She went around me all right - and the fire truck hit her bumper and sent her flying into the ditch.
If you aren't paying attention enough so that you can't see a fucking big ass red fire truck with it's lights on coming behind you... You shouldn't be driving.
I bet you she sued the city too.
And that's why they have sirens.

so all the people driving are idiots except you and firefighters, got it.
the odd thing about your post is that this thread was never about *why they have sirens* this is about adopting a siren/horn system. seems weird that one of the few non-idiots would miss that key component of this thread.
nevertheless, people (non-fighters by your definition) are smart enough to understand traffic lights, certainly they could understand a similar simple system for sirens and horns.
i'm all ears if anyone has any reasons for why such a system could not work..
