Excellent driving and the best use of the Q I have ever heard. Some guys just turn it on and leave it on, you used it textbook perfectly. Well done :)

Glad to see nobody pulls over for you in your state on the highway ... way to give them more air horn

[franktonfire]

what kind of electric siren does this truck have?

[goodwill2ndin]

@franktonfire pa300

[burger1ish]

in our department we use the siren as needed but even in the middel of the night when you go through the stop lights in the middel of town you have the siren on it gose off after you get through the lights empty roads i see no need to have it on my self

[Lawmaster1702]

@burger1ish To each his own personal preference, just keep in mind though that the law says lights and sirens must be on at the same time. Which means if you're involved in an accident and your siren isn't on, its automatically your fault, even if its an accident that you couldn't have prevented in any way, it's still automatically your fault for not having the siren on.

[NeverRestOneDayx]

That is very true, but I will bet you anything if a department policy states not to use sirens on empty roads, late at night, etc. as soon as they were involved in a crash and sued, that policy would change fast. And yes you are 100% right, most drivers or officers will use the electronic siren and the Q when needed. I prefer the Q over an electronic any day but that is just my personal opinion.

[JoshIsDope843]

its better to make noise and let everyone know your coming then go around a corner or something and have someone pull out

[k0smon]

He must be in love with the Q cause it 's going non stop on an empty road.

[NeverRestOneDayx]

@k0smon You should learn about the liability issues if they were to be in a crash without sirens on. Better to make noise than have to deal with all of those problems if a crash were to happen.

[k0smon]

@NeverRestOneDayx ::: Much depends on dept. policies. My eyeballs always told me when to use the siren. Many drivers now use the electronic full time and the Q as needed.

[goodwill2ndin]

@k0smon I didnt want anyone to pull out infront of us

[sumofnone3]

@k0smon I dont know about goodwill2ndin being in love with the siren, but I sure as hell am. Its kinda the point in watching this video isn't it??
