blue flashing lights

--- Quote from: "Wanderer" ---I think you will find that the Salvation Army are recognised in a similar way that the Red Cross and St John Ambulance are by the Emergency Planning Officer in the emergency plans. The vehicle more than likely would be used in an emergency to provide some sort of a service.

St Johns operate their ambulances as frontline veichles. In many parts of the UK you may well get a St John unit at certain times instead of a county one. In soulhamptom ALL pediatric calls are taken by SJA.
The Red cross also do some emergency work and I know theres a Winabago around run by some volunteer group with blues on used as a councilling unit at major incidents.
Our police friends on here will also confirmed that all lights on a veichle should be 'e' marked.In practice you can fail an MOT on this alone, although my body coded repeaters on the audi never have. The majority of the lexus lights on chav-mobiles and coloured repeaters arent.

Mountain rescue can use blue lights and speed, but only if they have done the blue light corse, which many driver have not.
I know this as a friend of mine is in edale mountain rescue and is a blue light driver. He says some days when you see their 110's driving all over the place there is a good chance they are on a shout, but the driver can't turn on the lights and sirens so has to sit behind Mrs Jones and her rambleing mates as they dordle their way to a Castleton tea room. (thats right, another resion ramblers are * anoying)
* insert suitable word here.

I drive fire engines quite a lot when we paint them after they have bashed them! We have never covered the lights up but have trade plates on, should we be covering the lights or is it just for police cars really???

What is it with this fascination with blue lights? the boy racers just have to have them all over their cars. Why? its cheaper and less hassle with orange ones.
You cannot us them why bother with them? I just cannot figure them out?
