AID unit- Assistance to Interstate Drivers, program started in the late 70's with special units that had the fuel transfer kit and other equip.

The California Highway Patrol slick tops have the same light configuration on the rear package tray. With the advent of LED technology, the lights are now much thinner and do not "Clutter" the package tray as much thus having more room for radar anntenea. Although the C.H.P. does not have that funny little light on top of the arrow-stik.

This is a great collection of State Police cars...but you are missing a few that would be a great addition to your page. I have some that you are welcome to if you want...

Thanks,

John

The study the Illinois State Police did showed that drunks are more likely to strike cars with strobe lights than cars with rotating lights. LED lights are a lot brighter and more visable than strobes.

I think the more important question is, "how can you see past all that junk on the dash?" heh. Four light heads, radar, probably a video camera... seems pretty crowded in there. :o)

I may be wrong about this but I am pretty sure Dallas PD never had or used Camaros in 1992. I believe their first Camaros were 1999s.

yep. sure. no problem. we'll get right on that. make sure you check your email soon.

My dearest Jimmy,

Kindly notice that my reply was based on your comment about the lights showing to the FRONT of the patrol car to which you voiced a concern. If your comment was directed toward an excess of lights behind the driver, how would he see them? They are behind him.

My reply also described the importance of being seen quickly while driving and overtaking slower and/or oncoming traffic. Therefore, the abundance of lights visible from the front of the automobile. It had nothing to do with a so-called "moth effect" that you mentioned and that really wouldn't even apply here if you think about it because unless the trooper's car was driving in reverse or facing the wrong way, the lights on the front of the car would not be visible to traffic from behind, which is what your "moth effect" is all about.

So in closing, I hope you as a civilian have become a little more aware of the use of multiple lights and how their luminescence contributes to the safety of the officers patrolling in the vehicles as well as the general motoring public along the highways and biways of this great land of ours.

And you're right. I didn't have to be a jerk about it. But, it's almost as much fun as talking down to you in this condescending manner like I am now.

Why do you think we have the "Moth effect?" It's because people stare at the stopped Patrol car, and aren't paying attention to what they are doing. BTW, that study was conducted on NIGHT time stops and discovered that effect, while there were no differences on Day time stops.

you don't have to be a jerk about it. I was just asking, I've never driven a patrol car, how am I supposed to know how the lights effect the driver.

As for the lights being safety for the trooper, what about the Moth Effect? The Illinois State Police did a study and found that police cars with flashing lights are twice as likely to be struck than units without flashing lights.
