Yea umm who ever put that thought into your head was WAY wrong. They are right, it is a Felony regardless of age and you WILL be taken out of the car in a rather undelightful way if you was to get stopped. Wig-wags is ok IF your vehicle is parked but any type of flashing blue lights and sirens is a no winner for sure. Hope you thought twice.

I have to agree with Street Wolf. I wish it was like other countries where a license means something. You have to work hard to get it, it's expensive, for life, and you get more freedoms with it once you have it (harsh penalties though if abused).

And, no, you will not sit and play cards for a weekend for impersonating an officer. They don't take that one lightly anywhere I know of. Penalties I've seen for impersonating an officer were up to 5 years in prison, $1000+ min. in fines (not counting illegal use of equipment), probation, etc.

i no its a stupid thing to do and i will not do it but i would not be tryied as an adult. if u look at most minors that are tried as an adult they have done more serios crimes like murder mainly.

what is that suposed to mean? you have no idea how i drive. ive never been pulled over and ive never been in a reck. and more car reacks come from people who are 21-30 so y raise the age limit. and a test ten times harder would make no differnce.

Actually incorrect again. Drivers age 15-20 accounted for more police reported accidents (wrecks). The elderly ranked higher percentage wise for deaths, as they are more frail. Also, how would a test ten times harder make no difference? That makes no sense. Even if you still do the same illegal acts you are at least more skilled/knowledgable about the skills necessary.

We also don't get an Autobahn. Look at places like Germany. Must be 18. Written test can be 1800+ questions, multiple driving schools, first aid certification and kit in car, possibly in the thousands of dollars by the time you're finished, drivers are almost exclusively responsible in any pedestrian injury, etc., etc. On the flip side you have areas you can legally and safely drive 100 mph as well. Also, make sure you have the money on you to pay your ticket. If it is really small you might get a week, if it is larger you could be walking when they impound your vehicle. Thereby, as a result, it is generally respected and obeyed much more.

And sorry, but again you are wrong. Impersonating an officer can result in terror, danger to you and others, etc. Whether you have anything more than just the lights or not you can and ,in many places, will be tried as an adult. It is not looked upon as, "oops stupid teenage prank." It is a FELONY, that is not a minor offense last time I checked. It has led to some serious crimes throughout the country and is generally treated as such. Check your state for it's statutes as it will vary on what ages, sentences, etc.

I believe he was stating that opinion due to your seemingly immature/naive responses. Whether you drive like a model citizen or not, the responsibility just isn't there at your age.

Glad you decided it was a bad idea and good luck!

I am in no way against strobes used for show purposes (not blue or red, etc.). And I know of members that have warned traffic of accidents by blocking them and turning on their strobes until police arrived. Not the same thing.

These two statements right here prove you lack maturity and the brains to be driving a car, let alone one that has any sort of power.

You don't think you can be convicted as an adult becuase your only sixteen hm? You do realize what a Felony is right? Rape, murder, kidnapping..... impersonating a police officer...

Also, I could care less how you drive. The way you act and the fact that you even considered putting red and blues on your car and using them becuase it 'Would be Fun' gives me a good idea though.

Grow up kid.

I have seen kids tried for petty theft as adults, it's all in the attitude with the prosecutor, but a felony almost always is an adult crime

street wolf u were right about the fact that people 15-20 have the most accidents but most of those are nicks and scratches. the more serios fatle recks are from people 21-30 i wonder why? oh maybe beer? now 16 year olds are immature? i think asking the idea of flashing lights is a lot more mature then coming home from the bar and running a red light and killing a family of 4. and i can bet that the charge would be lowerd for a first afender minor. but i dont like arguing so can we just drop the subject because im not going to put them on so it doesnt matter

Not trying to still fan the flames here, but the quote above shows you are still not quite getting the point. The comments here were only meant to help show you it is not wise to do such a thing. You honestly can't weigh the two topics against one another cause they are two different things with different consequences.

For every choice there is a reaction. And every reaction will have a different consequence. The choice of wanting to put flahsing lights in you car will have different consequences than if you drove home drunk and killed a family of 4. But one wrong does not make another wrong more right. I do understand what you are trying to say, but I do not think a court of law would grant such an argument.

I dealt with the law and the enforcement of the law for 8 years, so I have a bit of knowledge into how it works. While the idea sounds really cool, and hell even I thought about that when I was younger, but never did until I became a Volunteer Fire Fighter at 18 did I ever do such a thing. Even then you were bound by State and Federal laws governing you on how and when to use your emergency lighting.

I don't think honestly anyone was knocking your over all maturity except to point out certain flaws in your logic. If anything it was only meant to help and not hurt. No one here wants to see you goto jail or juvie hall for something as stupid as that. But those are real consequences you to take when you consider such actions.

We always have choices to decide what is right and what is wrong. At least you made the choice not to do it. I think that was the wise choice indeed.

actually, the last few comments seemed to be insulting. He's been convinced to not do the lights, but teh posts keep coming. If he ain't gonna do it, it's all done.
Just had to add. ^___^
