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

    I read flashing lights and was thinking flashing headlights which means you are about to get shot around here. 

    Yea, DFW= Dallas Freakin Wait, lol... They do have some nice restaraunts in there tho.

    You guys are lucky. At least your emergency vehicles LOOK like emergency vehicles. I live in a rural area and all of our FD is volunteer and they all use civillian cars w/ lights installed to run calls when they aren't in the actual fire truck or ambulance. 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

    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.
