It's illegal to have blue lights on vehicles here as well, unless you are
actually an emergency vehicle.

This doesn't seem to have stopped half of Bradford smothering their cars in
blue lights. The coppers aren't interested in enforcement of it, since it's
not profitable, unlike pestering people driving at a sensible speed in an
area with a speed limit set artificially low in order to ensure plenty of
"offenders" to catch.

It'd be rather amusing if they started sending out Fixed Penalty Notices
with photographs of the blue lights. It may even be more profitable than
picking on speeders :)
