if we had the funds we'd have gone for a patent. the one necessity is that the emergency vehicle needs to have the MIRT equipped for the sensor to workQuote:

You are speaking the truth. Too many people around here are oblivious to emergency vehicles. It's pretty disgusting.Quote:

i love it when i see a emergency vehicle behind me ( kinda far away ) ill pull over either onto a side street or off to the shoulder and its amazing how many people keep driving past ... f'in d'a$$
I read flashing lights and was thinking flashing headlights which means you are about to get shot around here.
Guess I'm not going to Dallas.

I can't tell you how many times I've had an F150 come flying up on me just to realize its not some dumb inbred hillbilly but an actual emer. truck. That and the 1 lane each way highways w/ a small gravel shoulder suck! I'm very aware of my surroundings but even that is a challenge. Hard to see a lightbar on top of a lifted truck when all I see is headlights and a grill :th_laugh-lol3:
My radar detector has alerted me to an ambulance behind me before. Its pretty nice.
ZR...great idea. Yet the intellectuals would be fiddling with the radio trying to figure out why it's lowered in volume and .....who looks at the dash? How many people drive at night w/o lights. If they can't see the dash, they wouldn't notice the flashing light.
Retards are retards. One day hopefully natural selection puts them in your care with another darwin winner in front of you.
Most of the time I still see both directions of traffic pull to the side.
I still do this as well.
On an unrelated note.
In the states, in the middle of nowhere, I find the drivers are more courteous.
They'll typically move over into the left lane to let someone merge from the on ramp.
Especially for trucks.
I've never once see this around here.
Funny, I would call it job security. :th_winking:Quote:
