No BS approved front light? Illegal.

Incorrect.

OK - no BS /or equivalent/ approved front light. But... if you ride with rechargeable lighitng
systems which do not meet the BS you are on shaky ground - I have discussed this at length with
Chris Juden. Merely having a CE mark means nothing (as we probably all know) - it must be marked as
meeting the local road vehicle lighting regs in an UE country.

However, I was referring (clumsily) to the proposal option B4 in the RVLR amendment consultation to
allow the replacement of any mandatory lamp with a flashing LED of the correct colour.

Mrs Thatcher was responsible for this I gather

Not as far as I understand it, she was just PM at the time; it was an EU initiative.

If the light is not approved for use in any EU country *then* it is illegal.

Road use, note - as I say the CE mark is worthless.

Why? As long as they are approved in an EU country.

It must meet the regulations in an EU country. Marking is a separate issue.

She could have vetoed the whole thing. From memory one of the many things the Single European Act
did was to agree to the proposal for Qualified Majority Voting, amongst many other things.
