@howwon when we respond on the highway and traffic flows cars are passing by as well. Doesn't matter, rather would be even more dangerous when cars that go 80 to 100 mph all have to slow down to 65 or 70. We let them pass, and as soon as we get into the traffic jam (e.g. caused by MVA) we switch the martin horn on and pass them between two lanes
@AcyclicEarth Anyone correct me if Im wrong, but I've learned they do use modern mobile radios however they use a telephone style handset instead of a regular microphone so the officer can hear the dispatcher better.
I would go on the inter calm and tell them to get the f*ck out of my Way!

@AcyclicEarth Also found that it's a Motorola HLN1220(B) handset for use with that Motorola Spectra radio mounted just left of the dash lamp.

@Medionxtr Usually it it the officer running the sirens and E-Alarm. The driver operates the airhorn from a pull wire next to the door.
