Ban the use of sirens, horns and car screeches in radio advertisement

Additional Information

[This may fall under the media jurisdiction]

I would like the government to consider placing a ban on all radio advertisements that unnecessarily use the likes of police or any other emergency service sirens - or indeed the use of car screeches/breaking and horns.

I feel the reasoning behind this petition is simple common sense. If one accident were to occur on the back of a misjudgement of a horn or the obvious distraction of a siren when a driver is listening to their radio and is perhaps not overly attentive to the advertisement then that is one accident too many.

Whilst I appreciate the severity of the use of sirens in some government launched campaigns, such as the recent "Don't do drugs and drive" service announcements - I still feel the use of sirens is not all that much of a necessity and that in avoiding the use, you can only improve the recognition and response our emergency services will get by drivers through removing the distractions.
