Ok

So under what laws or regulations does Gordon Brown have blue strobe lights on his car?

His own personal car? I doubt he has one, it's more likely to be a unmarked police car.

Does he have a driving licence? He doesn't seem to like motorists or motoring infrastucture. Chip on shoulder attitude?

He doesent have a license, he cant drive - eyesight is too bad.. As far as I know the car is not supplied by the police but the cabinet office.

Slightly connected.......why on earth does the BBC need to spend a fortune on a helicopter to watch a car come out of one gate, drive a short distance and go in another gate ?
Grrr

It's because the person organising it is spending someone else's money, (ours).

I hope that BMW drivers don't take up the strobe foglights. :-)

I notice the "Illegal for road use" in your link, Tooslow, G Brown must operate on a different legal system to us rabble.

If he gets back in (God forbid) how long before he has his own lane and a Zil? Be fair, this is the man who saved the world...

I thought bus lanes were political escape routes, but they even got them wrong, ours go into town but not out. They certainly don't improve traffic flow.

it should be illegal with a very heavy fine to sell those lights to non authoritarian use in this country
and a big hefty fine to users of them
to be honest i have no hack with our non elected prime minister having them on his car though

Is that a Prius with the strobe lights in the picture, a supplementary safety function to be used when accelerator sticks or brakes fail perhaps ? ;-)

As in 'get out of my way I can't stop' ........

Ten two One driver and passenger will be Met Protection officers employed to guard our Gordon (doesn't he need it). In which case the use of the vehicle will be for 'Police' purposes and blue lights allowed under Lighting regs.
