Blue light craze ?
Discussion
The only vehicle that can legally display a static blue light is one which is owned by the Queen. The light is situated at the top and centre of the windscreen above the mirror and is part of the vehicle body with a lens over it (it is not a stick on jobby inside the windscreen).
You must therefore assume that any car you see with a static blue light displayed is being driven by a Queen
On a serious note, any light that is not white which is shown to the front other than a flashing amber lamp is illegal unless the vehicle is an emergency vehicle.
Emergency vehicles are alowed to show flashing blue and in the case of a Fire Brigade operations incident vehicle, a flashing red light to the front.
Doctors on an emergency can show flashing green.
Any other colour is committing an offence.

must've been a temporary set back, nicked from his sons motor while he went to get new ones. My brother is a doctor who attends "mishaps" was given a blue flashing light, I beleive it needed the signature of the cheif constable.
Anyway he normally drives with it covered, because the sight of it will slow down the car in front!
It took him a while to work out why he was always behind a car obeying the speed limit.

Every car I seem to meet at the moment seems to be sporting blue lights ( not the main headlights ) on the dash or in the grill are these Legal ? look a bit suspect to me ?
There has been a large amount of them on sale around blackpool - they were selling them on the street corners when I was up there a couple of weeks ago.
everything from ear rings, key rings, bracelets, key remote fobs - you name it they were selling it complete with a blue flashing light.
Walk along the Golden mile and it looked like the scene of a major accident/incident.
edited to add: no I didn't f-ing buy one

I got me a blue flasher, wired a cigarette lighter plug to it,
makes short work of the rush hour traffic, now I get an extra 30 mins in bed!
havent seen a police car for 14 months and counting, so Im not bothered about using it.
(seen 3 new speed camera cash machines installed instead tho..)

I wonder if the boy racer thought it would make it go faster Mate of mine said it perfectly for me, when a bunch of us returning from a party were walkin along the street one night, we spot a Saxo parked up with a pair of blue LEDs on his washerjets.
One of our bunch asks "why do they do that then"? my mate pipes up " Its coz they can't afford the amount of LEDs needed to write I'm a complete cu*t across the bonnet, so just having 2 of them on the washerjets is a sort of a shorthand version of saying it to the world"!!
About ten of us pissed our pants, the pair of spotty little baseball cap and puffa jacket wearing gimps sat inside the car, having no doubt a crafty 'herbal ciggie' who we haddnt spotted were not so ammused!!
