Missouri shoots drivers with LRAD sound cannons to encourage safer driving
Fighting tragedy with idiocy.
As someone who has lived in Missouri for several years, I can tell you firsthand that drivers here cannot seem to negotiate construction areas. It's a tragic phenomenon, responsible for some 533 work-zone accidents during 2012 in the St. Louis region alone. Daryl Swindle, a Department of Transportation employee, was hit last Wednesday on westbound I-70 in St. Charles County … for the second time in 14 months. It's a dire situation, and MoDOT is responding by deploying Long-Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) sirens in construction zones.
On the surface, this doesn't seem like too bad an idea: Catch the attention of drivers entering work areas and warn them to slow down, right?

I agree, as I have said, we need this in Southern California!
Actually, this sounds like a good idea. (NO pun intended.)
We need this out here in California!
Why not just shoot them :-)
