The AA has introduced red flashing lights to the rear of its breakdown‑recovery fleet to enhance road safety. The rollout of red flashing lights comes after a successful campaign by motoring organisations and recovery operators to be allowed to use ‘rear reds’ in a similar way to police and National Highways officers. 95% of our breakdown‑ and recovery‑fleet vehicles now have rear red flashing lights installed, and we are launching phase 2 of the project to make the lights even more effective by changing the light output and flash patterns, whilst still complying with regulations.
