As a former EMT, I know that even with a real siren and more flashing lights then 10 Rotating Disco Ball Lamps, there are clueless people that will not see you and/or get out of your way. I cringe for the panicked father that thinks this will help him get through traffic at warp speed.

If I was the inventor of this sign, I would certainly add more of a disclaimer to the site than just “have safe trip” … but then again, I’m not a lawyer …
