SERVICE VEHICLE SAFETY BAR
First Claim
1. Where as it is well documented that the most dangerous situations faced by Police Force and Safety Service personnel is when they are assisting citizens on the highways;
- that the flashing red and blue lights of a police vehicle mesmerizes drivers, which causes them to veer towards the lights instead of away from them, so this phenomenon makes for a potentially very dangerous situation; and
that the flashing yellow lights calm a driver by warning them of a potential danger, which causes then to anticipate receiving further instructions;
therefor a Service Vehicle Safety Bar is designed to reduce the mesmerizing effect of flashing red and blue lights by;
incorporating flashing yellow arrows and to give instruction and direction to oncoming drivers to slow down and move over;
such that as a vehicle approaches a safety vehicle using the Service Vehicle Safety Bar the device gives them visual direction and instruction to slow down and move to another lane;
thereby the Service Vehicle Safety Bar adds a layer of protection for the Police Force and the Safety Service personnel when they are assisting citizens on the highways.

A light system that utilizes a wiring harness assembly equipped with flashing directional arrows (<<<), the word SLOW or a combination of both. This light bar is mounted to a traveling device that allows the light bar to be extended beyond the parameters of its own frame to either the drivers side or the passengers side of the vehicle to which it is mounted. The unit can be mounted to the vehicle permanently or via a dual mount hitch and receiver system (i.e. the hitch can be mounted just inside the rear wheel wells where the under frame allows). The hitch and receiver system is comprised of dual female receptacles mounted to the vehicles frame inside the wheel wells where body type allows with male tongs fitting snugly into the receptacles secured with a locking device.
