Rear Mounted Siren Speaker

Good idea?

I am not really crazy about this idea.

I know when I hear a siren while driving on a highway the first thing I do is look in my rear view mirror.

Although this is a neat idea, in many agencies, NOT using lights and sirens on the highway is protocol. For one reason, it's been showed you can move just as fast without it, and it actually could slow you down. And at speeds over 55MPH, the siren can barely be heard. *

 

*Except for when you are in the area of the area of the incident, to get through traffic and onto the scene.
