The Meatwagon: Missing, presumed..?

[cwspellowe]

im sure the rozzers would disagree

Doubt it, they're used to illuminate a hazard. If i was driving round like a knob jockey with them on then fair play, however I work with these on a daily basis so please get off your misguided high horse and accept that, in this instance, you're wrong.

Not only am I qualified to work on the roads, you don't actually need a "permit" as you call it. The RVLR state that:

"(vii) a vehicle used for the purpose of inspecting, cleansing, maintaining, adjusting, renewing or installing any apparatus which is in, on, under or over a road, or for any purpose incidental to any such use;"

So if my car breaks down, I can flip the beacons on to make a safer working environment. If I park in a town centre and flip them on to impress my chav mates, it's illegal.

Thanks bbz.
