George the Disco:
Just found this and thought that you may like to review it. It could start a bit of a discussion...

I'm not sure about discussion, it simply says what the law is. Note to all the people with spots on their roofrack, they are not legal for use on a road.

Another summary can be seen at [url http://www.rangie.com/articles_topic.php?id=196&cat=6&subCat=116]rangie.com[/url]

The second link I think explains things better, and err.................. as for using my spots on the roof whilst on the road well I don't. (Well have done but no-one around  :wink: ). Thought it was pretty clear to everyone that if you use them on the road your going to blind anyone coming towards you, so common sense really. Same goes for rear work lamps as well.

Good info though.

Moose:
I know some of us off road types fit lamps on the roof rack for off road use. Fine. but can someone explain why so many trucks - uk operated as well, fit 4 or 5 supa size spots across the roof and a further 4 or 5 on the grill. :?


I don't off road much - but I have not seen a 18 wheeler greenlaning

Andy.:
Chris, saw coming back from Doncaster tonight around 10:30ish on A1 opposite carriage way a trucks front end light up like a chirstmas tree with a snowman taking his hat off in full flashing lights.

I thought then that no way can that be legal on a motorway  :?
