These days law enforcement vehicles are wall to wall flashing lights so
traffic sees them to yield or idiot drivers don't run into them when
they are stopped by the side of the road.

Of course, there's a valid argument to be made that these lights are
distracting and might actually *cause* more accidents than they avoid...
