Qashqai driver at 5:32 takes the award for most situationally aware on this tape. Moves over well in advance, correct signal and just sits there. Wouldn't be surprised if he or she is already an blue light driver, but the response was spot-on. I wish all motorists were as switched-on as this, our ambulances, police cars and fire crew would get to scene much quicker.
1st clip is awesome, love the fiat vans at 5:29 and at 8:38 and the other times to, the rainbow came at the right time to show the love and support the NHS are giving us right now! sick one again - keep the good work up man
One thing that is shown on some of these clips is that some of the latest siren fits are almost inaudible inside a vehicle, not until the emergency vehicle is practically along you. In my home town of Bristol ambulances and older fire engines can be heard from a good distance, whilst police have to be on top of you to be heard.
That's why I love the nice big Federal-Q mechanical siren on the bumper of my Engine... :) It doesn't matter how sound-proof a vehicle is or how loud it's stereo is... the Q literally vibrates the teeth of the car's driver.
7:54 to date this premier hazard is the best siren I’ve heard in the UK to date. It reverberates in a way no other siren does, wide open or built up areas it’s so effective
3:00 I'm upset, why did they get a vehicle that is basically set up for Germany but imported to the UK? The lights are practically not seen, only the front with the lights of the grille and the dashboard and wing wang, transparent blue plastic across the entire width of the roof and then having two cemetery lights at the 4 corners, at this point they could put the Martin Tone and here you go
what's the big deal about it? The one at 9:30 is typical German as well, but is still used in some places in the UK. Seems a lot easier in the UK to purchase what they want to have, guess that's why there's a much wider range of car brands, models and conversion brands seen in the UK than you see in Germany
@@danielbooth2982 a rumbler, howler or hammer is basically a low frequency speaker for sirens, so there are whelen howler, feniex hammer, federal signal rumbler etc.
Each force used to have it's own livery, albeit mostly variations of a central horizontal stripe, with different forces using different colours for the fluorescent main stripe and reflective edging, some using all reflective (Durham), others with a central reflective stripe over the fluorescent as well as to the edge (Leicestershire, Met Police), some with additional reflective blue and white chequer along the bottom sill (S.Yorks) and others for quite a while retaining 70's style minimalist marking on non traffic cars (Devon & Cornwall). The late 90's saw a move to the current 'Battenburg' on Roads Policing Vehicles (initially voluntarily, West Yorkshire's Police Authority originally resisted it and only put rear chevron part of the livery on to save money and held out with the yellow 6" fluorescent stripe and 1" engineering grade blue reflective edging for a while, eventually it became national standard) with the 2000's seeing the development of 'half battenburg' which was slowly phased in across all marked vehicles.
Sounds like the police in the Need for Speed Most Wanted 2005 and carbon, if anyone here have played those. I have a clip here for reference ruclips.net/video/KVI1cstr8T4/видео.html
Perhaps the variety of warning is caused by us becoming so used to the current tones we become unresponsive. It's easy to introduce different tones electronically. I believe that certain police motorcycle groups use whistles to announce their presence. On a slightly lighter note, I've driven ambulances with two tone airhorns and a bell! ( yes, I am that old, so were the vehicles! ).
I read somewhere that NYC is looking into doing away with the rumbler. They did tests and discovered that it does not improve response time and also in an attempt to have less siren noise in the city.
@@justinglenn69 I think the US has gone too far with sirens so people just become immune to all the noise. With those fed Q sirens and massive air horns the public are more unresponsive then ever.
Can someone help me, I recently saw an SWP Peugeot 5008 and an SWP Skoda Superb. Just wondering what units they belong to. I think the 5008 was on loan.
@@dragonemergencyvideos cheers for that, how do you know these things? Also it’s odd that they use cars for driver training that aren’t actually used by the force. Surely it would be easier to train drivers on cars that they would be using day to day.
@@dj_james170 Got a mate down in driver training, seen them use them 2 cars. Yeah they've always used weird cars for training that are never actually used on the job 🤷♂️who knows why
Love the video! I don't suppose you have a green light gp out of hours car video do you? I can't seem to find one anywhere and would love to see the green lights going! Thanks again 🙂
If you are in Indonesian, it will be difficult to find a vehicle that willingly gives its way to priority vehicles such as the ambulance, because here if we give way to a passing ambulance, there must be many vehicles following behind the ambulance. and not to mention there are illegal ambulance escort motorbikes with an arrogant attitude and not full of calculations when stopping a speeding vehicle.
Good vid. But ticked off about the campervan driver, who clearly saw the medic coming but instead of pulling to the left before the roundabout I'm guessing, decided to ignore and carry on, selfish ....
I could be wrong, but because of it's age, markings and response kit (the siren is obviously not current) I suspect its a Service Loan Vehicle. Whenever any of our DCAs, RRVs or IRVs require a service or are off the road due to being in a prang, deep clean/decontamination or a mechanical fault we get a loaner from a central pool provided by Fleet Services. They tend to be older because they don't clock up as many miles, less wear and tear and they are obviously maintained to a very high standard, so they are retained on the books as they do the job perfectly well. It's in very good nick for an 2011, and must admit the old school tones did make me smile.
hi-lo is still sometimes used in the UK, but not as common as you might think. In fact only very few countries in Europe are either limited to the use of hi-lo or primarily use hi-lo; Most allow both wail/yelp and hi-lo to be used, while again some countries allow only wail/yelp sirens
Note: A lot of the clips included are older videos, and a few of the vehicles featured are no longer in service
Haha (no offense at all)*, DragonEmergencyClips gave his/her own comment a heart. 🙂
* I really mean no offense. I just thought it was funny and interesting.

