I also wish there was a rule preventing the use of motor vehicle horns and emergency services siren sounds on any radio station. People are tired driving home and may react unpredictably in dense traffic to sirens and horns on the radio.
- runevault 7y agoEvery time I hear something that sounds like an emergency vehicle on the radio I think of this. Thankfully on my work commute I mostly listen to podcasts so rarely run into this on my roughest drive, but it's still a terrible idea.
- m463 7y agoI agree. Also, I think there should be a law regarding the new electronic billboards, especially at night. They should have a smooth transition over a period of say 10 seconds, instead of instantaneously changing / flashing and distracting drivers.
- kgwxd 7y agoThey should be outlawed completely.
- mwexler 7y agoSeconded a thousand times. After I hear one and calm down, I'm always running in my head how I'll explain to the cop that I ran off the road reacting to a siren letting me know that "prices just can't get any lower!".
- tiredwired 7y agoThe thing that startled me in the past was a woman screaming in a radio commercial. That was around Halloween though. I still had to look around and see if someone was in distress outside.
