Howler Sirens

While I think the idea of the new “Howler” sirens on emergency vehicles is a good idea, I can’t help but think they won’t actually work to get people out of the way.

After all, if someone is so much of a cock on the roads that a) they can’t hear sirens because their music is too loud and b) not looking  in their mirrors, then they’re not going to notice and shift if they feel the car vibrating. In fact, if the music is that loud inside the car, the odds are that the bloody car will be vibrating already.

And if the driver is that much of a cock and they do feel their car vibrating, I’m pretty sure they’re actually more likely to panic, wonder what’s wrong with the car, and probably stall it right in the way of the emergency vehicles.

So it’s a nice idea, but I suspect it’ll fail against the wall of human nature.
