This is my reaction to Ambulance Emergency Response in Warsaw
In this video I react to footage of an ambulance responding to an incident in Warsaw and we see it crossing the city

Yes, it is a law that cars must give way (it is called "korytarz życia" - life corridor) to the emergency vehicles if they drive with their lights (and signal) on. Besides, it is just pure empathy: someone needs help.
There is a law.
@@jwojczulis That's what he said wtf
@@goozaro If you are driving in the left lane, you exit to the left, and if you are in the middle or right lane, you exit to the right - simle but not everyone can do it yet, especially UBER drivers in their old Toyotas, like in this video, have a problem with it.
That is not what the "life corridor" is. A much older law requires all vehicles to move out of the way when approached by an emergency vehicle using sirens. "Life corridor" is when the drivers move to the side pre-emptively on highways, even with no emergency vehicle present. There was a recent law passed that was supposed to force drivers to form these corridors, but it's an absolute hackjob and only requires drivers to move to the side of their lane (not road), despite even the police thinking it goes further. A petition was sent by a RUclipsr and, while it was accepted by the court of petitions, the Ministry of Transportation declined to take action, stating "they're only just started learning" (supposedly how to write law?).
Without adding new thread, if anyone needed source regarding "life corridor", Government guidance: www.gov.pl/web/gddkia/korytarz-zycia--prosta-zasada-ktora-ratuje-zycie and legal entry obligating road users (Article 9 in linked document - page 21, 22): isap.sejm.gov.pl/isap.nsf/download.xsp/WDU19970980602/U/D19970602Lj.pdf Need to create "life corridor" and way to create it are described by law, albeit term itself is not being used in the document. It does function as a common term.
Kierowcy karetek w polsce to są osoby , które mają umiejętności kierowców formuły 1, a nawet i lepsze , szacun dla was szanowni kierowcy 👍
My parents teached me (obvsly Im Polish) that if there is an emergency vehicle coming with sound signals and lights I have to give way even if it means that I will trash my rims or bumper, because we can replace those parts, but we cant replace a lost life.
This is the road law in Poland. But there is also a moral obligation above all else. When my children were still small, in similar situations I always explained to them that in the ambulance a person was fighting for his life and every second of delay could end his life.
precisely, this is how we raise the small ones. If they do not get spoiled later, they remember this for life.
Yes, similar to Germany, in Poland, there is a law that unequivocally requires yielding the right of way to emergency vehicles on the road.
Wszystko fajnie tylko to prawo mamy z 2 lata, większość ludzi jeszcze pamięta lekcje z ruchu drogowego i z robienia karty rowerowej, nie wiem kiedy przestało być wpajane uczniom że każda karetka każdy wóz strażacki trzeba puścić bo nigdy nie wiesz czy akurat nie jadą ratować (twojej, naszej) Mamy Babci .......

This monument is "Pomnik lotnika"(aviator monument) in Warsaw Wawelska street, corner Żwirki i Wigury. On August 28, 1932, pilot Franciszek Żwirko and designer Stanisław Wigura won the largest interwar sports aviation event in Berlin. Several days after this triumph, September 11, 1932 both died in a plane crash.
The frequency of sounds in the siren of an emergency vehicle usually depends on the place through which the vehicle is passing. On a long route where there is little traffic and few intersections, a long and clear sound signal is used - drivers will easily hear an emergency vehicle behind or next to them ever from the far distance (e.g. on a fairly empty highway, this signal is often even turned off). In traffic jams and at intersections, ambulances and other services turn on faster sirens because other vehicles might not have time to hear (due to the speed of passing through the intersection and by rapidly approaching the emergency vehicle) the siren, which is continuous and long. A short and very frequent sound is therefore more likely to be picked up by the ears of other drivers. I once learned about this from a firefighter in Poland. I hope this is understandable, great vid :D
Wow, thanks a lot! I have noticed different sounds of ambulances a long time ago, but I've kept forgetting to check what it means. Now it crossed my mind again, and here is the answer. Thank You again. :D
Believe it or not, he is cutting through the city centre (especially the Żwirki I Wigury-Filtry-Rondo Zawiszy-Rondo Daszyńskiego-Arkadia part - at one point he is less than 1 km from Warsaw Central Railway Station and about a mile from PKiN). It must be outside the rush hours, of course. The drivers' reactions are great - and the pedestrians run out of the road as fast. It is mostly like that in Warsaw :)
No właśnie. Ale dlaczego? Nie było bliżej karetki? czy jak?
