    do you really not have time for a red light on your commute?
    If you can thread the needle... and if your drive can lead to Pole Position today, history may hold a place for you tomorrow.

    They are most likely illegal according to your local police... but if they don't find out???

    But federally, they are legal because the FCC does not regulate the emmission of Light signals, only radio signals.

    getting one of those MIRT's is only a good way into trouble.

    think about they are made to save lives, not for a few minutes to be saved going to work and back. and by using them you could starts to mess with the whole timing of the traffic system.

    REMEMBER THEIR IS A DRIVING KARMA, LET SOMEONE IN AND YOU WILL BE LET IN WHAN YOU NEED IT.

    Ok guys im not here to rag on anyone, i mean it is an open discussion forum but cmon he didnt ask if you liked the idea or if you thought it was good or bad etc. he just asked if anyone had or knew where to get one... do we really have to start postin all our "beliefs" on the matter? NO.... just try and keep on the subject, if you can get one say it or if you have a question that has relation ask it but just keep your personal beliefs outta it. its so lame i dont care what you think of the idea of having one and im sure i dont speak for only myself if you want to post that stuff start a new thread and name it what i think about mirt units. as far as this thing goes though if you do find one or where to get it hook me up with the info id be down to own one of these for sure!

    They are illegal in Texas, you can be charged with impersonating a police officer or emergency personnel if you have a strobe light attatched to your vehicle or even if you flash your brights at the light to change it.

    sorry, sikbnz, but as I used to be an EMT, it would be difficult for me to respond without making some kind of commentary. At least I try to keep it on the comedic tip. But honestly, if someone proposes an idea that I think would possibly harm others...I'm gonna say something.

    To me, it's as if the dude asked where he could get fake handicapped placards.

    Really though, if you want to play public safety, just go request a gall's catalogue and order all of the lights, stobes and sirens you could want.

    Sorry if you don't want to hear it from me, but hey, if I what others or I say gives pause, then maybe there's something to think about.
