I've tried and given up! Several posts by me including a video of the toot toot in action. In depth discussion about laws is the order of the day. I'd lay good money the copper was doing just what was expected of him and sorting the horns out. Once the OP moved forward he continued on his way.
Round here the issue is more that emergency vehicles don't use their sirens enough ... due to complaints from the locals of the noise.