@@LaOrajPantalonoj: może był potrzebny jakiś specjalista/jakiś sprzęt, którego nie ma na Banacha ani Hożej, a jest w Bielańskim.

There is Tram coverage in the most of bigger Polish cities, and when there is, it covers all of the main roads, and a lot of city budget would go to expand and build new stations further out the center of the city, as the cities grow.
What isn't covered by Tram lines, would be covered by Bus routes that even go out of the cities to the smaller towns around the area, all a part of city's public transport structure.
There are also 3 cities in Poland that have Trolleybuses that would use electrical lines but not the rails - they have Bus wheels.
Zawsze było to prawo zwyczajowe, dopiero jakus czas temu zapisano je formalnie. Można powiedzieć, że zwyczaj stał się prawem, zanim ktoś 2ymyslul nazwę " korytarz życia"
4:55 yes, this is the law in Poland that you have to yield to emergency vehicle (that has lights&sirens on), but honestly I don't know about anyone who got cited for not yielding. It's just engraved in our minds to just yeild to lights&sirens. You never know, maybe you just saved life by not being an asshole, and yielding is not gonna impact your travel time to be honest.

For potential foreigners.
Is this really the law? I thought people did it from the heart. So we differ from other nations in empathy, in a positive way. Before it was written down in law, there was reason and imagination.
We've done it before, we're doing it now and we will continue to do it. This is called Slavic sensitivity.
Dokładnie, tak było od kiedy pamiętam. Nikt nie musiał tego zapisywać ani nadawać temu nazwy, wystarczy rozum i serce.
I recently watched the reaction of an American RUclipsr (IWrocker) to another ambulance ride through Warsaw or Krakov. He was shocked when a shot from behind the driver's head appeared. The driver not only drives an ambulance, but also has a remote control to change the sirens, and the ambulance he was driving was equipped with a manual gearbox. In Poland, the vast majority of ambulances have a manual gearbox, but for an American it was a real shock.
The manual gearbox is more dynamic.
@@zuska85 Yes. I know. I prefer manual gearbox :)
@@zuska85 That's not the reason. Ambulances in poland have manual transmission beacuse of weight of the car. If ambulance have automatic transmisson it weights more than 3,5 t so you need type C license to drive it and most paramedics don't have that type of license.
Its weird why its so surprising tbh, manual gearbox is really easy to use if you drive for longer than a month. Also not only majority of ambulances in Poland have manual gearbox - same goes for cars
It's always really sweet when a Scot tries his sweetest and hardest to speak Polish, you're adorable.
Ochota district part
The recording begins on Wawelska Street near the Maria Skłodowska-Curie oncology hospital. Previously there was a radium institute in this building which Maria S-C founded, she was present at the start of construction (photos of this event can be seen in the park next to the hospital). Behind the Aviator Monument they turn into Raszyńska Street, pass the Ministry of the Environment, and drive past the Sue Ruder square surrounded by pre-war buildings. Beautiful pre-war villas can be found in this area. The street where the carriage drove against traffic goes along one of the Warsaw Filters branches, which is also a very interesting place for some. The ride against the current ends at Zawiszy Square, and behind it Ochota ends and Wola begins.
I'm a driver and I started to wonder. I think there is a law. On the other hand, I don't know how you can not pull over when another person's life is at risk. Like - it's probably obvious. There is no other option.
