When we had radios we'd call a car 13 if there was trouble, it goes out on a data head now I believe activated by a button on the head unit, personally I have my own legal non lethal arsenal having almost coshed a runner some years ago, you'd be suprised what you can find in the chemist that does one thing on the tin and another in a cab. |

We would probably get done for displaying a light of the wrong colour. |

I think someone did invent something like a flashing light, and it was promoted in some of the trade mags. But things that costs money seldom sell to the taxi/PH trade.

I think it's quite a good idea and providing the cost was not too great I'd certainly consider it. Do you think I could have one in pink 
The advantage of this would mean that passing police and other taxis would also be aware of a situation and not just the drivers on the system that you work. Also not all taxis have radios so it would be helpful for them too

Not a bad idea except that it will probably stay on the car for ever as well. |
