not a problem if you follow the law.
yes, that is correct, but his point is that it makes a bad situation (heavy traffic) all that much worse because everyone slows way down when they see flashing lights (and they're supposed to, it's just another thing to add to the delay in rush hour).
Agreed. It has absolutely nothing to do with the law. They recently put up "aggressive driving enforcement" signs all over a stretch of road here. You know what it does? It makes everyone drive 5 to 10 miles UNDER the posted 45mph speed limit. That is NOT following the law. That is fucking things up for everyone. The same with blue lights. Traffic pretty much comes to a halt when anyone sees blue lights. That's the opposite of safe.
