really boring video of UK Police riders

[bomma]

ok this is really boring, it's the London Metropolitan Police's SEG (Special Escort Group) who are the riders that escort the Royal family and the Prime Minister and foreign big knobs (such as George Bush) through the traffic nightmare that is London.

...looks boring and slow, but the way they work together to hold up traffic and keep the cavalcade moving is quite impressive.

Well, I found it interesting because we do a lot of this type of work over here. Not sure the threat level of that protectee, but it must've been fairly low. There was a lot of traffic around in close proximity to the package. We do lots of low, medium and high threat level packages. The low ones are the most fun because you really have to maneuver in and out of traffic more closely.

What I found interesting about the vid was the way they keep it all moving, albeit slowly, but moving all the time. In London traffic that is really quite impressive.
