Sadly, as far as I’m aware, there is no law prohibiting owning or fitting emergency service style sirens to your vehicle as long as you don’t use the siren on the public road.

I’m happy to be corrected on that if anyone knows differently.
Gareth has provided the link.

The siren does not need to be used, just fitted for the offence to be complete.

It's like blue lights - they don't need to be used either.

The Walt’s were out last night here on the Island wking themselves off. All the cool people were out in their MX5s , I would have been out in Missus Zippy MX5 but had done a bottle of red by the time the snow started.
‘Cool’ people drive MX5s?

I don't think the Isle of Wight has the MX5 yet. They've only just got Ceefax.

They do a great job in bad weather but...they fking carp on a out it. The real emergency services do it everyday but come snow the real Boyz step in. Just get on with it. Yes we know you've kitted out your 4x4 for those 3 days a year you need a 4x4.

It is a bit crass to blow your own trumpet as much as this lot do.

Trying to slyly ally themselves with WW2 fighter pilots is totally cringey as well.

As I waffled on about earlier, for the ‘4x4 Response’ lot, it isn’t primarily about helping others, it’s about feeling important, feeling in charge, wearing a uniform, having flashing lights and a radio.

Everyone knows it.

That’s why they get the piss taken out of them.

Exactly. These people started when they got their first taste of a bit "power". Probably working at McDonalds. Got 2 stars and were allowed to have a bunch of keys. Had to be clipped to the boat loop, not in a pocket. The holder of the keys is God.

Generally life's losers. Instead of actual 'll y joining the police or military the get a 4x4 and pretend like they are . The t shirt above is classic, the few. Oh do fk off. If 4x4s were band tomorrow the world would keep on turning.

There is a guy near me. He walks round the park and paths and picks up litter. He even bought himself a picker. Does he tell anyone, No. Does he pretend has is waste management consultant, No. Does he wear a hi viz, no. Just quietly walks around doing it for the good of everyone and wanting nothing in return.


I don't have anything against 4x4 response. But I will rip the piss out of them relentlessly.

It's a bit like vaping, an effective, elegant solution to a problem and millions of people quietly get on with it

Unfortunately it also attracts a crowd who think it makes them cool and they don't shut up about it, in fact they are so loud, annoying and painfully uncool, it ruins it for the rest of us, who were quietly getting along and enjoying it

Anyone who wears a t-shirt like that deserves a kick in the eyes.
