Slow moving vehicles.

Hi to all,

Being a Bedford owner and running at a speed of around 55MPH I decided for some roads it would make sense to use an amber rotating light due to the speed of todays traffic, on checking with the testing centre I was told this with be against the law as it is only for vehicles that only able to travel at 30MPH.
As a test of this rule I paced my speed with a tractor using amber lights as a slower moving hazardous vehicle and found it was travelling at 42MPH, to pass I was doing 45MPH so I think I will make use of that amber light.

Hi bluebedouin,

The only sign on the back of my campervan says Bedford but after my first ever road side breakdown two weeks ago I think it will be a useful addition because everybody miss uses their hazard warning lights, even when parked on the pavement.
