    Hey guys :)
    Firstly I'm a huge Dukes of Hazzard fan,and over the summer built a General Lee bike.
    Now I'm toying with the idea of making a Rosco (Sheriff) bike. I was just wondering if its legal to mount flashing lights and a siren to a push bike.
    Can anyone help me out? :)

    Blue lights are reserved in Irish law for emergency vehicles, and red lights cannot be front facing.

    As for on a bicycle, I'm really not sure.

    Bicycles must comply with the same regs i.e. white/yellow light to the front, red light to the back. I think there was a recent amendment to allow the use of flashing LEDs that are so common. Sirens and flashing blues would be illegal afaik.
