It's not unusual to see oncoming lorries at night with elaborate illuminated decorations inside their cab. I mean the sort that is mounted at the back of the cab, so it can be seen through the windscreen. These vary in colour and I've even seen blue ones, similar colour to emergency beacons (although not flashing).
These illuminations can be confusing to oncoming drivers and they must also be a distraction to the driver of the lorry, since they: A) give off light inside the cab and B) they must cause at least some degree of reflection on the inside of the windscreen.
These things must already be illegal. For a start, you're only allowed to show a white or orange (flashing) light to the front.
Surely it's time the police clamped down on drivers who choose to display these illuminations.
I would rather see lorries like that, than cars with out of alignment headlights as a lot more seem to be these days, or even on main beam that some will not switch off?
Where are we going to get the police from to police it,I think they have enough to do without lorry lights,some look nice imo
