@@michaelhawthorne8696 no honestly Im a law abiding citizen just think the police do wonders especially motorway patrol. They've helped me out many times
That was my first thought too, but I quickly found out that it's just a way to form a temporarely road block. The debris was removed and traffic continued quickly afterward, so it was well and efficient done!
Last year not far from me home on the M6 I was travelling in the middle lane when I noticed the cars in front braking and swerving the it was an arm Chair in the middle of my lane luckily the car on my inside let me back into the inside lane further down on the hard shoulder was stop a flat back truck wondering what to do . This year this Section of the M6 is being turned into a smart motorway
Excellent work. Although funny that the one police officer got out, so far away, to walk and then had to run because the other guy just drove up to it anyway
I initially thought the same but if you check again there were 2 bits of debris, they stopped at the first smaller piece. Passenger got out and threw it to the side, driver then drove to the second, bigger piece 👍🏻
It’s called a rolling road closure and is now used a lot. Why, because closing a road you have to give weeks of notice, the only time this is not the case is to investigate a fatal or serious collision.
There's two pieces of debris. They stopped by the first one, the passenger picked it up then walked to the next one, while the police car continued to stop traffic.
Andrew Farrow Do you know the meaning of the words "not particularly funny"? In future, just to clarify your comments, you may wish to try adding some kind of emoticon. Just so we can pretend we are laughing. 😉
Shame about forgetting to spoof your IP and secure your router before insulting my auntie who composed and performed that music on her Tekniks organ!!!
it's for clarity. UK police cars (and most other emergency vehicles) have flashing blue and white lights at the front and flashing blue and red lights at the back. they never have red lights at the front like american cars.
UK Police used to have blue and red lights, around the 80's/90's if my memory is right, then they changed to all blue. Not all of them did though, all I remember is it's when the cars had the red stripe across the side of the car. I used to love seeing them with the lights going when I was little. And these days, traffic police use red lights on the cars for cautions as far as I know, I could be wrong though.
@@Jadeykins83 Slightly wrong, they were all blue then changed from mid 90's gradually adding whites at the front and reds at the rear. Your correct regarding use of reds for cautionary means. While dealing with a driver/persons on the hard shoulder of any motorway, they turn off the blues but keep the reds on alerting approaching drivers of there presence but when dealing with an RTC, it's all lights on.
Most British police cars have all blue lights, the reason they had red on here is because they were stopping, they are almost like an over exaggerated version of hazards lights, they would not have red lights on if they were in a response 1
Hey - this is a great video! I'm currently working for Purple Productions who're creating a series for Channel 5 about accidents, near misses and road crime in the UK caught on dash cams. If you own this footage we'd potentially be interested in using your footage! Please can you contact me to discuss? My email address is saved in my channel's description box under the "About" section. Thank you in advance, G.
