will get you there faster!!!
Thank you sir, very happy to make the spotlight! Love your work, and every one of those sick rides!! Ironically, I just did a short Tribute vid this week to your RevBomb prowess! Ride safe brother
+IronicRebound You are welcome :)
That little red car was an Austin Healey Frogeye Sprite by the way
+Jack Wheatley you beat me to it!!!
+Jack Wheatley sweet, I had no IDEA, never seen it before
Lee Ward I was surprised no one had mentioned it ha :)
I'm a simple man, when I see RJ videos.
I click.
Guess I'm a complex man because I don't just watch it, I give it a like also.
+yo53xme Did I spot a 9gagger here? :D
Click!

Just bought a new headphones, great way to test them lol
+TheCr4Zz How was the sound ?
+lee spender nice and deep, love it! btw, headphones: Marshall Major
Why? Huh, I do not really understand :/
TheCr4Zz lmao nvm, internet humour.

+G. Bell yes they are, they can claim an exemption under law. Section 87 Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984
I know of 4 cases where ambulance drivers have been prosecuted for speeding while responding to a 999 call.
+GTgameTime They shouldn't travel faster than 20mph above the posted speed limit.
+G. Bell First of all, there is no such a thing as ambulance driver. In order to

+G. Bell They're emergency response vehicles - If they're heading to a call they can go whatever speed.
I tend to curl my toes a little when RJ is throttling up on wet roads with paint stripes whilst lane splitting. Excellent video btw.
Very nice of you to give one of your subscribers a spotlight. Good RJ!
I like your videos, by the way. Been watching for a while but I don't comment much. I like that you're different and not your typical motovlogger that curses every other word.
Man of few words! Keep up the good work buddy! :)
I guess I haven't seen every one of his videos since Fed 2014 ;-) But still, it is very nice of him to spotlight his fans! Good man, he is.
out of all the moto vloggers I'm subscribed to, RJ is the one I look forward to the most!
Yo dude! I'm about to start my vlogs with my Raptor 700 quad on the road we should have a sound contest lol, hope to see you out on the road soon bro! Love your edits man nice talking to you on facebook ✌
5:37 I am wondering if there is a hdrophobic Nanospray on the market for camera lenses?
+Herr Fenchel There are some hydrophobic sprays for windshields. Maybe they work on lenses, too.
+Herr Fenchel I wouldn't risk it. They do exist but they are for glass. I ruined one of my visors by using such a spray, they're not meant for porous surfaces like plastics. Look into an antifog coating from a dive shop or consider mounting your camera at a slight angle.
tucsondog I am aware of that. Better cameras do have a glass lense though. And for example there are glasses for the waterproof case of the Gopro. Might not take the risk, but it´s worth a thought.
+Herr Fenchel There is some emerging tech that is safe for plastics, but it drys as a film. I suppose upgrading to a glass lens cover could help.
+Herr Fenchel I'm sure you can get small glass lens covers to spray it onto.
Regarding 3:24, I dont know if it's just my luck but especially on the m27/m3 I've had so many issues with those "Enterprise" Vans, they're all out to kill me! Keep drifting over or pulling out on their phones etc, not like they can't hear me coming...
Absolutely love your videos RJ, they make me quite happy! Would love to get a bike like those once
Is it weird that sometimes I listen to the videos of him filtering as I fall asleep? I find the sound of the engines extremely relaxing.
In Melbourne we have paramedics on motorcycles to arrive and administer initial care before the ambulance arrives.
13:43, that is a Citroën Méhari, the chassis, suspension and driveline are the same as on the Citroën 2CV. In GTA 5, its called the Canis Kalahari ;)
shout out from India RJ !
+1
Some say rj is still following that ambulance
I love your videos and watching your pedestrian rewinds makes me laugh, keep doing what you do. I hope to get my bike back k. the road soon 😞

Driving to the emergency in race modus, driving back to hospitl with patient like an old lady =D
I find these videos extremely relaxing
With the 'surely you can go faster' clip it could be a good chance of it being a spinal or neck injury! You go slow to prevent any further injury.