Zapraszamy do Polski :)
I don't know if it's the law but I always make space because it's the rule. There is a rule that far left line goes to the left and every lines on the right goes to the right. It's called Life Corridor.
The route is roughly the following: Wawelska with the Aviator Monument (perpendicular road leads to the airport), Raszynska, Towarowa, Okopowa, Jana Pawła, Popiełuszki, Słowackiego, Marymoncka.
3:33 yes, there is something called doppler's wave effect. Closer to traffic = more waves so people will hear an ambulance quicker, longer waves so people from further can localize the ambulance and eventualy give it a way
In our Polish priviliged cars honk is 'connected' with the sirens. Those cars have like 4-5 different siren sounds and almost each time driver presses honk it goes 'burp' and if it's long enough then after release the siren change in tone and modulation. And it goes in circle. Some times it just changes by it self over time.
Also we had some ads and anouncements about 'korytarz życia' (tunel of life) to move your car sideway on a highway if there was an naccident ahead.
Hope i helped a bit.
if thie signal is continuous you can get used to like when its coming you may think it was art of some music in radio but when its changing you re more alert to it
3:30 - it's because of Doppler effect. They switch frequency of alarms so other drives would easier identify direction from where ambulance is coming.
This is Warsaw, the route from ul. Wawelska in the "Ochota" district to the Bielański Hospital in Bielany, the "Żoliborz" district. Oh, they passed the Arkadia shopping center. P.S. I have lived in Warsaw since I was born (43 years) so I know it a little😅
Now is Westfield Arkadia

You forgot about the "Wola" district 😄
@@marmelada837 I'm sorry, they're passing through a part of Wola, my mistake, I didn't do it on purpose.👍😀
Yeah, it is a law now, but ppl always did it, even when it wasn't introduced by law.
Different sirens, bullhorns, and warblers have different reaches and distances that the sound frequencies can be heard. Add in "white noise" is the junction noise that attracts most drivers.
oglądając to mam wrażenie, że ludzie nie wiedzą podstawowych rzeczy. Takich na przykład jak to, że ambulans jedzie ratować życie, może nawet ich najbliższych
Korytarz życia 😊
This is our law in Poland and it is called the "corridor of life". I have the impression that it also works in other EU countries.
Ambualnce is going from center of the city to special type of hospital service, heading to Bielany Hospital. Driver"s skills are awesome and also drivers respect . Sounds is changing deped of trafic dencity. Glad to see my area I was used to live in and also good skills of team I used to work with almost two decades ago.
I think what makes the difference is that Poles are obliged to enroll in a professional driving course and this part is covered quite thoroughly. The general rule is: establish where the priviliged vehicle is (are you on a collision course at all?), choose your course of action (stop? speed up? move out of the way?); if you're on a collision course, move to the right unless you are in the left lane, in which case move to the left (on three or more lanes it's "left to the left, everyone else to the right"). And these rules are generally followed and respected, very few people get it wrong (mostly pedestrians do, as you could actually see in the vid).
The title of the video is stuff of nightmares though. I think your autotranslate may have kicked in and that's why it's so weird. "Alarmowo" would be the adverb od the word "alarm". "Do szpitala Bielańskiego" is simply "to the Bielanski (patron / street name) hospital". The second sentence transtales into "and police put on alarm / working in the alarmed state on route". I think what they meant is "with the sirens on". We don't normally see police cars simply escorting an ambulance, though, and you only see them a moment of the way, so I'm guessing it could be a coincidence.
I like watching those emergency videos because it helps me with honing my skills in GTA
I watch your films. I like them a lot. I look forward to each one to see Poland through your eyes. I just have one fundamental question. When are you planning to visit us? :D
the moment he drives oposite direction is like strict center of Warsaw
Trams are my favorite way of traveling through Warsaw. The newest Hyundai squads are awesome. Great public transport.
There is a low but its been talking that "imagine that this ambulance is going for someone from ur family" More powerful than any low or rules.
Alarmowo basically means Code 3 - lights and sirens. It originates from the word alarm (eng. alert).
