If you read the law as listed below, it very clearly states that any
'hazard vehicle' can run an amber light. It almost so much as states
that a 'hazard vehicle' is required to use said light. This is where
lately private snowplow contractors doing driveways have been getting
ticketed in my area for not using an Amber light. I would think that a
slow moving MV on an Interstate is most certainly a 'hazard vehicle'.
As for me, I use an amber light anytime I am doing anything that I
consider 'stupid' in the road. :-) For me that even includes towing my
bulldozer, as generally I am going quite slow, and would prefer people
to stay farther away. I know most troopers and sheriffs around here
would encourage such behavior.

Amber Lights are for emergency vehicles only, not MV.
