@eurodaily There was an earlier wrong-side down a Dual Carriageway followed by a wrong-way down an on-slip into a small market town (Cowbridge); which required several Police vehicles at once to stop traffic. P Also a contingency against one of the loads breaking down/becoming separated. Police escorts are drawn from Officers on rest days so have no impact upon policing.

Fantastic Video. Fantastic comments too. All informative and helpful for members of the public too. I would love to be an escort driver but its not the sort of job you come across in the local press

@roadpilots Cool, thanks for the forum link thing :-). There does seem to be a few problems with lighting actually, I sometimes see reflective blue markings on non-police vehicles, for example. It's a lot more consistent than the laws in North America though...

I would not want to be that first police bike at 0:40. Wrong side of the road on a bend, and hidden from view by the transit van. Even with the blues on it looks a bit risky.

Yep :D

Is it legal to have wig-wag lights on an escort vehicle? I'm pretty sure those can only be used on emergency vehicles...

@04smallmj - there are widespread issues with current lighting regulations which have barely changed in decades. Not just in Abload Escorting but also recovery, blue-light services such as mines rescue, mountain rescue, bomb disposal, transport for transplant/blood etc etc. It's a much debated subject on several industry sector forums (eg HATO 'National Traffic' forum - search for 'flashing headlamps')
