Motorists have condemned the actions of a driver who tailgated behind an ambulance on an emergency call in order to avoid queuing traffic.

The young man can be heard laughing and singing in the video before shouting "let's go, come on" as he follows closely behind the ambulance, squeezing in between two lines of traffic.

Less than 24 hours later, another video emerged appearing to show the same driver tailgating a private ambulance, which was also working under blue flashing lights.

The second video, which is 27 seconds long, also shows the driver listening to loud music as he makes a manoeuvre into the middle of the carriageway to follow the emergency vehicle.

He also posted a screen shot from computer game Grand Theft Auto on social media, in which the game's character drives behind an ambulance to get throught traffic.

The driver does not speak during the second incident and the video ends as the ambulance makes a left turn into a side road.

The initial video, which was reportedly filmed on the A10 in Enfield, was posted to Twitter and has since been retweeted more than 12,000 times.

Dozens of people criticised his reckless driving.

Ted Welford ‏wrote on Twitter: "Absolute moron, I hope there is a way of tracing them."

While another Twitter user posted: "The stupidity of some people is unreal. This puts other people's lives in danger!"

A police officer tweeted to say: "I'll come round his house unpaid and nick him if you want. Be my pleasure."

And Ian Tetteh ‏wrote: "I hope you share the picture of the fine as well when it comes."

A London Ambulance Service spokesman said: "This could endanger other road users. Our crew are specifically trained to drive under blue light conditions and we would urge all Londoners to obey the road traffic laws."

Scotland Yard said officers were unaware of the incident.
