chrisgatguis Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Just wondering if flashing red LEDs are legal / allowed when your on your bike?I've got a clip on LED which i was thinking of putting on my rucksack at the back..also picked up some flourescent bands that go round your arms (quite small about an inch wide) which have 4 LEDs in them...they were a bargain at 89p each lol so just wondered if its okay to wear them?Think they are intended for push bikes / jogging and the like but quite handy size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie16v Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I think that as long as it is attached to you and not the bike then yes it is legal. Cant remember for defo tho. I'll find out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cossie916 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I'd be wary of anything flashing that isn't an indicator, as it may be construed as an indicator by a dozy motorist, and then you are going to get pulled out on! I also think it won't be legal if its a red light, visible from the front? (In the case of the armbands) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
