It’s only like this in London though, elsewhere nearly all the emergency response vehicles are marked, as they should be. The only people taking an emergency vehicle home should be Police dog handlers, on call emergency responders should be in a marked pool car, not each having their own high end luxury car that’s had to be fitted up. These vehicles are like flats for politicians, every time a new person is elected as an MP, they all get a flat in London to keep after the tax payer has furnished, decorated & repaired it of course.
@@WhiskeyGulf71I have an unmarked car, for my role in the ambulance service. I own and pay for the car, just like any other car. I don’t take a marked car home for two reasons, I don’t live in London - so driving a London ambulance car to rural Surrey is a waste of money. Secondly, my car is my car. I go to Tesco, drop the kids off a school etc in the car. Doing that in fully marked ambulance car looks awful for public perception. Imagine me turning up to Tesco on a Tuesday afternoon, in a fully marked up London ambulance car (not in London) not in uniform, doing the weekly shop and then putting said weekly shop in to the car. Awful. This is why it’s unmarked. So I can still use MY car as a daily run around, but also be able to respond as needed.
Thanks a lot, that was really interesting! I lived in London 1965-67, and of course there were only Fords, Vauxhalls, Wolseleys, Jaguars, and perhaps one or two others. Its changed since then.

The variety of unmarked emergency vehicles in London is so cool. Nice compilation!
The most random compilation of cars, from a Tesla to a bloody Defender 😂
First car - I love a Whelen Alpha. Very uncommon to see them on newer vehicles these days!
6:26 definitely wasn't expecting a burgundy Rav4
‘Slick Tops’. Love that name. So cool 😎
The UK for my opinion has the best unmarked cars better than the US 😂😂😂😂😂😂
In many States definitely but not in all :)

This is why London has ULEZ ! It’s needed to finance all of these vehicles.
Ambulance and fire staff pay for their own vehicles

Great video mate
Nice one 👍🏻
Brilliant compilation. 5:25 What do you think the Mercedes van is used for?
Not Police.
Either surveillance or as a mass armed response vehicle.
@@zylos9016 thank you
The Defender 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Voor wie of wat moet alles in het verkeer wijken? Flauwekul.
Was that a Tesla Slick Top?
Wow that defender 👍
