aidensere07 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 perfectly legal Road Vehicle Lighting Regs 1989. Orange warning beacons not be used lit except: (i) at the scene of an emergency (ii) when it is necessary or desirable to warn persons of the presence of the vehicle; and (iii) in the case of a breakdown vehicle, while it is being used in connection with, and in the immediate vicinity of, an accident or breakdown, or while it is being used to draw a broken-down vehicle. http://www.opsi.gov.uk/SI/si1989/Uksi_19891796_en_4.htm#%28Tiii%2926requirementaboutusewarningbeacon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyM Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 The amber beacons aint legal though to use as normal driving there only used as a warning light. I believe he uses it when he pulls up at the side of the road to carry out work (coring tarmac). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terminator Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Actually you can drive with an amber beacon on if you are travelling less than 20mph or are a highway maintenance vehicle, or of similar nature, like crane's etc.I was refering only to this part below though there not to be used for normal driving around. "Lol you could just buy one of those magnetic amber flashing beacons" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avalon Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 Ive been quoted £200 for supply and install by someone. I think that's a little steep, so im probably going to buy the LED's myself and then do some soldering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
