Its funny to watch how a people from USA are surprised by this. First its common sense and basic human decency to make space and let emergency vehicles pass cause you never know when you will be the one being transported. Second, its enforced by law, here in Poland its not just traffic violation to not let them pass, its considered a felony/crime, you will pay fine, in extreme cases you will loose your driving license for 12 months and you will have to pass driving license exam again and if your stubborness on the road will affect people lives(person transported will die or firefighter wont get to fire on time) then you will end in prison.

Every time I see emergency viechles here in Sweden, I get a profound feeling of gratitude to all the other drivers on the road; everyone is really doing everything they can to give way: up on curbs, sidewalks, running red lights (safely), etc., cleaning up the "mess" when there's no more sirens around.

@alexfoobarify Месяц назад

When they exit the tunnel and pass the truck that was in the way the driver says "Tacka! Tacka!" (roughly translated to "thank [him] thank [him]" which I guess is an instruction to the person in the passenger seat to thank the truck driver. Made me happy :)

@Jumbo_storm Месяц назад

As a Swede, I feel I need to correct you a little bit. He said "Tackar, tackar" which translates to "Thanks, thanks" in English. He did that to thank the truck driver because he folded his mirror in for them to give the ambulance that little more space, that mirrors take up.

Nice one! The electronic siren you hear first is the default Swedish siren, the loud one is added because it is much more clearly audible from afar. Really needed nowadays. Did you notice the amount of light coming from the front flashers, especially in the tunnel? Of course almost every car you see in Sweden is a Volvo. The factory is located in Gothenborg, Sweden.

@snpwr Месяц назад

Excact same siren sounds in Germany on fire trucks and ambulances. They are usually called "Stadthorn" (city horn - the electronic siren with a more 360 degree angle, but less sound pressure) and "Landhorn" (country road horn - pneumatic, much louder but with general angle focused maybe 90-120 degrees to the front, so drivers on inersections farther away, and/or going higher speeds are alerted much easier; high sound pressure).

@Dumlen Месяц назад

Yeah, the doppler effect works better with the secondary siren, which is based on the old Swedish sirens.

This is from the large road intersection "Gubbängs motet" (Macdonald place going north into Stockholm over one of its bridges and into the tunnels. This looks to be the middle of day traffic because it's really light. Had it been morning or afternoon it would have been choked. However there is a busslane going along the rout with the Macdonald that the ambulance most likely would have used.

@speedyjago Месяц назад

The first siren is an electronic "city" siren. Loud but not overly so. The second one is the "overland" siren, usually put out by two sets of two air horns, one set each for high and low tone. Those are very loud and worst case able to harm childrens ears. Until about a year ago my volunteer fire department only had the air horn siren on our trucks and at night with little to no traffic we would only turn the sirens on a bit before intersections in order to not disturb the sleeping inhabitants. This intensive care ambulance is as heavy as most regular fire engines in Switzerland. Regular ladder trucks at most volunteer departments are usually 16 tons. Just today I went on a drive with our rescue/pioneer truck (12 ton). We need to keep used to driving these trucks when usually all I drive is a Skoda station wagon if I'm not using public transit (train, bus, tram).

I recognized every bit of that road... Have driven that many times, and in some places it is very narrow and nowhere to go. I have actually seen a firetruck drive 20-30 km/h through a street smack full of people (pedestrians), everyone just moved away and let them pass, that was during a firework/waterfestival in Stockholm in late 1990ies. Sometimes people can cooperate...

@Sponge1310 Месяц назад

What’s critical is that drivers in traffic give other drivers the room to also get out of the way. You often see very differently, where traffic doesn’t cooperate and drivers block others causing the emergency vehicles not being able to pass as quite if at all..

Regards from Ireland.

@krisstopher8259 Месяц назад

yea it's a lot of adjustment (in 2 dimensions). the whole traffic is like a single organism

@Anson_AKB Месяц назад

lots of drivers stopped their cars at locations where there was no car on the opposite lane, so that the MCIU could "weave" through all available lanes. that is also the advantage if the traffic law dictates to *"enable passage to emergency vehicles"* instead of _"stop for emergency vehicles"._ as could be seen, making space was only possible by continueing to drive, creating gaps for other drivers to merge, or also driving over red lights. if all those cars would have stopped instead, they would completely have blocked many other drivers, and thus also the ambulance.

@dsludge8217 Месяц назад

Funny you noticed the flags on the Circle K station. Circle K established themselves in Sweden by buying the station network off of the Norwegian brand Statoil when they pulled out of the gas station business. Part of the Statoil branding was that the stations should have a row of flagpoles. Now, what's the lowest number of flagpoles that could be considered "a row"? That's right, many of the station featured a row of three flagpoles. The day of the handover, the STATOIL flags came down, and the K flags went up. After two weeks, the middle K flag was lowered, at first leaving an empty flagpole, later adorned with some advertisement flag... 😁

@@sihiri_kabari De säger så på körskola för att ha ett faktiskt tidsspan, 10sekunder är ofta överflödigt, andra gånger inte tillräckligt.

Något man med erfarenhet, och IQ över rumstemp, inser är otroligt viktigt. Kör själv lastbil, beroende vart jag kör och vad som sker framför mig kan det gå 30-40sec utan att jag kikar i speglen, oftast ser man i perifierin om det kommer ett fordon på endera sida fordonet (kör sällan släp, då kollar jag markant oftare) och då kollar man såklart - kommer inget så går det som sagt längre mellan att man kollar. Körvana och att veta vad man skall titta efter är inget man har när man övningskör, man är ju helt ny på det hela. Sen, skadar det att kolla var 10sec? Absolut inte, men det är ingen absolut hård regel man skall stressa över, ibland kräver ju faktiskt förhållanden i trafiken att man håller mer uppsikt framåt än "normalt".

