Emergency Siren Abuse
After hearing this a couple of times in the past few days, I was wondering if this happens in your communities.
If you are driving, you stop and veer off to make way for that ambulance with it's siren on.
If you are walking, you may curiously turn your head to see which way the fire truck alarm is coming from.
"That police car sounds like it has somewhere pressing to head off to!" you think, as you sit on the bus.
Well it turns out, that there is no emergency or pressing need. The people in those vehicles just wanted to abuse the "perk" and drive by in traffic with absolute dominance. They don't care that you might have made it on time with a minute to spare, or that your ears could do without the blaring of such decibels, they just wanted to get there faster. You hope this isn't the case and think the best, that is, until you notice that the siren is turned off right after they cross the light, and seconds later, you can hear it going back on for the next intersection.
What do you think of this, if it happens in your communities?
Jam it back in, in the dark.