13:43 that's a Citroën Mehari for the use of beach
I could listen to the sound this bikes make all day.
In the states, following any emergency vehicle, can get you a BIG ticket for hindering.
I don't envy your London traffic, but I sure love the beautiful scenery outside of the city!
I was just going say it's never rain in London on your videos then it's bloody does great videos RJ .
Ironic Rebound, that at 13.40 it´s a Citroen Mehari.
Always good to have an ambulance close by when you riding in conditions like that.
Me thinks RJ should become London's Motorcycle Paramedic. That response time!
KTM 1290 Super Duke R sounds vicious at full throttle, love it
the superduke and the s1000r sound amazing!!
Nice rev with the grom, I like that :)
my head is still vibrating after listening to the grom following that ambulance
I had one of those mirrors when I used to cycle, never got used to it and was always paranoid it would stab my face lol
2:45 it always amaze how learner riders don't have their feet on the foot rests when on the move.
RJ you need a RSV4 to complete your beatifull symphony!
the ambulance might of had a person with back/neck injury so was trying for a smoth and fast ride ?
mic picks up the sound of the bike really well
@ironic rebound, the red one was a frogeye sprite and the yellow one was a citroen cv
I feel like RJ would make a really good Motorcycle paramedic! He'd be at calls is a flash!
I love that woman's smile at 1:00 haha
Idea for when it's raining. You know the spray you get for shoes to keep them dry? Spray that on your lens. The drips will just roll straight off and can't stick. That's for when you have that one bit of rain that doesn't go and just sits there ruining the footage! :)
Mad kudos for checking wether that dog had been abandoned.
Have you tried something like Rain-X on the weather sealed case of the GoPro to make the water slide off easier? They recommend it on their site (GoPro does), I use it on mine as I have it on my dog and she runs in the sea :P
i love watching thes videos just because i like the sound of the egsaust pipe
what two bikes are those at 3:56? the comparison of the vtwin and the il4
3:44 Sound of my heart! :-)
in the video you drive with the grom when its rainy. Do you do that everytime when it rains about de lower power than the other? sorry for the bad grammar.
What does the red "L" sign stand for under the licenseplate and why do you need it?
RJ, honest question. Why the shake of the head towards the ambulance near the end (11:30ish) ? Frustration at how long it took before it caught up, or did it do something wrong that i am missing ?
+Fishbait075 Because when it finally caught up, the drivers were too slow moving out of it's way.
Thanks for the reply RJ. I thought it might have been something like that. Didn't think you would be that judgemental towardsthe ambulance itself.
My current score with pigeons: 1 dead pigeon - 1 broken windscreen
The yellow car the in the subscriber highlight was a Citoen Mehari I think. Very funny cars.
+RoyalJordanian putting a coat of Rain-X windshield liquid makes water droplets fall right off the camera lenses, I've used it on several GoPros, and it works flawlessly, you should try it out :)
Being someone that has recently come from a CBT to a full licence, its scare to see people on L plates riding so incompetent. I understand we all need to learn sometime.
Dont stop under the Pigeons hahaha very true :)
Hello! I love your video but the Honda MSX 125, I found that the noise of the exhaust is too disturbing, no? I mean when you're a constant speed: D
friendly, a new fan! !
What exhaust do you have on your Grom? Sounds amazing 😆
Hi RJ, love from India. Your videos are very inspiring, good job. I also do vlogging but I have poor sound recording. How or what you use to record sound while driving, maybe faster?
I have Sony X1000V but bad sound. Thanks and good luck.
oh god i never thought id see the word vibe on an rj video
Hey RJ, ever thought about putting a hydrophobic coating on your camera lens? (like RainX or something)
13:44 should be a citroen, based on the 2CV
RJ, u can try next time use this;
Q: r u RJ?
RJ: no! im from texas and they call me JR
Jordanian Royal? Sounds like something you buy at burger king....