Just as you saw, the emergency lights are all blue. Although, it is likely that they have some yellow strobes too.

So you clearly see the difference between if the cops behind you wants to overtake or stop you.

As I understand it, this veichle is a mobile intensive care ward rather than an ambulance. While the ambulance is staffed with paramedics who are first-responders, this veichle has doctors and nurses working on the patient while it is on the move. Sweden is a large but sparsely populated country. Fully capable hospitals are only present in the major cities and some specialist units may only be found in a single hospital in the whole country. Veichles like this make it possible to safely move critically ill patients from any place in the country to those specialist units. This is for when a 30 minute helicopter ride would be enough to kill a patient.

In Sweden you're taught to make space for the emergency vehicles such as ambulance, firefighters, police. If not then you might lose your licence for a few months and pay a fine. It's also allowed to drive past a red light if that's the only way you can make room for an emergency vehicle to pass. The only thing is that it needs to be the only thing you can do (think like one lane way with walls on the sides) and it needs to be done careful to not cause another accident with the traffic that has a green light.

The "loud" siren is a pneumatic air horn, while the "quite" one is electric. The constant loudness of a standard four horn Martin signal is 125 dB, which is louder than the peak loudness of a Federal Q2B, you should be more familiar with. That's why you often see people covering their ears when a fire engine or ambulance is driving by in countries that use German two-tone sirens.

in europe ull get fined if u prevent emergency vehicles to pass, so almost everyone learn how to do it fast and safely

@zylos9016 Месяц назад

Driving here (in Sweden, but Europe over all) is an expensive thing, not only do you spend between 1000-3000 euros on your license, if you wanna keep that, you need to stay out of trouble, as something "minor" in the US is considered a serious offense and will result in an automatic suspension or revokification of your license or even arrest. One example of this is running a red light, this would be considered a serious offense, which results in a fine and suspension of your driving privileges for 1-12 months.

You should look up Copenhagen Danmarks mobil unit, insane ambulance truck

@alwynemcintyre2184 Месяц назад

I think they would learn pretty quick in the US if there was a fine and loss of licence attached to not moving over

The second siren that is heard is used by fire trucks in Stockholm. That siren is very, very loud, I've seen people cover their ears when it comes.

This attitude is part of driving training in many European nations but NOT all. Think about it! Could be your family that needs help! Respect! Far too 13:10 little on the roads today. I think many drivers get their licence from a corn flakes box! When we have more vehicles on roads today. Allowing people to merge. And reporting bad driving is a must.

A translation of what they are saying after the second tunnel Driver: I don’t believe I can get through there so… College: It’s a bit too tight… maybe now? Driver: I f- don’t know, going to hit the pole College: He’s on his way up on the curve now, it’s room now (A direct translation he is saying it’s calm now = it’s room now) Driver: Exactly folded in the mirror to College: mmm Driver: Thanks thanks

@lordgandalf22 Месяц назад

the part the trucks where they just try to get as fast most of the time there isnt a ton of space but its more about not speed up fast or slow down fast its just keep moving anyway

@JohanHultin Месяц назад

"Figuring it out pretty fast" - Swedish drivers are sooooo much better educated than comparable drivers in the US, not saying we don't have shitheads, ofcourse we do, but when push comes to shove most CAN drive somewhat decently.

@thequ4lm69 Месяц назад

One decibel level for populated areas and a louder one to be heard when you are on higher speed roads to compensate since road noise in cars escalate the higher the speed you drive.

@francisbaker9366 Месяц назад

And switching off the siren when concentration is needed to pass where it's very tight

@matsv201 Месяц назад

There exist sort of 3 typers. One that is just transport for icu passagerare. Is bassically movable icu beds. Then its a emergancy responsen truck (this is probobly it) that is beasicallt one or two full service operation rooms. And the. Its also the emergnacy C&C that is basically more like a office. Those are often branded as Fire fighting in stead of ambulances.

At 4:29 was an Volvo V90. To me, at 11:00 seems an Porsche Panamera sw, not an SUV (Cayenne or Macan).

I hate emergency vehicles coming up behind me. Especially before when I used to drive SCANIA 18m bendy buses and had nowhere to hide 😂 I have also driven emergency vehicles for the commuter bus company before with sirens and blue lights helping drivers in distress and at traffic accidents. So I know the adrenaline you get from driving fast with sirens.

Impressive driving and good comments! Still waiting for you to react to some Chris Martin EMS stuff, imo the best emergency response driving in youtube.

@awmperry Месяц назад

Yes! His stuff is fascinating, particularly as he often annotates the videos to detail his choices.

@BerraLJ Месяц назад

I have driven this road many times, and yes my truck is smaller only 9.1m long, 2.6m wide and 3.2 high but seeing the emergency light coming from behind is stressful since if an ambulance you know it might be a matter of life and death and in some spots there is just no place to go, also in the tunnel with 2 lanes, had it been rush hour traffic both lanes might have cars standing still, would have made it way harder.

@anderssimu4303 Месяц назад

9:12, just before, in the tunnel, n the end of it (downtown Stockholm railway station, just before the tunnel ends there is an off-ramp, and just after it’s a double on-ramp. The truck driver in the white truck probably, take a bit of the on ramp to let the ambulance has a free pass. Great job. Specially then car drivers sneaks up on the right side ( blind spot) must pass the truck.
