Get the fuck out of the way.
lane splitting
I call that parting the sea!! I like to use the “Hi-Lo” tone when it’s bumper to bumper traffic. That tone seems to get them moving. The Q siren will part the way too and Grover horns!! ❤❤❤❤
Here in TN we call it "plowing the field"
the law was passed in 2001 and it's named Scott's Law after a fireman who was struck and killed during a response
Emergency lane.
Never seen this ever happen in America in my entire life.
emergency corridor would be the most fitting term for the "rettungsgasse", I think 🙂
In the UK and Ireland, the emergency services generally use the hard shoulder, if there is one. I can't think of a term used to get traffic to part under other circumstances.
As a German, living in the States since over 20 years….. I am totally impressed to see this kind of respond on a Highway in the US. How about using a word to word translation for this type of "response" to the siren from behind ? Rettung = Rescue, Gasse (which refers to a small, narrow street) = Alley. That would give you the word Rescuealley. Once it is "open", later following Police, Rescue vehicles or even Firefighters can get to the scene very quickly to safe lives or clear up the accident area very fast so traffic can flow pretty soon thereafter. This should be teached in High school already, since most of the young drivers don't have to go through a drivers school.
Maybe the emergency lane (shoulder) is made for a different reason in Minnesota. Much quicker response time if the officer just goes down the EMERGENCY lane.
Germans have to be taught this. Americans just figure it out.
'Murica
lol parting the seas would work well with your average american christian.
In NY it's said 95% of cars moved over. The other 5% were from MN.
Dont know why they dont just run down the right shoulder
Those who didn’t move I’d go back in the video to view the plate and give them to ticket!
You don't see Americans make way like this verry often. (Yes, I'm an American)
US term for this would be "parting the red sea"
I’m impressed that the drivers kept the way parted. I was expecting them to pull back to where they were as soon as the trooper passed
The emergency lane is formed in a very exemplary manner, especially in Austria. In Germany, unfortunately, it doesn't work so well yet, although the fines for disregarding them have already been increased significantly and road users are being made more aware than they were 5 years ago. At least in Germany and Austria, the emergency lane must be formed as soon as the traffic starts to jam, so that emergency vehicles can pass quickly and do not have to fight their way through.
"Form an emergency lane! Save lives!" is the motto that you should always keep in mind.
Use the shoulder
No they didn't they did a bad job of pulling over and stopping 4 the trooper
Parting the sea What we call it in the south
Have heard the term "emergency corridor"
I don't understand why there is no "rescue lane" in America. If everyone adheres to it, you save valuable time, which is important in the event of a serious accident. Here in Switzerland, but also in Germany and Austria, the "rescue lane" is a permanent topic. For this reason, it also works very well. Nevertheless, there are always situations in which no "rescue lane" was formed.
I call it the Parting of the Red Sea move lol. The German translates to Rescue Alley
Isn't it just called emergency parting traffic?
If you don’t show anything up close I’ll never watch your channel again after all it’s allnn be public information if wanted a person could get this info them selfves
No they didn't cars shouldn't yield 2 cops are all they can use the emergency lane as far as I care
I'd call this "lane splitting" as it's essentially the same thing bikers do, though in this case it's an emergency.
Emergency Corridor but parting the seas is good too. The problem with doing this in USA is drivers will not maintain such a corridor. They always fill back in.
!!! EVERYBODY ON THE RIGHT TURN RIGHT ON THE BREAKS EVERYBODY ON THE LEFT TURN LEFT AS FAR AS POSSIBLE!! So will the (Rettungsgasse|German word) , applied to us in Germany, but sometimes many don't stick to it and it's about life and death at this point in time! So use this and save lives with it!!!!!
I know they call it a “rescue lane”, but I call it “plowing the road” . Was interesting watching it work. Some people become so befuddled in a emergency driving situation it’s kind of pitiful.
Die Autofahrer scheinen wirklich etwas dumm zu sein.
God this is the most annoying video I've seen!! Wtf is wrong with ppl?? Get the fk over!! Why does he have to be on you're bumper for u to finally move!! Mindless zombies
