      I love these videos.
      As a biker I love nipping through congested towns like there's no traffic jam.
      Just as much as I hate being stuck in traffic jams in my car!! LOL.
      Biking is such fun, and has been a constant source of the utmost feeling of pleasure and freedom for the last 43 accident free years.
      I feel sorry for younger generations who won't get to enjoy the same experience cos they all think petrol is causing Global-Warming, quietly ignoring the fact that it's actually been proven to be caused by the Earth moving slowly closer to the Sun! Doh!

    I see it a lot on these videos of different officials being escorted, the point in these escorts is not so they can just skip traffic. There is a very real threat to most of these officials lives. We are fortunate in the UK, as we have relatively small convoys, nothing like the presidential motorcade where they weld manholes shut and close off entire streets. The general public are only inconvenienced for less than a minute, sometimes only a few seconds. So rather than saying that they should just "sit in traffic like anyone else" and that "no-one is more important than anyone else" these aren't just some rich folks, they hold power and are a target for terrorists. Some of you really need to look at our world today. I do however agree with the point of greener vehicles that people make, they should be using green vehicles or electric vehicles.

    • @MatJonnet
      @MatJonnet 2 года назад +2

      Exactly. And the convoy should never stop as it’s harder to attack a moving vehicule, even if it’s slow. Sometimes these convoys slow down just waiting for the SEG bikes to clear traffic. And it’s true that in the UK you don’t have big convoys. Even the french president in Paris travels in a pretty big convoy.

    • @CPOK1980
      @CPOK1980 2 года назад +2

      Unfortunately for this kind of work, green vehicles are a bad option for now. The battery life is way too small for combat situations. ICE is still far superior in this fact. I would not be surprised if they had long range aftermarket tanks in them for that reason alone.

    • @daveshongkongchinachannel
      @daveshongkongchinachannel 2 года назад +3

      We are assuming greener vehicles are actually green but when you actually look into it, it's not that clear cut.
      As for the importance of these people, I used to watch with awe and admiration at our western civilisation. Sadly many of these so called leaders have caused more death and destruction in the last 2 years, locking up and muzzling their citizens and trying to force medical mandates, I can only feel sick seeing these people freely travelling around and being supported by a police force (although there are still many good individuals within its ranks) who are out of touch with society.

    The bikes would be far more conspicuous and safer if all the blue warning lights were the same size as the forward facing lights (they look like 3x2 LEDs) and all synchronised. Lights unsynchronised and flashing randomly make it harder for motorists to quickly track the bike's location and rate of change of position. This is particularly dangerous for bikes which are small and can move very quickly. The Brits need to re-think their warning lighting design (doesn't look designed at the moment, looks like an electrician just threw some lights at a bike and fixed them where they landed), but at least they don't confuse with multiple colours.
