This bill would allow wrecker trucks to use flashing blue lights, but only when they are stopped at the scene of an accident or breakdown to remove a vehicle or debris from the road. Blue lights could not be used while a wrecker is actively towing a vehicle down the road. The change is intended to improve safety visibility at roadside recovery scenes. Who it may affect: wrecker and towing operators, and motorists who pass roadside recovery scenes.
