I use mine in New Jersey on my Willys pickup when I am plowing my driveway
snow out onto the street before I push it to the side.

I live on a busy county road and a dangerous turn. And the idiots drive way
too fast when it's dry, forget about the snow. Don't want to get clobbered.
So far, the police have not complained.

Like the man says, much rather get a ticket than attend my own execution.

Amber Lights are for emergency vehicles only, not MV.
