I totally agree with you on this one mpd61.mpd61 @ Sun 27 Jun said:Oh Jeezus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Again!????????
I have no problem with the landscaper guy who has strobes in his C2500 or F-250 (etc.)Amber/Red/White so nobody bounces off him while he's plowing in the winter. In addition, I see no problem with wig/wags(white) or warning strobes in your POV if you are ANY L.E. type who utilizes his POV on authorized road details.

I got whacked by a lady in East Bridgewater last summer. EBPD nearly lost an officer in recent years. He fought hard to return to full duty. It wasn't pretty. Danny McCarthy/Medfield PD and others have paid the ultimate sacrifice. You guys can bust chops all you want. The only people I'll ever gig for this is civilians with red or blue equipment and no permit.

When ever possible park your POV off the road on a side street, driveway, or parking lot where it is safe and just hitch a ride with your detail back to your POV at the end of the day. That way you can avoid that scenario all together! Also your Insurance Co. should have to pay, if person who hit you and their Insurance Co. whould be the ones paying.Dr.Magoo @ Sun 27 Jun said:Slightly off topic. If you are using your POV on a detail with your properly permitted blue lights on, what happens if your car is struck? Who pays? I'm sure your insurance company will have nothing to do with you (if you tell them how it happened) and I'm sure the City of Town you work for won't pay for it either. Just my 2 cents.
Yes, but for most folks, the point of having blues on your POV is for visibility... it' won't be too visible in a driveway... I rather my car get whacked than ME. Look at the Officers who have been killed in the last few years doing traffic details... they wear their vest (birght colors) and still get hit... added lights will help REDUCE these unfortunate incidents.When ever possible park your POV off the road on a side street, driveway, or parking lot where it is safe and just hitch a ride with your detail back to your POV at the end of the day.
