Lights on a moving vehicle

[peter burton]

As RichardC quite rightly states we should conform to the law even though it is outdated. Where I live out in the Boonies the only time I see a Police car it is reacting to an incident, but there is always the chance that officialdom is having a quiet time and looking for a 'pull'.  What could be an easier stop/ticket/fine/points than coming across an Austin Seven fitted with LED headlamp bulbs, flashing triangles and anything else making the car more 'visual' to other traffic. Sticking my mitt out of the window to turn right is still allowed, using my flashing trafficators is not.  Sensible yes, legal no. Oddly, if the trafficator arms are permanently sticking out they can be used as flashers, if retractable they cannot flash, only emit a constant light.  Another fine mess we are in Stanley.
