Subject: Emergency light colors............ Author: Bearhawke in Az [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 07:21:07 12/10/02 Tue In reply to: Mike B. 's message, "Geez, who gives a crap...if you were out there catching speeders you'd maybe appreciate a dark colored car. Believe me, the Troops aren't too fond of the new "bright" colors." on 00:17:17 12/10/02 Tue After reading about how the CHP among other agencies would prefer NOT to use amber flashers, at least after dark being that impaired drivers tend to home in towards the light source, I do have to agree with Mike B's assessment re: vehicle color not being a major issue. What I have noticed though is that white lights on a vehicle, if anything, seem to 'repel'.........as in with the amber lights, I am 'drawn' towards them whereas with the white ones, I am 'pushed away' as in I try to stay clear. My .02 cents worth here. Bearhawke in Az [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date Did anyone stop to think that maybe someone at the OHP made an executive decision and just decided that white cars looked better in their opinion? Why does everyone try to overthink things all the time? 11:11:53 12/10/02 Tue Not to mention the budget crunchs are on, may be cheaper too.

(NT) -- Sherlock Spellchecker, 22:46:53 12/10/02 Tue Don't get me wrong, white cars will look way better than dark grey, but from a practical perspective, the grey cars are probably much more effective when "surprising" unsespecting speeders. -- Mike B., 22:06:27 12/10/02 Tue oops...I mean "unsuspecting" speeders. (NT) -- Mike B., 22:10:49 12/10/02 Tue errhhhh... too late, you spelled it, you bought it. unsUspecting! (NT) -- Sherlock Spellchecker, 22:43:58 12/10/02 Tue "I am 'drawn' towards them"...Have you given any thought to changing your name to bughawke. (NT) Fumey Gator 13:16:29 12/11/02 Wed