They should invest in rumblers. Highly effective and does the same thing the Q does to keep the yanks happy ;)

Thanks mate! Appreciate it
What there kinda cool tho
@@TBVGAMING34 I know
4:25 super 👍
Wooooooooh i loved lound UK Germany USA sirens
I don’t know why they won’t implement them to us in North America

7:17 Sounds like the Whelen sirens they've used in the USA🇺🇲
I am so happy that the rumbler siren is being introduced to the UK.
Which one is that one may I ask? At what point in the video? I say because I know yelper and wailer but not rumbler sound.

Love thre Audis 🤩
what make/model of siren is that at start of second clip around 0:29? it sounds very much like the one dubbed into The Bill
Stirling SS2H4 - CoLP used it a lot on their cars. Stirling also made the "Met Sound" we all know and love.

6:11 I'm off topic from the video but that bus has the Peter Rabbit 2 movie advertised on it's side, I watched that one as wel as the original in 2018
Brilliant video, you need to frame that at 8:35 and send it to West Midlands Ambulance
Agreed. Brilliant shot and would look great either as a screensaver or printed, framed and hung in the break room or even in the bays.
That's not a bad idea 👍

Almost all the wail sirens sounded like a squeaky toy.

Ah! You came to wonderful Kent! :))
That was about 3 years ago, some old videos:)
Awesome video!👍

Sirens on some vehicles are getting ridiculously quiet but lighting generally is getting better.

Great video mate!!
Thanks for watching!
When did you catch the 11 plate Ford? That shouldn't be responding on blues
That was years ago
Nice video’s!

00:40 why does it say "ambiwlans" not "ambulance" on the rear bumper?
Welsh
Because it's in Wales. Welsh is the official language.
It is a Welsh ambulance
It is a Welsh ambulance
To many different sounds Leeds to CONFUSSION !!! Nothing better than TWO TONE Air Horns !
Of more than one vehicle is responding together in convoy it identifies this and people hear sounds differently to helps everyone be aware.

Dragon you are correct. American style
👍
Not only American sirens Canadian as well .. 🇨🇦👍
いろんな車種のパトカーがあって楽しいです。日本車があったので、嬉しいです❤️
The one at 1:06 isn’t weird they use those sirens or similar ones in America all the time
This isn't America tho 😂
Why do the siren speakers sound so weird, I know majority of those sirens are whelen but they sound different
I like how so many of them are different keeps it interesting 👍

Can record anything you like in a public place
7:15 - bit windy
The Fiats are the best looking vans. They just have a sleeker design. Like those coaches that have a dolphin looking front to them.
