Medics based in the Hampshire town of Basingstoke (famed for its one, truly amazing inhabitant) have added vibration sirens to their emergency response vehicles.
What, I hear you ask, would they need those for? Well, the idea is that they vibrate the cars in front of them and, in theory, the drivers of those cars will move out of the way.
Still not convinced? Surely anyone that hears a siren or flashing lights will get out of the way of an emergency vehicle, right? Not so fast - there's plenty of people that have their car stereos up too loud and don't bother checking their mirrors... y'know, the kind of people that shouldn't be on the road in the first place.
There's one small hitch in the plan - if someone is already listening to some "banging choonage" they won't be able to tell the difference between the vibrations, no?
