What bugs me are the "oblivious to the world" folks. The ones driving down the road not paying attention.

Yep!
However, I've observed situations where sirens and such sometimes have a more difficult time penetrating the modern world of better noise-proofing on cars...especially when combined with the distractions of cell phones, better (and louder) music systems, crying kids, etc.
I've run into problems a couple of times in foul weather when I couldn't hear the sirens from emergency vehicles approaching from a side street because I was 'up wind' from them - picking up movement and light from the corner of my peripheral vision kept anything serious from happening.
SA remains the key for any driver - to include those operating emergency vehicles.
And don't get me started on those who '
park' in the passing lane (even when there are signs saying "Left Lane for Passing Only" or "Keep Right Except To Pass") and won't move to the right to allow faster traffic to pass...
