Is Canada going to follow up with the "rumbler" siren?

I was randomly going through youtube and saw these videos that came up.

EDIT: Apparently there's one in the Victoria Police department according to the last video.

This would a great tool for police officers.

I mean I see one too many distracted drivers playing with their sound systems, or on their phones.

2nd video is like bunch of UFOs are going out on a mission

especially the 3rd vehicle.... this is funny

Yes, I know of one police vehicle in Duncan that is equipped with a Rumbler.

Must be a test vehicle unless they are moving away from the "universal" PC concept ? I remember getting our fingers slapped when we installed something far better, more efficient and cheaper....everything from light to Radar units must come from the Only Universal Source Of Approved Knowledge And Excellence And Centre Of The Known World...AKA...OTTAWA

Thats pretty nifty and would be quite nice. There has been countless times that emergency cars have come up close (just beyond 80m or so) to me and the only reason I know is because I saw the lights... hearing the sirens would be nice as well.... and thats without music, just physics... ooohhhh doppler. Changing frequencies like those are much better.

they definately need those for fire trucks and ambulances as well.... seen too many clueless drivers still blocking the roads driving slow not pulling over.......

i don't get how some idiots can't hear the sirens, it's loud enough isn't it?

sometimes?

i always see the lights before the sirens, and if theres enough traffic around me it blocks out the siren until its close

maybe it's just me then, i always manage to hear the sirens from a far and have plenty of time to pull over

I definitely see the sirens first LOL

ur the guy with the huge black GT wing on the back arn't u...oh and i also don't get why u need that many rear view mirrors

With the change in frequency (sound waves being compressed though movement) its perfectly understandable why people wouldn't be able to hear it; either because the sound was absorbed by the car or the frequency is in a range that the person has difficulty receiving.

where can we buy a "rumbler" type setup for our own cars?

any sort of siren on a non-emergency vehicle is illegal.

It's to have a better rear view to see what's going on.

But it doesn't make you more of a safe driver than before.

Always shoulder check regardless cause there will always be blind spots:thumbsup:
