References[edit]

This page needs better references -- simply quoting a third party website is not enough. Official government documentation should be quoted, or reference should be made to other sources that quote official documentation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.159.224.96 (talk) 11:07, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Did you read the UKEV page? It cites The Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations (1989 and amendments) at the bottom, and explicitly claims to be a simplification of them in its third section. Nonetheless, I've tidied up some of the referenceage. --Scott Wilson (talk) 19:14, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Exemptions[edit]

"In the UK, certain emergency vehicles are exempt from certain motoring regulations." This is not a correct statement; exemptions are granted depending on the use to which the vehicle is put at the time - they are not dependant on the owning organisation or type of vehicle. There are legal cases regarding this. Moreover, this statement in its current form could be misconstrued to mean that, for example, an ambulance can always go through a red traffic light even when not engaged on an emergency call. Unless anyone has any objections I will change this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.137.75.149 (talk) 06:03, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The above proposed amendments were included in the revision dated 22nd August 2011 as no objections were noted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.137.75.142 (talk) 20:28, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Page move[edit]

User:Dmvward recently moved a lot of the content to Emergency_vehicle_lighting#United_Kingdom. I contested this, as that article is about lighting only. He rightly pointed out that having the content here is a bit silly, because "blues and twos" doesn't really cover what is being discussed. We both think it'd be a good idea to move this page to widen the scope to include emergency vehicle equipment (or just emergency vehicles) in the United Kingdom. Therefore, I'm proposing that this page be moved to Emergency vehicle equipment in the United Kingdom (or possibly Emergency vehicles in the United Kingdom). Anyone have any ideas/comments/suggestions? ninety:one 23:48, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Replacement by wail and yelp[edit]

Hello, I have a question to the specislist: When exactly and based on what law (or similar) were the former horn signals replaced by the current wail and yelp signals in the UK? Maybe I was too blind to find that information and I appreciate any kind of information on that. Thanks in advance! Cheers, GeoTrinity (talk) 19:42, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
