I read the letter from an ex-ambulance driver about sirens (March 22) and the one from K. Minter (March 15).
Everybody appreciates what the ambulance service does. What K. Minter was saying was that the service in Brighton use their sirens inappropriately.
As the driver says, they feel quite excited when they're being used.
My family and I have just come back from Putney in South-West London. We stayed five days. We didn't hear that many sirens and none at night.
We did see ambulances and police cars with their lights flashing, which are used because they can be seen from a distance. That's the idea of them.
Sirens are to be used only in a case of emergency.