And now imagine the driver (as I assume) is driving on the manual gear here. Not many (if any) ambulances in Warsaw have automatic transmission gears.
And I’m a bit surprised he is driving to the Bielany hospital from the center,as there was at least one other hospital on their way (for example it was closer to the Banacha Hospital) - but I guess they had a reason to go to Bielany anyway 🤷♂️
1/3 filmu to moja podróż z pracy do domu :c) z Okopowej, na Popiełuszki.
Short sirens are used at intersections and between buildings because their sound reflects better off buildings and is easier to hear. On straight streets, sirens with a long sound are used. If necessary, they use an additional sound horn like American firefighters.
the English have mastered the art of removing hot potatoes from the fire with other people's hands.That's why they praise Poland to the skies
The ambulance's destination was the bielański hospital. Respect to the drivers for getting out of the way, I've also done it a couple of times. Indeed most drivers in Warsaw do their best to help the ambulances get to their destination. The driver of the ambulance is just amazing, great skill.
6:35 It's North Downtown District, close to boundaries of placed more north Żoliborz District. 6:43 It Arcadia Mall Shopping Centre one the right, one of biggest in Warsaw
when we hear sirens we start to looking around to make te road as clear as possible
at the end of the video, that's a turn to the Bielański Hospital so that's why the video ended
specificly law says that cars on the left lane shoulg go left and every other as far as they can to the right
4:50 yes. There's a law deployed around 2017-2018 (corridor of life) but even earlier it was common behaviour among polish drivers which I am proudly since 1998 ;)
Drive covered a LOT of the city, basically cutting it through.almost entirely, though only one side of the Vistula river
Different sirens are heard from different distance if I'm correct and also police, ambulance, fire department have their own sirens
Those guys just know that one day they can be passenger there, and with our amazing healthcare one minute really does matter 😆
Why so far???? Why?? I can't believe there was no ambulance somewhere closer...
They were transporting patient from one hospital to another, not responding to accident
@@Cl0n3pl
that's what I thought - from Banacha to Bielański.
Different siren sounds works different in given environment and speed.
They were going to The Bielany Hospital.
This is north part of Warsaw - Żoliborz, Bielany. Actually, I live here in Bielany and this is my favourite part of Warsaw ;) We call Bielany "green lungs of Warsaw" so... in deed we have lots of trees here and... forest(yeah, forest) 😁 😅
I lived in Bielany for more than 30 years. Bielany are not “green lungs of Warsaw”, even though there is a forest there (Lasek Bielański). The name is reserved for Kampinoski National Park, which is located about 20 km from city center… and very close to Bielany. Size of “Kampins” is similar to whole Warsaw.
The name Bielany is from either "bielarnie/farbiarnie" - "bleachery/dye house", or from white cassocks of monks from monastery (in Lasek Bielański). Żoliborz as I recall, is from French and the meaning is "beautiful river bank".
Trams used to be more common some thirty years ago but some cities (like my own Gliwice) have terminated them while others kept the system along buses, often operated by the same companies.
He goes from Ponik Lotnika to Rondo Radosława (Arkadia shopping mall), Plac Grunwaldzki and it seems Żoliborz (part of the city ) and Bielany.
This is a law in Poland. You have to ALWAYS make space for an emergency vehicle on lights and signals (ambulances, police cars, fire fighters, live organ transport, blood transport etc), even if the vehicle has clear way, you always have to make more space, you don't know what kind of maneuver the driver has to make
The type of siren (the speed at which it howls) depends on the speed at which the vehicle is moving. If it did not change and was uniform, it could happen that the siren at a given speed would be inaudible. These are the basic laws of sound wave propagation. In Poland, they teach about it in schools in physics at the age of about 14. You probably had it in school too, but normal people quickly forget it because it is of little use in life.
