Legal Lighting Question

(1/8) > >>

Bush Tucker Man:
I was browsing the 'Commercial Vehicle' sections of E-Bay, I don't know why I just was.

In the listings, a company was offering amber LED strobe light units for grille/rear mounting.

The thought crossed my mind that a set of these mounted front & rear (high-up) would be ideal when stopped to offer assistance to other motorists, especially given that we're supposed to be getting a harsh winter.

I guess that the amber units are 100% legal & above board.


But;
1. Would pairing them with red units to the rear (or using red in place of amber) be okay?

2. Does the rate/type of operation affect the legality??
Ie; if they flash in an alternating manner (like Traffic Unit Volvos, etc.....) Is it still legal?, or does it constitute an offence (due to possible confusion with a '999' vehicle)

I recall seeing a new AA vehicle with both amber & red flashing strobes in its light bar?

I know, but I'd guess they have an Exemption (if one is required?) as a recovery operator

SWEETY:
I would think they would be ok as they are doing the same jobas a  amber flashing light that a lot of people have :D A hard winter did you say :? I've been thinking that since july but has anyone in the so called know said so yet as i've not heard of anything yet apart from it's snowed in a part of scottland already :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

Wolfie:
Can't see any mention at all of red warning lights in RVLR so guess that they must be covered in one of the amendments.
