Sirens from emergency vehicles. Of course you can't hear them with a radio blasting away, either.
That's why we have EYES!
You can't see the siren--yes you can see flashing lights, but in many cases the siren is audible long before flashing lights come into view, especially in heavy traffic where there are many vehicles that block the view of the emergency vehicle, or when it is coming along an intersecting street.
Please not, I did say that drivers with loud radios, and even ones with all windows rolled up or the fan running on high may not always hear sirens.
Yes, vision is far more important than hearing for safe driving, And I do not advocate that deafness should be a reason for denying a driver's license, I am simply saying that your initial statement that hearing has NOTHING to do with driving is inaccurate.
