999 response on motorway through a TPAC exercise.

Off on a 999 blue light response when I inadvertently joined the motorway at the same time as the Police were undertaking a TPAC exercise.
Got to see a small glimpse of these highly trained professional up close undertaking a very skilled manoeuvre.

The truck driver's vision at 05:06 is amazing!

05:07 more props needed to the lorry driver for flashing you through

You provided some valuable training to the cops, by adding a bit of unpredictability to their exercise. I am sure the coppers noted you had joined the motorway and warned all the other coppers involved and risk assessed your presence, warned the coppers performing the rolling road block that you were going to bust through, or they would have had a shock; however, I am positive that all the coppers were aware of your presence. I have to say you handled it very well.

I wonder what was thought and said by the coppers when you joined their merry band of chasers

Those praising the HGv at 5.07 also note the tipper at 0.46 who had stopped well in advance and left loads of room at the roundabout . Praise also to the TPAC team who recognised they were only on exercise and your need was real.

What timing! Also shows how fast they are - they were gone before you'd managed to leave the traffic!

[Rdrunner]

Fabulous drive and added excitement from the TPAC guys. Love the captions you've added.

My braking foot jerked at around 5:26 when I spotted the red van moving! Your calm was impressive!

I would love to see revs and speedometer on these vids.
Impressive stuff like always

Watching your brain running at +57%
And that car is a beast! love the growl and the slight "squat" when everything comes under load.

Calm, confident, excellent awareness and road positioning, a high speed run aided by the alertness and sense of other drivers (see the lorry flash its lights). And despite the pressure, the driver took the time to acknowledge those who eased his way, which will have lifted their respect for the emergency services. A real credit.

Respect fella. As someone who's hit the blue lights many times that's a great, safe and smooth drive, over a long period of time too. Great example of how to make progress safely.

[stuarthtodd]

That was something pretty special for all I think, some really good timing! As has been said, adding some invaluable help to the police in practice. But, I can also imagine those 'civilians' on the motorway in the lead up to the TPAC must've wondered what on earth was happening! Always a good watch.

I think this is an excellent video. Seeing the concentration on your face makes it abundantly clear how dangerous high speed driving is. I found your compliments of cars pulling over in a timely fashion very reassuring. Despite learning about what to do and indeed I would have done what most good examples did, there is always a certain amount of uncertainty that what we do is actually helping not hindering and most importantly, safe.

[rickettyross]

This gives a really good insight and helps us civilians to try and make it easier for you.

[daniel-vanackere]

Super respect to these emergency responders. Risking their own lives ta save others. Every day. His driving is very quick and safe but he is still at the mercy of other drivers.

[michaelmoran]

You are switched on! Cliché - You genuinely make this look easy! Flawless work. It's impossible to predict the public! There is a lot going on here. Predicting public, a lot of split second decision making, knowing your own vehicle, Road conditions, obstacles! On and on and on. You make it all flow. Great to watch.

[layeththesmacketh]

It's like a hazard perception test at full speed. You have to have serious driving skill and awareness to do this pretty much everyday. Respect.

[tonreitsma]

Great video again Chris! Watching it I almost lean over to the side to see what's coming up on the next bend 🙂

[noelfitzgerald]

Wow what a video. I could watch that 100 times. Expert driving and a gentleman as well. So appreciative to other drivers who notice him and kept out of the way.

Everyone mentioning the truck and how amazing he was at 5:06, I say the truck approached at 0:42 was equally as brilliant and stopped long before this car arrived to overtake it, all whilst leaving enough room to go round and enter roundabout. If you look in the mirror, the truck moved off again soon as over taken, how he saw that coming from so far behind i don't know but to leave and stop perfect, both trucks awesome
