Police totally in the wrong . If the car had gone through the red light he would be committing an offence and risk putting himself in danger by emerging onto the other road .
@@aleloAT in England you'd could get a fine and 3 points on your licence, 12 points is disqualification mostly. Unless you're directed to by a Policeman in uniform it's illegal.
It's because of people like this that police response time is increasing. The proof of why they are late is literally in this video. And it's becoming more of a problem all across Europe since we give everybody a license nowadays, how mentally challenged they may be.
Exactly!!! I saw one drive up my 20 mph road doing at least 60. At the time, lots of children would be out playing and I thought, why? Why do you have to endanger all those around you? What’s so important that it couldn’t wait 30 more seconds? They drove past 7 t junctions and numerous children out playing at such a speed that they definitely would have killed somebody had they pulled out or stepped out!
@@coolcat6103 When responding to a burglary, assault or murder in progress than yes, 30 seconds makes a huge difference. Dumb comment, stop defending criminals by being a cophater.
0:31 the responder was late cancelling the tones but did eventually just to reactivate them ten seconds later at 0:41 defeating the whole point in cancelling the tones in the first place, no driver is exempt from running reds, what the officer should have done is continued ahead then turned right and gone on his way much faster, what the police and courts think are two different things, police think you should move for them regardless where as the courts say you shouldn't run reds or enter bus lanes etc for them and will prosecute you for it, my advice would be to pass this footage on so the officer can be given words of advice and is told not to try and force drivers to commit offences. I know people will say "if this was your family bla bla" the responder even if it was a ambulance could have continued ahead and cut right instead they went behind the white car which clearly had no where to go so that's on them, they created the situation by not thinking ahead which is apart of blue light driving, uniformed officers can take control of traffic and direct vehicles but they have to be out the vehicle and in uniform which this officer was sat in his car with no way of judging risk or directing traffic if needed making it dangerous neither did he give any instructions to the driver in front.
If I knew they wouldn't just Karen on me the very second some minor rule was broken, I'd find a safe way to get out of their way. As it stands though...
Bullshit, a warranted officer can push you through an ATS at red. They are the only service that are allowed to do so, fire brigade and ambulance service can not.
Driver was correct. I got a fine for being in a bus lane because I moved over and went behind a bus to let a couple of fire engines go past. Only move out the way or pull over when it’s safe and legal to do so.
The whole bus lane fine for getting out of the way is just ridiculous. There's unsafe, then there's breaking some bureaucratic rule someone put in place for when everything is "normal"...
This is on the police though. Drivers are not allowed to go through a red light even if an emergency vehicle is behind them trying to get through. What the cop car should have done instead is take the lane to the left (Where there were no cars as the lights were green) and simply turn right through the turning lane or whatever that lane is and pass the traffic lights like that.
Yes they could’ve reversed back there was plenty of room in front of the bike or they could’ve mounted either one of the kerbs they weren’t particularly high It just seems like they were expecting the driver in front to wave his magic wand and make his own car vanish Shows the intelligence of some of today’s cops
Rule 219 of The Highway Code states: 'You should look and listen for ambulances, fire engines, police, doctors or other emergency vehicles using flashing blue, red or green lights and sirens or flashing headlights, or Highways Agency Traffic Officer and Incident Support vehicles using flashing amber lights. When one approaches do not panic. Consider the route of such a vehicle and take appropriate action to let it pass, while complying with all traffic signs. If necessary, pull to the side of the road and stop, but try to avoid stopping before the brow of a hill, a bend or narrow section of road. Do not endanger yourself, other road users or pedestrians and avoid mounting the kerb. Do not brake harshly on approach to a junction or roundabout, as a following vehicle may not have the same view as you.' Therefore, as outlined above, if there is an emergency vehicle behind you with its emergency warning signals on, it might be possible for you to manoeuvre out of the way to allow it through. Ideally this should be to the side of the road without encroaching into the main area of the junction (see below). It should only be done when it is safe to do so without putting yourself or other members of the public in danger and it should only be done slowly and carefully. If you do cross the stop line at the junction whilst the lights are on red, you will commit the offence of contravening a red traffic light. It's important to remember that in committing the offence (crossing the stop line) the onus will be on you to provide evidence that you did so to allow an emergency vehicle through. That may be considered as mitigation, but there is no guarantee that it will be. If the police decide to prosecute you for the offence and you choose to challenge that decision, it will ultimately be a matter for a court to decide.
Spoiler: in pretty much all cases of prosecution due to causing a traffic offence whilst allowing an emergency vehicle to pass, end up with the driver being convicted.
Nobody ever got done for NOT running a red light in this country. Their own advice tells drivers to do EXACTLY what this car did. The sirens don't suspend the rest of the rules.
Imagine being trusted the uphold the law but not knowing basic road rules. Trying to encourage or force another road user to break road laws is illegal, even if it's the police doing it.
In South Wales, the cops use only their lights without sirens just to cut through traffic and not wait like everybody else. They stop for red lights, slow down for speed cameras but they don’t care about abusing their positions.
uk road laws, police cannot force you to go through a red light, if there is space to move then move to the side, besides that ... we cannot go through a red, even if it is an emergency service ( i shit you not, you can get done for doing it)
The police car could and should be reported. They have no right to encourage a vehicle to break the rules of the road even if they are on an emergency. Furthermore they are not allowed to mount the pavement that way either. Just goes to show that you don't know the law either as you're making fun of the driver!
well hopefully it's not your family member in an emergency needing emergency intervention while a first responder is being blocked in a situation that could safely and easily be avoided.
Rules of the road, the police even publicly announce that emergency vehicles should not be 'bullying' other road users through red lights and to commit a road traffic offence, unless the officer has instructed the driver to do so.

Motorcyclist spotted the blue light and pulled over before he became part of the problem. White car apparently didn’t see blue light until he was stopped at the lights. So while anticipation would have been helpful, once in this position white car was right to wait until he had a green light.

If the Police officers were in uniform, one of them could have exited and directed the front vehicle through the RTL,otherwise 100% correct by the car driver ,not to cross the line, imagine if a car had timed it slightly too late coming the other way and a crash ensued, the police car would have had to wait there. Having said that, there should be some protection in law for vehicles that cross the line on a RTL to allow emergency vehicles a free passage
The fact that it's illegal to move out of the way, by crossing the line at a red light, or for the officers to mount the pavement, makes me sick to my stomach. I hope that's changed soon! What's wrong with you? 😪
Must not've been a very big emergency. The cop could have very easily driven over the curb there if he needed to. I'm also confused why a London cop is driving a German car.

I believe you can go through a red light, safely, if you are letting an emergency vehicle past, however I am not sure if not going through red constitutes obstruction…. I‘d imagine if you blocked them normally it would be a problem, but here you can‘t expect someone to put themselves potentially at risk by going thru red. Just a thought
Nope going through the red light commits a traffic offence only emergency vehicle's can and in our city they turn off the siren's until the light changes amber to green and then you must move to allow the emergency vehicle past even police road safety websites will answer on this
In Europe, you give a space to pass doesn't matter what kind of light you see. Because already everyone see and knows that emergency services is going through the crossing. Also, cameras have the footage proof.
