It remains fascinating to see how a well-oiled police action works. The traffic police of The Hague has shared a video of how a motorcycle escort works. The ride goes from The Hague to Schiphol and the motorcycle agents keep the road in front of and behind the VIP transport clear. For example, they must clear intersections and the left lane. In the video below you can see how that is done.
The motorcycle cops play a kind of leapfrog at the beginning of the video. One agent blocks the intersection to create a safe passage while the other agent drives past to the next intersection to block it. That’s how it goes back and forth. On the highway, the motorcyclists keep the ramps clear for quick passage.
In addition, the officers must clear the left lane of traffic. At 10:30 and 11:15 you can clearly see how some inattentive people are startled by the sirens and brake as the first reaction instead of shifting to the right. If only there was something on the inside of the car that you could see behind. The nice thing about such a motorcycle is that your hand gestures are clearly visible.
By the way, you have to pay close attention to see which cars they are accompanying exactly. The filming agent drives a lot forward. At the end, the armored cars with the VIPs come into view a bit. Motorcyclists also drive directly in front of the cars in which the important persons are driving.