W karetkach są różne zestawy sygnałów. Może być ciągle ten sam lub zmienny.
it is more impressive on other small cities. there are 3 types of beeping - there is double beep -beep..beep - triple beep.beep.beeep - and continous, double beeping is when there is a crosswalk where is green light for people that are passing, it informs that ambulance is close to it, or when ambulance is close to ANY crosswalk. triple beep is for cars to make corridor. continous beeping is when cars dont want to make life corridor. it is just information like: Guys fast!! make a corridor!!
Ok so i will write it in points:
1. trams covers most of biggest Polish cities.
2. Warsaw was mostly destroyed in WW2- so it was rebuilded with using bricks from other cities (like Wrocław)- because of that, and alike doinggs of football team- Legia Warszawa- almost nobody in Poland likes capital city (ofc expect from people in capital).
2.1 So Warsaw was rebuilded in comunism times- and they done it good (actually one thig that they did). They had good Urban planning- every part of city had own support- childergarten, school, pharmacy, some medic, shop, parking lot, mechanics, garages, park, some childs playgrounds etc. Nowadays its more like: place more houses on smaller place- best idea is 5 floor- because it has lower prices and law requirements.
3. I think it is law- that you should let pass emergency car (police, ampulance, firetruck- etc)- it is called "Pojazd uprzywilejowany"- "privileged vechicle"- everyone even trams shoul let it go in first place- it is even teached in driving schools- so everybody knows that.
We are taught to either mix up the siren tones to catch attention, or if traveling in multiple vehicle "parade", each vehicle uses a different tone to attempt to make drivers realize that there is more than one vehicle coming through. Some Emergency Vehicle Operations instructors will teach to use the "Wail" one the road, "Yelp" when approaching an intersection, and the "Pier" (Also called the "Phaser" depending on the manufacturer. Both are a "Hyper Yelp" or the "Hi Lo" tones if vehicles are not clearing the intersection. Most Countries have laws about pulling over and yielding to emergency vehicles. Some are more enforced than others. Here in most places in the US, it's a joke. I was attempting to travel a walking path to get to an active missing swimmer search and these two women just stayed right in the middle of the path like they were all that mattered even with a siren and real Air Horn blasting them and commands from the PA!!!
Paramedic driver must have a lot of driving expiriance.
In Poland there is a law that you have to give way but people are more willing to pull over an ambulance and fire department than the police
6:38 - street's name Okopowa, ambulance drive from south to north. This parto of Warsaw is called "Wola", but in video, ambulance drives thru couple of city districts.
Now it's a law In Poland, but just think as a human, if they're we're going to save you're kid that yust have accident an you just don't know about it jet, and some idiot block that ambulance 15 seconds too long? Just don't be that idiot as a driver they're going to save you're ass.
Yes, in Poland just as you said in Germany we have the so-called tunnel of life, where everyone is obliged to get off the road.
Aalarmowo - there is no such word in Polish but it's built on top of the word alarm using the rules of the language so you would understand it as a place where alarms take place or a "city of alarms" or "center of alarms" or something like that.
As for the law, yeah, there is the law but in general people did let the ambulances go even before the law, although there was no way of enforcing it so they added the law.
As for why such a long route - it was a patient transfer from one hospital to another if I'm not mistaken.
As for where it took place, it starts at Ochota, near the "monument of a pilot" (it's in the center of a roundabout and one of the roads going away from the roundabout is named Żwirki Wigury and Żwirko and Wigura were Polish aeroplane pioneers and this road goes straight to the Szopin's Airport). Then it goes through the city center all the way to (i think) Bielany which is a district in the northern part of the city.
Half of the route in this video actually covers most of my way to work :)
As for sirens, emergency vehicles have few different sirens at their disposal and they use those depending on the situation. If the vehicle is just cruising it uses the slow siren, when it approaches congested areas then it switches to this more urgent siren and when it wants to pressure other members of the traffic then it uses it's horn.
There are a lot of trams in Warszawa. They cover most of the city. Only the most external parts of the city aren't connected with a tram route although some of them are and others will be connected in the future.
