It isn't clear what the Dominator may have been doing to earn a trooper's attention, but I'm one who has seen Reed violate a number of traffic laws.<br /><br />However, the lights incident appears legit from the account on the blog. There are quite a few people (including one VERY well-known and respected chaser whose photo was used on this blog in the last day) who illegally use flashing or rotating lights while driving on the roads of Kansas. <br /><br />AFIK, there are only a few exceptions in Kansas law for use of amber flashers/kojak lights while moving. Oversize vehicles, tow trucks, and construction/utility workers are the ones that come to mind. On the roadside, it's a different story, but turn 'em off when the vehicle is in gear. There are even fewer exceptions for white.<br /><br />This is different than some of our neighboring states.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
