Yeah right, like he did not know Lucky not to get done for impersonating a police officer/emergency services or something.

Think you can get shot for using them out there tho.

So he's been driving for 20 years and didn't know that civillian vehicles were not mean to have flashing blue's and sirens on them? If he's that stupid he should not be on the road in the first place. Somehow I think it might, just might, be BS coming from the slimebag, sorry, solicitor (don't know how I got confused there). Then again, maybe he is just rather dim.

I'd seriously not want to try that in the US, especially somewhere like Texas, they are *very* funny about that type of thing. Not sure about the flashing blue though, tends to usually be flashing red and white and blue, not just blues as there are in the UK. In Canada the flashing blue is usually seen on snow plows/clearing vehicles, which does take a little getting used to when it's dark and one of them is folowing you

What is the world coming to when even a BBC journalist doesn't know that the siren is the bit that makes the noise. It's a blue flashing light not a siren.

wasnt there someone done afew years ago that had his Range rover all tricked out. registered himself as a emergency heart surgeon (??) and got away with it for years until he had a accident. when the councils etc would send in speeding tickets his "registered" clinic or Hospital would just send back the required details to say he was "on call"

Got to admit that you'd have to be a bit hard of hearing to think that's a police car though

I see a old shape Focus every morning with blue leds in it's grill. Amazing that he hasn't been pulled yet, although scameras aren't really able to pull people over are they...

I had this on the A40, I was on the outside lane overtaking when this black car came tearing up with it's lights flashing like a police car, so I pulled out of it's way. It was a limo!

To be fair the guy knew what he was doing and I've seen some young lads in a polo do it on chiswick roundabout.

The question is do these people take it one step further and start to pull over drivers, it's happen in the USA and things here seem to be going towards the states.

Seamaster

trust me... there are some very very unusual car and vans in the Uk that have covert lighting. Its not all "latest Models".

Old shoguns and troopers. transit vans. Foresters and Terranos. even legacy's ! in fact ,sometimes the older the vehicles get the more serious the "contents"

There are many reason to have emergency lighting. Youi should see how many are registered to the NAVY and are covert.

Agreed!!

Thats got to be the most shi*e excuse iv'e heard a solicitor ever come out with!!

If i was him i wouldn't pay the dopey nobber!!

Lol!...must admit we did this a bit in the mid 80’s…on the cheap…we got hold of some flashing orange magnetic lights from a building site, put a green film over them and used to slap em on the roof of the car and pull people over at night…well, they used to slow down to let us pass and we’d drive on laughing…must admit I look back on the memory of it now and it was very funny at the time..

Wouldn’t have worked very well in the daytime on a mk 2 escort I suspect..

Anyway, we stopped doing it when a police range rover saw us with the light on one time, chased us but couldn’t find any evidence as we buzzed the light out of the window as we just got out of sight on a corner…they gave the car a free MOT for us thou and an uncomfortable hour at the side of the road