Warszawa has one of the most extensive public transport networks in the world. There is metro, tramways, buses and they cover the whole city and also some of the suburbs. They have quite frequent courses but of course in the peak hours there is never enough of them and there are many conflicts between different visions of how the city transit should be organized. There are a lot of cars in Warszawa and they cover about 40% of the total human traffic, 60% is covered by the public transport. The city is trying to move people from cars to buses but it obviously meets an opposition from car owners. The city also invests quite heavily into the bike traffic, although during the winter and autumn there is hardly anyone using a bike as a means of transport.
In my particular case for me in order to get to work I need either 1h of walking, 40 minutes of public transport mixed with walking, 12 minutes by car or 25 minutes of casual bike riding. Those numbers will differ greatly depending on where you live and where you need to go. For me the car is the fastest but I rarely take it as there's nowhere to park and additionally public parking is quite expensive. I usually go on the bike, go on foot or take the public transport.
@@zbyszanna Also trains. Trains are the main way suburbian citizens are getting into the city centre "fast". For example, the SKM S1 train goes from the very edge of Warsaw (Falenica) to Śródmieście in 30 min, which is probably faster than the same distance in the car (though of course getting to the actual destination takes longer, since you usually need to switch transport). It's connected to the subway, trains, and buses of course.
Alarmowo is used to describe a responding emergency vehicle
@@unmanned_systemif it is, it's a slang, personally I've never heard this usagev before and the official Polish dictionary doesn't give this meaning
Cool video! I think it may have been a rather small ambulance transporting blood or organs for transplantation, as it seems that the route was a bit too long for a regular ambulance. The route started in Ochota, then a small part passed through the outskirts of the Center, then Wola and then a large part of Żoliborz. Cheers!
short beeping signal is for crossing through the crossroads and long one is for the straight lane foreward
No i akurat dzisiaj w Warszawie powazny wypadek z udzialem karetki. Trafiles z premiera, nie ma co...
Warsaw has one of the best if not the best in Europe public transportation system, you can get everywhere within the city premise. And its also very safe to use (unlike the ones in France or Great Britain for instance).
I love Warsaw. Yes, it had good public transit. But best in Europe? Come on, that’s simply not true. Getting around Paris or London on the metro or tube is way faster than getting around most parts of warsaw. The electric buses in Warsaw are great. The trams are convenient, but going long distances by tram is not as fast as taking a subway in London or Paris.
Having said that, Warsaw is way cleaner than Paris, and I would say that there’s greater civility in Warsaw. I have lived in London, but I would rather live in Warsaw.
The Warsaw system is far more dense and frequent than what I saw in Paris, and covers tightly even more remote neighbourhoods. Even if you live in the suburbs, you have a bus stop at most in 5 min walk distance with multiple rides every hour all through the day, and bus every 15 min or less in rush hours (5 min if closer to the city center). Even at night you have special night buses that cover all the city.
That's way more inclusive than what you might find in Western European cities.
I am not saying this is the best one, Prague has an excellent pub transport network as well, but for sure it's top quality.
No...go to Vienna and you'll see what is public transport.
Normal thing in Poland even if there was no such a law people would do it anyways.
Unfortunately, some people in Poland do not understand that emergency vehicles should have a clear passage and they only think about themselves, sometimes blocking traffic due to their own stupidity.
It's not in the city center at all. Yes, the public transport in Warsaw is amazing. Including the tram, bus, metro and even train service. Have you ever been here? If you haven't, the best time to come is late spring or early autumn.
There is a belief that such regulations exist, but the regulations only speak of "the obligation to facilitate the passage of a vehicle driving on a signal".At the same time, you can't break the rules yourself, so every "Life corridor" in this video wasn't legal. Admittedly, no one punishes for it, so that's how it works
The "K" is a gas station named "Circle K". And its super difficult to drive there especially near 15:00. Then there are many traffics. So I'm impressed.
