Yesterday I was waiting at the jammed-as-usual intersection of Routes 1 and 202 en route to the Young Relative's chosen venue for his birthday dinner, Outback Steakhouse. I heard a siren behind me, looked in the rear-view mirror and saw the flashing lights of an approaching emergency vehicle.
Fortunately the driver had one of those devices that enable emergency personnel to change red lights to green so they don't have to wait in traffic while a house is burning down or a person isn't breathing. It was pretty cool to see it work.
I looked online and found out that to buy one of these nifty Opticom gadgets, you are required to submit your order on official letterhead, complete with a picture ID proving that you are a real emergency-services person and not just an impatient motorist.
