I dont know about your state laws but in Pa, blue lights have to be registered with the state police. they do not give you the right away and you still have to obay all traffic laws. as for jrs having blue lights. no go. you get there when you get there. be safe. remember how many ff are killed in accdents each year.

If the "perason" is 17 and has a clean driving record? You mean after they've been driving for a whole year? How much driving experience does a 17 year old have?

I think its a great idea to have jrs rin blue lights, however i do see some problems with. Jrs are reckless inexpierienced drivers who hit the gas pedal a little two fast when the tones go off. No offense to anyone i am also a Jr. The way my dept works is upon evaluation by the chief you are allowed to run lights.
and in response to terry "juniors shouldn't even be allowed to carry flashlights===much less blue lights" dude chill out many adults shouldnt be allowed to run blue lights either they drive just as bad.

We do not allow members to respond with lights ect on there pov...Now Some of us do have lights on our pov we use then only on the side of the rd and to help the medics find the house at night. We are concidering allowing memebers to respond with lights after having a CEVO class. Red, White, Amber, Green, ECT no blue...Blue in ga is just for cops....BIG TICKET