To naprawdę prawo? Ja myślałam, że ludzie robią to z pobudki serca. Czyli jednak różnimy się od innych nacji w kwestii empatii, na plus. Zanim powstało prawo istniał rozsądek i wyobraźnia.
I'm pretty sure that its standard for all EU countries.
They use rapid signal when approaching traffic, traffic lights or junction and the slow one when just driving without obstacles.
I drive in poland ambulance for while years ago. Quicker sound is when you approach traffic. When you see block you horn that funny sound
@2:50 the ambulance is passing Plac Zawiszy, where I work. It’s indeed a busy and difficult part of the route and most of the ambulance drivers are trying to omit the traffic by going the opposite direction. To be honest those sirens are heard all the time there and it is sometimes really anoying.
Pewnie nie byłoby takich problemów przy większej liczbie helikopterów.
7:13, roundabout with a big flag is near Powązki cemetery: 52.25487232922231, 20.98223112586527 They are driving Wawelska, Raszyńska, Towarowa, Okopowa Street, from the south - so stright through the city center
I believe these changing signals in emergency vehicles were implemented to help people notice them, as when you hear one sound (or one sound pattern) over and over, you tend to gradually stop noticing it. Circulating or random pattern of few signals reduces the chance of this to happen
yes mate, its called a life corridor :). cirkle K is a petrol station :)
1. There is a law that oblige drivers to give way to emergency vehicles. 2. He was driving right next to my home. 3. There is a dense tram system in Warsaw. 4. At the end the two ambulances at turning into a driveway of Bielanski Hospital.
Ambulace moves from Ochota District, through Srodmiescie District (Center) to Zoliborz District (In the end part of movie we can see Bielany, which is part of Zoliborz District) . Wow its a quite long way ! Maybe other resuce teams were also buisy. yes, we have to move away and people are very sensible, respectful and responsible Its saving Life situation. It could be for you, you family or anybody els who is in need. Different siren sounds, because people, citizens on the street can „be used to the one type of sound”, because one type of sound could be monotonous. Different, changing, higher/lower, „one more dense, later less dence sound” will be helpful to make people alert, to notice ambulance fast, respond fast. Welcome to Warsaw, Poland. Welcome to the Heart of Europe. Thank You for Your movies.
As polish native speaker I love when someone who had no experience with polish tries to speak in it
After altering (or adding) specific law, emergency vehicles (police, firefighters and ambulance) can use destructive force (ram vehicle or destroy a fence) if it's needed to stop dangerous car (for example very drunk driver) or make a way to emergency if normal way is blocked (by a tree). If there's a culprit, he'll be obliged to cover the costs of repairing the emergency vehicle later
Nice reaction, thanks! You seem very interested in the topic :-)
Well done Warsaw well done !!! Specially driver !!!
answering your question; yes, poland has really wide tram line covering, in the bigger cities ofc
As far as i know if you don’t let the ambulance pass they give the recording of the incident to the police and they take care of you.
When you were reading title of that video you sounded like Czech😂
This looks better in other cities in Poland. In Warsaw, they're always late and can't drive.
Why are you surprised. It is the same in the UK and even more impressive considering how much congestion is there
Are you serious ? Tell all drivers in London to give way to an approaching ambulance. They do not know how to use indicators and you think they are looking in their mirrors ? Yes, they look in mirrors , do a make-up while stuck in traffic :) . BW in 2024 :)
@@delta110a London is not all UK, also look at the traffic in comparison. At the beggining of the video the single car took ages to change the lane even though the driver could hear and see in the mirror the approaching ambulance from the distance aproaching straight on.
Yes, thre is a low to give free passage to vehicles giving urgency signals

I must admit that it doesn't always look so perfect... Especially on intercity roads or highways. This is the rule, but unpleasant things happen
Alarmowo means emergency, and alarmowo policja na trasie przejazdu means police join to ambulance in emergency escorting
This is Sparta!!!
funniest thing of all is your artificial fascination with Poland and Poles who are fond of flattery.
