 The only influence *I* ever try to exert, is as an observation, or suggestion,
 to be taken or discarded as the responsible ( and presumably more knowledgeable )
 party sees fit.
 Personally, I think real sirens in drive time spots are a bad idea.
 Personally, I think scrolling displays are irresponsible, mostly because those same
 people who put on make up while texting whoever will stare at that display for
 minutes on end to grasp the ONE bit of info they want that might scroll by, in
 ernest hope of not missing that tid bit, paying no attention to traffic developments
 all around them.

 If that scares you, I'm sorry.
