There is logo on the tow truck, it's legit. Most all wheel lifts like that have a built in attachment
for towing a trailer, he's also using the LED strobe on light bar.

I see WADOT using green lights on the freeway.
Yeah, and they are the ones holding court. I saw some today on WA DOT. I wonder when
the law changed----for years green was not approved, but I also see where some states
allow blues on a tow unit. Thing is--need to stay with Amber for movers and Amber/Red
for tow/emergency--next thing you know every lowboy in the country will be running
REDs---funny ones are the mass lights flashing with a 510 on a RNG.

I don't like them in fog for emergency use, I have nothing more than amber and red halogen
rotators on the tow unit, will show up in fog. Reds came off a fire truck.

Yes, Blue & red together used only on police here.

Have been seeing the green alternating with yellow as of late.
What are they thinking with a blinking/flashing green ?
