I rarely use the ditch lights because I’m in LA, the amber markers in the ditch lights aren’t even noticeable from inside the cab, there’s no reflection off the hood.
Cool
After watching numerous people puttering in the middle of the lane, completely aloof to an emergency response vehicle, ambulance, fire engine, or police car right behind them with lights and sirens going, I don't find it hard to believe that some would also confuse these lights as representing such. I've worked in customer circus for years, little surprises me.
Not all emergency or first responder vehicles have sirens. In CT volunteer firemen get a permit for blue lights and volunteer emt's use green. No siren allowed. These lights come in all shapes and sizes. In order to avoid confusion there is a law prohibiting use of colored lights on a moving vehicle on a public street. You can have any color light on your veh. as long as you are not driving down a pub. road while on. This law is also in place because nut jobs have pulled women over and assaulted them. Also remember just because you're smart enough to know the difference doesn't mean there aren't lot of dopes out there who don't.
Too true! I recall a kid in trade school had a relay her pulled out of a retired police car which allowed his headlamps to flash in an alternating pattern. He did so on a public road and received a nice ticket for impersonating a police vehicle.
