I'm a magnet!

It seems I've become an ambulance magnet of late, in the last few days. Today alone, I passed no less than 5 with blue lights & sirens, 8 in total, 3 battenburg police cars and another 4 marked police cars. Add that to the past few days of many more ambulance, police and fire tenders, and I've probably seen more emergency vehicles than I have done warm meals in the past week!

If you see it: REPORT IT!

I've said this on before and I'll say it again: don't be the person to pass by a fire or an injured person, thinking "someone else will sort it". If you see it: REPORT IT!

I've made a little video for it, I'd greatly appreciate people liking & sharing the video to try and spread the word & keep our communities safe!

Emergency Clips!

A total of 7 emergency clips for you today! Check the videos out below:

Recap: Edinburgh's Hogmanay Emergencies

After dropping my friend off in Edinburgh, I passed through the city centre and the aftermath of Edinburgh's new year celebrations. It normally takes me weeks to get the footage to make an Emergency Services in Scotland video, but on that night, I managed it in a little over 5 minutes!!!

Emergency Services in America - A series special edition

While I was on primarily on holiday in the US, I used my idle travelling time as a passenger to record some footage and take some pictures of the emergency and security services of the USA. So I bundled it all into one for an Emergency Series in Scotland special edition!

Emergency Services In Scotland - Missed videos

I've made two more episodes of my Emergency Services in Scotland series, one before my holiday and one after. Here they are:

Recap - Emergency Services in Scotland

I've not been out and about all that much lately, but I've been out enough to get a few good clips as part of my Emergency Services in Scotland series. There's clips involving the fire brigade, police, accidents and ambulances! Enjoy the 3 videos below:

More Emergency Videos!

I've added another couple of emergency videos on my channel, showing clips from the past few weeks, including my first ever clip of the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service in action. Although, it would have been nice to have gotten the clip without the fire tender almost running me off the road!

Here's the clips:

High Speed Ambulance Escorts

I've done a good few videos over the past while showing the police and ambulance services going about their work. While I have a great appreciation for the work they do, one of aspects I am particularly impressed by is ambulances on high priority responses, being escorted by the police.

These ambulance escorts require great care and implementation so the ambulance can reach it's destination safely, with the police going fast enough to get the ambulance there promptly, but not so fast that the police leave their ambulances behind! There's already an ambulance escort video on my youtube channel (http://youtu.be/IGVZOdVv3VA), but here's another two fantastic examples I've caught with my dash cam over the past few weeks:

More Emergency Videos

Another collection of ambulance and police clips from around Edinburgh and the Lothian and Borders.

Emergency Services in Scotland - Ambluances

It seems I have more of these clips than I originally anticipated! Another few clips of ambulances on emergency calls in and around Edinburgh. One of the videos is somewhat of a "special" of ambulances making their way through busy traffic. These clips show what can happen with savvy motorists on the road: all the drivers noticed the ambulances coming in good time and got out of their way in a very effective manner. It is a departure from some of the things I've seen on the road (sadly, not filmed) where people just do the complete wrong things when confronted with emergency vehicles.

In the coming weeks I will be doing a video on how to drive safely with emergency vehicles on the roads in the UK, and I have another video where I will analyse a certain incident I saw on the road. I hope you can tune in then, but for now, here's the videos from the week:

More dash cam videos!

More fun on the roads with the Police, ambulances and of course, the local wildlife!

Emergency videos

I have a dash cam on my car now, and I've decided to put on Youtube some clips of emergency vehicles at work around Scotland that I've captured driving around.

It's got me thinking alot about how I act around the emergency services and I'm going to make a Youtube video talking about my suggestions for dealing with the emergency services (stuff you won't see in the highway code, but probably should be there).

But for now, here's the videos:
