andyelcomb Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Is there a legal requirement for the type of blinker Wikipedia says "Turn signals are required to blink on and off, or "flash", at a steady rate of between 60 and 120 blinks per minute (Although some operate slower than this).[5][15] International regulations require that all turn signals activated at the same time (i.e., all right signals or all left signals) flash in simultaneous phase with one another" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I thought there would be laws on this...... What about yank motors with red blinkers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I thought there would be laws on this...... What about yank motors with red blinkers Not allowed in the UK, although I got away with the 'red-outs' on the IS250 for about three years (until the last MOT where the tester was a little more observant than he was on the first one).

Tony Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I've seen them loads of times, seemingly the laws not interested then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Agreed if it passes without a cat then happy days.... Finding an MOT tester with grit in his eye and a drink problem are few and far between nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding an MOT tester with grit in his eye and a drink problem are few and far between nowadays. there is nothing to say it has to have a cat ! just that it needs to pass emmisions but they do need to have a model to base the emmissions figure on when its an imported model with no equavalent in this country, it starts getting difficult for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
