Pennsylvania vehicle code explicitly disallows sirens on bicycles. Some other states may have similar restrictions.

NYC vehicular code also prohibits running red lights too but I do it.
When I'm trying to get the attention of an SUV rapidly closing in on my lane, I think it'll be quite effective in getting the driver's attention.

Okay, so the SUV is next to you on your left, you hit the siren, and the SUV dives toward the right curb ?

Pretty much, the deflectors on the Enterprise work the same way.

Yes, a siren is recommended to do this and also a blue light mounted over the helmet :rolleyes:

How about bells? or a horn?

No go for the full light rack on the helmet, go for the bling.
