Charlie D Posted May 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 Sorry if anyone found it offensive. I Don't think it is funny either, just thought it was odd that someone would go to so much trouble. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 I'm surprised whoever it is hasn't been given some 'advice' by the Old Bill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john.r.davies Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 I think it's illegal to wear Blue lights, let alone use them on the road unless you are an authorised vehicle. Not sure about the livery, but the Police would have a lot more to discuss than just an offensive word. If it was really there - I suspect a photoshop-job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobH Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) Hmmm. False plates, not taxed or MOTd, (therefore without insurance) driven all over europe........... Quite a few illegalities there then, if true. Maybe the police are not interested because the owner never mis-gendered anyone. Edited May 23, 2023 by RobH Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Having once had an ambulance with a blue light on top (Covered over with gaffer tape) I can say that at the time of my ownership the construction and use regulations stated (Something like..) : “It is illegal to have a blue light or anything resembling a blue light on a vehicle whether it is working or not unless the vehicle is authorized to use it.” I was never quite sure what something “Resembling a blue light” might look like.
