Test It Tuesday - It's Your Turn
As we bring Test It Tuesday back here on Channel 4 Action News, we want to try some different things to make it more interactive and allow you to be part of the process. One of those innovations will be on Wednesday and I'm calling Test It Tuesday - It's Your Turn.
The idea is to hear what you think about the products we test and add your two cents worth. This week's test was the Reverse Alarm which didn't get high marks from me because it didn't make enough noise to warn anybody of a car heading in their direction. The test brought out these comments from you.
T0nya writes: "We have something better than the backup item. We have a reare light that replaces one of your current ones and it beeps pretty loud. I have used it for five years and it costs $20".
Earl writes: "Hey Andrew, sticking anything on a light on your car is illegal as per PA state inspection law". If that is true, maybe I should alert the makers of the Reverse Alarm.
Carolyn chimes in: "My Reverse Alarm beeps constantly when the sunlight hits it".
Finally, some woman called our newsroom and didn't leave her name but said the following: "I dod not appreciate the comment you made about your insurance being paid up. You're endorsing that people have accidents so that they can collect the insurance money".
OK.
So thanks to all of those folks who shared their thoughts and insights. I would love to hear from you, too. If you have a question, comment, suggestion or complaint, send it right here. We'll print some of your responses each Wednesday and we may even use you as the tester on "Test It Tuesday".
