Ban the use of Sirens and Traffic Sounds on the Radio.

Created by A.W. on May 15, 2014

Most Americans listen to the Radio, and most Americans do it in the same place--in their car--but many of the sounds heard on today's radio can be extremely distracting to drivers, from screeching, to revving, to honking, and even a few kinds of EMERGENCY SIRENS. Having these sounds played on the radio and in people's cars is distracting and desensitizing. It can confuse people, making them think that there is an emergency when none exists, or cause them to ignore very real sirens, because they think it's just the Radio. Please help make our roadways safer, and make Emergency Sirens for Emergency Vehicles only.
