Be Alert to the Rules of the Road and lights on Emergency Vehicles

Question:

Please assist…

My company assists our customers alongside the road on a 24/7 basis with any tyre problems.

The vehicles are eqquiped with a triple light on the roof. Do we need a special certificate for these vehicles?

Thanking you in advance.

Answer:

You are not allowed to have lights on the roof unless the vehicle is a breakdown vehicle and then you are only allowed to have an amber light and it may only be used while a vehicle is towed or you are standing at a dangerous spot.

Regulation 176 applies.
