Emergency Car Radio OverideBy Alleybobs, Tue Oct 26th, 2004 at 08:58:12 AM PST
I think that emergency vehicle's should be fitted with a transmitter that can overide radio transmissions within a 50m radius. This would enable an ambulance or a fire engine to instruct a specific driver of another vehicle and tell them which way they would like them to move.In a situation where there are three or more lanes of traffic at a junction and as a driver all you hear is a siren which you are not really sure which direction it is coming from then the ability to say clear the centre lane or the left lane must be of use to the emergency services.Under these sort of circumstances we think that we are sure what to do but a direct instruction from the emergency vehicle would hopefully reduce any confusion.The system would overide a cars music radio/cd player in the same way that traffic news will switch channels for a bulletin and change back when the emergency vehicle has passed. This system would enable the emergeny driver to identify a possible blockage and say "Would the Coca Cola lorry please move to your right etc etc..
