Civilian Sirens For Emergencies

Is that even legal?

this is retarded

My mom's got cancer and I have a dash mounted emergency light (blue and white, used for only volunteers here but whatever I use it for car shows).

It helped me get through rush hour traffic to get her to the hospital as her kidneys were failing. What would've taken 40 minutes took 10.

As I said I use it for car shows, but thankfully I left it on the dash after the season was over. I'll keep one forever, I don't give a fuck.

Don't use the colors your police department uses (some states share with volunteer FF's and whatever).

Thanks for the advice regarding the lights. But how about sirens?

Sirens aren't legal either, but lights draw more attention typically. Siren's you'll need room for the control box, speaker, and you'll have to wire it. You could get a system with a built in PA system to fuck around and have some fun though.

Honestly, the lights are more beneficial, and draw way more attention at shows and stuff.

pls answer

Why not go balls deep and wire in a siren along the lights while you're at it.

Can't you put those yellow caution beacons on the top of your car?

Check state laws, some may not care, some may have them saved for hazard vehicles. You can use any in private, but no one's moving over for yellow lights.

Cause it costs a few grand

A window light works pretty damn good

Story time

>1990s
>Family business purchased an Econoline 350 at auction from some huge corporation
>It was a hazmat van that had been used on private property
>Full red/blue/yellow light bar with side lights, door spotlights, red grille lights, sirens/PA/CB
>Light bar was kept covered for public road use
>Kept getting pulled over and ticketed anyway
>Light bar and grille lights were eventually removed, too much hassle
>Audio system remained intact

>One day, family riding along on the freeway in this beast of a van, Dad driving
>Some asshat cuts him off
>Siren controls are above the driver's seat
>System has a selector switch with a few "continuous" sirens that will stay on
>But there's also a two-way rocker switch with an air horn on one side, and a "manual siren" on the other
>These two only sound for as long as the rocker is pressed
>Dad reaches up to blast the air horn at the fucker
>Not looking due to its location, he presses the wrong side of the rocker switch
>Siren blares
>Asshat freaks out, pulls out of our lane and gets off the freeway
>We all laugh

But yeah, don't fuck with emergency equipment, cops will find any excuse to cite for it and they'll fucking rape you if the catch you actually using it on public roads.
