I have had three close calls from Emergency vehicles just out of the blue to a point I must do something about it. Is there such a radar detector device? I just bought a Cobra radar detector from Radio Shack but there are many features, most of those I don’t need hence confusing. I am hesitant about keeping it. Please let me know if there is sucn. Thanks.

I thought it is good idea. but I was not able to open the website.

I need it because I almost hit fire truck during day time. I have hard time hear it. my daughter always turn the music loud. They did not warned me. It is really annoyed me about situation. I almost hit .. I was scared afterward.

A very close friend and her ride were hit by a fire engine that sped out from behind a building at a corner.

Since both were deaf, it made the headlines: “DEAF DRIVER HIT BY FIRE TRUCK; COULD NOT HEAR SIREN” Actually, witnesses at the scene said there was no siren heard.

Nevertheless, it could not have made it easier for deaf drivers to keep the respect of the public.

Hey,

I do need that kind of device because I see ambulance and/or fire trucks all over the place. Sometimes, I didn’t realize they were right around the corner, I couldn’t hear or see it. We should contact the manufacturer and ask them to make more for the deaf drivers.

I have seen this web site, but is having difficulty contacting them, much less find out what the pricing is on their “solution”. Once I get some details, I will let everyone know. Any other solutions?
