I need a bit of advice from our resident police people.
Whilst driving home from the pub tonight, a patrol car (obviously with nothing else to do) flashed me from the opposite side of the road.
He turned round and pulled me up with the obligatory flashing blue strobes.
After asking me the same old questions, like where had I been and where was I going, he gave me a breath test.(No problem, as I never have more than 2 pints if I'm driving).
With this done and no subsequent arrest, he then proceded to go round my car with a fine toothed comb.
I had already turned the neons off before I left home, but he picked up on the blue washer jets.
He gave me a warning and told me to disconnect them asap.
I had an arguement with him, stating that as they did not rotate or flash, there was nothing he could do about them.
Am I right in stating this, or should I be a law obiding citizen and disconnect them? (for a while anyway).
Any info appreciated.
P.S. You still alive Dave?
