TITs Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 I have just bought an LED tape style sign for the window from keyservices, it was 200 quid and about 2ft long, Its OK but I could still be doing with a bigger one, any ideas or samples of better light up signs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 What voltage are they? Could they be used in the rear window of a car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironplanet uk900 Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 I'm not sure Hugh, I'll have a look on monday, you do need a transformer, but I can't remember the voltage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 If you have to have a transformer then they must be portable and most probably 12 volt on low Amperage. Would be nice to have one in the back window that says "F**k O** when you get tailgaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kobblers Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 i thought of that too hugh. i also thought of getting a camera flash that i could dazzle the TW***with. it's my biggest bugbear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Off topic but relevent. I use a disposable camera set on flash and when they overtake me when I am on the speed limit I flash them, yer wanna see them put their brakes on quick!!! I also adjust my mirror so their beam at night is reflected back to them if they are on full beam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Just dont get too close or overtake when you should not. Common sence really but how many have that nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TITs Posted January 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Jesus thats road safety gone nuts the first thing most people do when flashed is jump on the brakes, A pile up could happen....................... Imagine breaking the law in that way to make a point of someone else breaking the law ? It is a criminal offence to distract another road user in that manner. Infact it would fall into reckless endangerment charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithm Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 I concur I would not advocate any of these actions as it could be highly dangerous! Even when said in jest As a bike rider, I would find this to be a potentialy lethal act! Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 If you have a tail gaiter a safe way of getting them to back of during day time hours is to flick your lights onto side lights, the natural reaction is to think they are your brake lights coming on, and it always gets you another 10' Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblers Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 i have more trouble from bike riders, especially the courier type than all the other motorists combined i'm fed up of almost being winged by them as they weave in and out of the stationary traffic that is so prevalent in my area and most of 'em don't use any sort of signalling when deciding to overtake or turn give me the UPS van up yer backside on a country lane anyday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Drive sensibly and you have no need to be flashed. Any recless drivers(or Riders)deserve all they get, members or not, sponsors or not. Do not make excuses for bad habits and illegal activities.
