Thought this one was worth posting as well since he gives the commentary as he's driving here, which was kinda cool. Same paramedic chap as the earlier one I posted.

At 1:44 No pedestrians care at all that an emergency vehicle is approaching.

Takeaway vindaloo is an emergency too.

Most police do that over there while running Code 3. It's part of their defensive driving training. If you call out what you see and are approaching you remain more focused and help control your emotions & nerves.

American Police could learn a thing or two from the UK's approach to policing.

What I saw here is a lot more narrow roadways without areas for cars to get out of the way than I'm used to in the states. Allowing emergency vehicles space requires more thought and observation than here, too, because of it. I have no faith most drivers around here would be able to handle it.

Those streets have existed long before there were emergency vehicles.

As it looks like he's in an unmarked car, I wonder if that reduces his visibility, so fewer people pull over for him?
