  • Welcome! Today, we join a French motorcyclist who stumbles on an ambulance struggling to get through traffic on the highway. The ambulance, responding to an emergency call, tries to navigate through heavy traffic but is held back by full lanes of cars and trucks. The motorcyclist decides to help and clear a path for the ambulance. Let’s see how he manages to do so.

      Indeed. Not sure how much this really even helped. Those car drivers are just idiots who are not observing their surrounding. Probably some of them just got pissed about the motorcyclist, who is passing them...while others were looking him dumb. I always move out of the way as much as possible.

    • @NightwishArena
      @NightwishArena Před 3 měsíci +70

      I have to add that last time this happened to me, there was two cars behind me, and I saw emergency lights way behind them. I put my hazard-lights on and moved to side, and both of these idiots just passed me. Then little later ambulance passed me, and I accelerated to it's tail. Then few hundred meters later, the ambulance was "stuck" behind those idiots, and they had no room to let it pass "on the fly", so it lost probably at least 10-15 seconds there. When this happens multiple times, they will lose minutes already. And even if it was just one second, that can sometimes be the one second which decides life or death.

      I think those that don't move within a reasonable time (few seconds, maybe 10 at most) should have their licence canceled for at least 1 year as well as a huge fine, then have to re-sit their licence test with emphasis on how to get out of the way of emergency vehicles before they are allowed back on the road with a probationary licence. After the first offence subsequent offences should double the time without a licence and double the fine (eg. 2 years, 4 years etc..)

    I'm an EMT/emergency vehicle driver and also a motorcyclist. Please DO NOT repeat this. Yes, it's frustrating when traffic doesn't yield to emergency vehicles. I've seen it all, from people who just freeze to people who flip me off and just keep driving infront of me. However, we have very specific training on how to drive in those situations as well as the equipment to have OUR vehicle seen and heard. The last thing we want is a wildcard flying around in traffic infront of us. Regardless of if his intentions were good, doing that is incredibly hazardous and not just to him. If he goes down, it's going to cause slow traffic to become a standstill, plus we might have to stop and render aid in the middle of an active highway instead of proceeding to the original call, which could cost us or the original patient a life. When we have the lights and siren on, just pull safely out of the way. That's literally the ONLY thing we want you to do.

The people who drive me literal nuts tho are the ones who blast their music So Loud that it sounds like they're speakers are gonna explode. Basically, as you indirectly mentioned: "Don't play your music so loud to the point you're unable to hear emergency vehicles." But also it should be a point to Pay Close Attention to your surroundings too b/c some people do ask for these emergency vehicles to *NOT* use their sirens so all they have is their flashing lights on over flashing lights + sirens.

I even saw a video here once. They are in pairs of even three bikes. They also clear and secure crossings and roundabouts. It was impressive to see.

    Note to highway planners. Simple LED signs or even flashers along frequently congested highways could warn drivers further up of approaching ambulances. They could be triggered by the ambulance dispatch if an ambulance is stuck behind traffic. Many don't hear the sirens or see ambulance lights until they are only a few vehicles behind. Often that's too late to find space to pull over.

      ​@@vancouverislandandthething3945the signage idea is great. Unfortunately, a lot of the times when it would be most useful, everyone is stuck in traffic already and there's literally no place to go. Some advance warning of an approaching ambulance could help by giving traffic some time to make the necessary adjustments to be able to clear a path for the ambulance. The issue of people not hearing the sirens until the ambulance is nearly on top of them is twofold. Cars are being built more and more soundproof and sirens have gotten weaker. Another possible solution to the issue would be to require all vehicles to be equipped with special microphones that listen solely for emergency vehicle sirens and activates an interior warning to the driver when it detects one.

    • @AllanHazen
      @AllanHazen Před měsícem +6

      @Hungry_God most ambulance services are separate from the hospitals as hospitals don't have the facilities to house and maintain ambulances anymore. I agree the cost would increase unless it was a service provided by the police department where they give a select few officers ambulance escort duty, at which point it would become a police expense and not a Healthcare expense. For that matter, someone could start a nonprofit organization and cover the ambulance escort cost. It all depends on how you go about it.

I am yet shocked and amazed that people do not pull over to the side of the road when a vehicle with lights and sirens is coming up on them. That was on thing we learned very well 50 years ago when I was in drivers training. If it has lights and/or a siren, you are to get off to the side of the road, NO QUESTIONS asked. I thought that was the law, I am not so sure of this anymore! Ignorant, self-righteous, arogant people that will not yield to emergency vehicles.
