By way of illustration, the B.C. Motor Vehicle Act allows the use
of the flashing yellow light, whether rotating or strobe, only on
vehicles which represent a stationary road-hazard such as
a tow-truck picking up a disabled vehicle, or a highways crew
off on the shoulder. Reality is a bit different, however, as slow
moving public service vehicles and private tow companies tend
to use the flashing yellow on the move regardless.
