The Special Escort Group[1] is interesting: they are highly skilled at moving the VIP with minimum of fuss and disruption, even using whistles rather than sirens to minimise the effect of their passage and only closing one junction at a time.
Possibly because the default reaction to a flashy and obnoxiously visible convoy in the UK might be an eye roll and "fuck's sake, get over yourself".
