Achtung Kolonne Sign

Post by Dubmatix » Wed Dec 31, 2008 1:45 pm

The firestation gave me one of these convoy signs which i believe is for bumper mounting, anyone else got one? Does it go on the front? (Roland might know this one!) :D

I actually know these 'caution convoy' signs. They are for bumper mounting indeed. Got one myself (thanks to a fire fighter comrade also named Roland).

It goes on the back of the last vehicle of a convoy but is only recommended, not compulsory; in contrast to the flagging, driving with dimmed headlights and blue lights on in case of the 1st and last vehicle.

Thanks Roland, I thought you might know! Would it have come with rubber straps?

No, it's light grey leather straps with a belt buckle.

Was looking at these... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sweet-Womens- ... 2313fbae0b
as you do...but i think they are a bit thin. Cheap though! I think the others are about 20mm?

EDIT, just noticed they are plastic...grrr!