Heh..was my mistake. Texas should be "Dallas" (tv-serie) and JR. I didn remember that correct =D It has looong time when that came from tv. But Jardanian Royal with double cheese, not bad either!
Sounds good! ;)
13:13 that moment when RJ realises he fucked up
Ed van Andel I thought it was him
+akhil krishna nope just a shout out to another channel. guys pretty funny by the looks of it
Comfort is sometimes more important than speed.
Hey RJ did you ever get around to testing the 701? and what do you think of the new design for the 2016 MSX
+Jak Pls Getting one for a 2 week test end of next week, watch this space. I really like the 2016 MSX.
Hahaha that was me on the first part of the video!😂 yes I was going to say that!!
@RoyalJordanian, i would advice you to buy some super hydrophobic spray for your gopro lens, that way you can record rainy days better because no water drops would disturb your view
4:52 Why do you need to wait so long on this road?
that learner still has a lot to learn xD
It must really suck to need an ambulance in London. Good god.
You ride the grom on the rain because if it fell is cheaper to repair, or is just random ?
No way, London trees already have leaves? Also, for a future Questions video, what rain gear are you using? Do you do your own bike maintenance?
I am seriously considering about getting a Aprilia Dorsoduro :)
I think if I was driving that ambulance I'd be cursing a biker that dodged past me. Those guys have a most important job to do and they are trying to do it safely and quickly. Having to worry about traffic coming up behind and passing while they are trying to thread traffic themselves is not very respectful. In fact in my country it is illegal.
What exhaust do you have on the MSX? Sounds really good.
What does that L mean on the bike at 9:35?
hey those metzeler feelfree wintec you put on the grom how good are they in cold rain, snow and melting snow conditions getting a 2016 msx/grom soon for all year commuting
btw love that bike collection
+kennet knudsen They are very good as they are rated W+S
+RoyalJordanian thanks migth order some to have the dealer replace the stockers when they take the grom out of the crate
Oua sa fait bizarre la circulation de gauche à droite gg la vidéo ❤️✌V
Et oui c'est ça l'Angleterre 😍🔥
hello RJ, hope you're well, I'm curious as to what satellite navigation you use for your bike? I'm looking to buy one.
7:15 The Mighty Hand of RJ fix the viev ;) Thanks RJ.
I've never been to London, but I'm almost positive I could draw a map at this point.
those cycling helm mirror is nice for touring, but i wouldnt use it in the city
Hey RJ are the grom tires good in wet weather?
The ambulance may have had someone in critical condition in the back who needed to be kept as still/calm as possible, hence the driver taking it easy.
Your videos are great !! you used enough in this KTM ajajajaj ! Cheers
did you ride the grom in rain bc its way cheaper if you would drop it or just
coincidence?
13:35 = Frogeye Sprite
13:40 = Citroen Mehari
Now you know... :p
Vtwin all the way dude ;D
No inline 3 is better to bad he doesn't have one
+AROMAKON he has the bmw s1000 r (in-line 4)
was talking about how inline 3's are better
Hey RJ, I wanted to ask a few things.
Do you use your camera for security purposes too, outside of RUclips?
And, Do you have your camera on at all times or just when you chose to? :)
What's the red bike during the second ambulance bit?
What is your opinion about the BMW R Nine T? Thank you in advance.
Apparently emergency services in your area should be riding Grom 125's. Grom 125's save lives~! lol
Good morning R.J.
That was a Good one R.J.
What is that L sign under the mineralogic plate of these scooters ?
For learners
+luke marshall Ok ty :D
keep up the great work!
2:57 LOL I do the same thing all the time...
ironic rebond va apprécié c est un motosvogler qie j apprecie et suis. belle prestation video rj ride safe peace
+Sylvain Chable Merci!!
Maybe they should put paramedics on motorcycles in London?!
+RoyalJordanian So... moral of the story if you need a trip to the hospital in England don't call the Ambulance call RJ he will get you there faster!!!
I love MSX :-)
Royal is observations just driving around
