Make the FCC ban the playing of any songs featuring sirens of any kind from playing on the radio.

Created by S.E. on September 25, 2015

Millions of people are on the roads everyday driving to and from work, running errands, or just joyriding. Many of them tune into the radio for a bit of entertainment, to get weather and traffic reports, or listen to the latest breaking news. Like most others, I don't know every sound of every song to ever be played on the radio, so I don't always know if there will be loud sirens coming up in a particular song, radio show, etc. When I DO hear sirens, my adrenaline often spikes and I look around frantically to see if it's safe to move over to let emergency vehicles pass, or perhaps pull me over. It adds a lot of unnecessary stress to what should be a relatively stress free commute, and has potential to create dangerous situations that are easily avoidable. Ban them from being played!
