hi Paul332, i doubt it is legal as it's a flashing light, it does'nt say anything in the listing about "e" marking so i would say you will get pulled, seems a good idea and it may well work.

I would say no IN MY OPINION because when you brake it should be a static red light .I WOULD SAY that it would breach the road traffic act on flashing red lights OR WHAT EVER IS CALLED
Flashing reds are for emergency vehicle use only
AGAIN MY OPINION AND AS I SEE THE RULES OF THE ROAD
