The Government recognises the important work that recovery operators perform. The Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations (RVLR) 1989 permit the use of amber warning beacons capable of emitting a flashing or rotating beam of light to raise awareness of vehicles during recovery operations. Amber is a universally recognised signal colour.<\/p>
<\/p>
RVLR also permits the use of an illuminated warning sign which must show a steady light, and be red if showing to the rear of the vehicle, and white or in some circumstances yellow if showing to the front.<\/p>
<\/p>
There are no current plans to change the law.<\/p>
