CHP Motor Unit Conducting a Traffic Break 

Yep seems fun

Yeah it’s fun lol More fun in a motorbike

I love to see if he was doing some wheelies

Ben Dover is a clown 🤡

@@TheNIGERKILLER careful champ! Your insecurities are showing.

Arizona Highway Patrol(Azdps) do the same thing. It really helps keep traffic slowed

@@redheadeddude6863 but why

@@navyseal1689 Accidents up ahead usually, helps keep everyone safe

@@navyseal1689 Usually traffic breaks are done to bring traffic to a slow gradual stop to clear debris or an accident from the road. Sometimes a traffic break will be used to give construction crews ahead a window of time to do something.

@EVO can’t be scared bro most of the cams are just for traffic won’t give af about you getting off and getting back on.

Highly illegal

the UK police would like to introduce themselves

Lol it's their hid lights

Confiscated vehicles maybe

"In the UK we use them as vans" Jeremy Clarkson once said.

Not from CA, but have watched videos available - and was thinking the same - Never seen a video of a CHP Motor traffic break - Very cool!

My nephew lives his whole life in CA too and he is 10 years old!

When appropriate.

Next to SWAT, it's the hardest school to master. My father was a Las Vegas motor cop. A T. O. for the last seven. 250 cops would try out and 10 would make it. Most fail on slow maneuvering. Keeping a thousand pound bike up right is no easy feat at slow speeds. They have to stay under 5 mph doing very intricate maneuvers. There are some videos here that show the inter departments competition. Friggin acrobats. In the 80s he had a female partner for 5 years. Grace. 120 pounds soaking wet with her duty belt and could move that Harley like it weighed 10 pounds. Absolute professor on that bike. I run a STAR course one week a month at the DMV parking lot. The "friction zone ", using the clutch and throtel in unison under 5 mph takes a lot of time to learn. 3. In 10 pick it up quick, the rest at various levels. The course has 2 figure 8s going in both directions, two straight aways and four circles 10ft in diameter. If you go over 5mph or dump the bike you fail the test.

I watched a motorcycle cop doing the test that they have to pass during one of my Daytona Bike weeks. Pretty impressive.

Telephoto lens makes 300 into 30.

A punishment isn’t a lesson a simple warning would teach him if u really think people need to learn the law🤦🏾‍♂️😂

@@Keiran-qr2ty If people read the handbook and actually studied the test, they would know…. But since the dmv likes to give licenses away to degenerates, this is the problem we encounter on a daily basis. There are entirely too many dumb ignorant people who all think they are entitled… so you can’t really teach people anything when they don’t want to listen. Instead, they want to roll up their windows and tell the cops they don’t have to answer their questions, or provide any information. Complete waste of time, energy and air

The van driver probably never taken a driving test.

What is the purpose of this? What is it used for?

Jeremy Dewitte style?

@@AustinC79 don’t be fooled. this is dewitte on his alt account

Dewitte

SarGENT! SarGENT!

Yep the van driver especially....got mad watching it XD

And maybe a speeding ticket 🤔

@@alexanderhedglin337 Indeed, Ive found if you're respectful and don't pass them, then they tend to let you cruise ahead of the cars with them until they exit.

I doubt exceeding speed limit is required to pass him. I dont know what regulation may be, but if you dont hit him I dont think ir would be a violation to pass

Poor misunderstood Jeremy…… 😬👍

Not It's Stuck In My Head !!!

who was 1&2?

Traffic collision ahead.

I like them on BMWs or the Kawasakis they had few years ago.

Harleys = outdated, heavy, overpriced pieces of junk. No idea why anyone rides them. No idea why any police force would use them.

@@Jimmythefish577 you are a liar, full of shit

Hello 👋

well, in my experience, that doesn't stop a four wheeler. They drive over anything

No it was just the headlights. On camera it flicks.

Nope. Probably just a rich white guy not afraid of being shot for possible traffic violation

@@furniturecityfirebuff I know cameras do make them flick in some videos but that for a steady pattern

Whats the point of anything?

@@shaun9156 😂😂good point but what is a traffic break

@@damaribrackett1159 it's slow down traffic for short

Usually cause somebody further ahead is moving something off the roadway

smoothbrain

These breaks could happen at any time of the day. Also WB traffic on the 60 during the afternoon rush does not have traffic :)

In reality, this actually breaks up traffic jams. Traffic jams are caused by idiots not letting anyone else move. If you give some traffic a chance to move, traffic doesn't get as jammed up. Instead of 3000 vehicles sitting at a complete stop because nobody can move, 2500 cars are slowed to a crawl but are still moving. While the other 500 have a chance to move. It sucks to be stuck crawling along the freeway when you can see empty road in front, but it is better than sitting at a standstill with no empty road in sight.

Sometimes just to clear up traffic jams, sometimes to slow traffic before an accident or incident.

Damn it Jeremy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the purpose of this is slowing down the traffic flow because there is an accident ahead and will probably need a traffic deviation

And he's doing slow-speed traffic control on an 850-pound Harley. Now that's bike handling.

@@wisepanzer7265 oh ok

@@beanz4806 I get it now

Cool name and pfp! Thanks for watching and as the other stated before they do that to slow down traffic to a stop in order to remove a hazard or deal with a collision. In this case it was a towing company that needed space to hitch to a truck

Yep, temporarily

Does.*

Hey there! Thanks for watching, I will do my best to quickly explain it. “M” unit is a designated Motorcycle unit, they are more often referred to as “Mary” because it gets read out in phonetics. For callsigns, they differ based on what Area office and beat they work. For example: Baldwin Park is dubbed Area office “81,” so it will be 81-XXX. The last three digits is for the beat. So 81-601 would cover the SR60 Freeway. Then, when you add a letter at the end it makes it more specific, in the case of the Mary unit it’d be 81-601M. Lastly, if you’re looking for the full callsign, you would add the shift to the beginning. So if 81-601M is working the A shift, the final callsign would be A81-601M.

@@jeremyapps Hey! Thank you very much. Tho, what's the Callsigns for the LA Area? You Know that too or..? Tho much appriciated still!

They are really bad. The only way to keep the crazy drivers from making a small issue worse is by making them all come to a stop and let them go slowly behind the cop. Otherwise someone with a flat tire could be wiped out by 300 cars in a rush to get nowhere.

A tow company had to hook up a tractor-trailer rig (big truck) somewhere ahead of this traffic break. Rather than close the road so the tow truck can work without traffic flying by an officer creates a break in the traffic for the short period of time the tow company needs to get the truck hooked up. Sometimes they need more than one lane shut down to do this. Traffic breaks use fewer people to accomplish than a lane closure and less of a traffic jam as it avoids the lane merging lane closure require.

Buford T. Justice Apprehend that horse a$$ for reckless driving.

Who said this was for "releasing" traffic? Probably object on road, spike strip or what ever going on further down the highway...relax man.

@@oliverxvi4373 You are absolutely right. Traffic break made me think it was for traffic, to break. But you are right, there is multiple different scenarios.

@@coltoneatherly5897 ty bro sorry for my passive agression !!

@@oliverxvi4373 no worries fam

its does help alleviate traffic, it helps get rid of those so called ghost traffic spots.

the lights do not flash like that is the camera doing that

@@mikelsolomon3714 your wrong. why do u think that range rover is not waiting in line like the rest of them. yes led lights flicker ALL AT THE SAME TIME. they dont switch back and forth and FLicKr

@@Good_Luck11 it is was not waiting like the rest of them bcs it may have merge before the the police start doing that

@@mikelsolomon3714ok your right

the two lights are different, it's 99% most likely a visual artefact.
