    I think I am correcting is saying only civi police have the calibrated Speedo fitted, so that may well be a clue, most of the MOD ones have the blackout switch.

     

    got any photos? especially of the Speedo head, and switcheson the left side

    The road traffic law Cleary states that no one other than authorised authorities may use blue lights, and that a lamp is not a lamp if covered– except if it is blue! It also states if fitted it counts wether or not it is connected/working. It also states that any material cable of reflecting light can also be classed the same. So yes you were breaking the law by having the blue lights fitted and covered. The simple solution is to have a set of either yellow or clear lenses fitted, I would suggest the yellow as it is more obvious that you are showing you’re not impersonating (remember impersonation can be described as what someone sees- i.e. just because you’re wearing black is not a get out various police forces use all black with just a hivis band over the shoulder and round the waist. What I believe to see compared to someone else can be so different.)

     

    Does the bike have any wording on it? If so is it clearly crossed out or better still signs on the bike saying out of service or film unit – providing you use it in film or TV work- proof maybe needed for this.

     

    We use to run 5 pans for various reasons, all were marked correctly and used yellow lenses on public highways, yes we did have various stops, but never any issues, we have even worked with various police forces whilst escorting private/classic military vehicles/convoys and abnormal loads (not just classic military).

     

    So my advice would be, take the blues off show the yellows clearly and cross out any signage with black tape or better still get some stickers saying out of service to put over any wording. Carry any documents to prove what you use them for.

     

    Good luck and safe riding. For the record we still have these type of bikes in the club only now they are the newer BMW’s and still without issues.
