End of California chase, with CHP Explorers

[HILO]

Overhead night view. Around the 2:30 mark, the CHP Explorers stop and go into park, all front lights go steady.

CHP has really adopted the less is best thinking for rear lights. :undecided:

Wow, that actually looked pretty effective! I like the Amber TA on the back, with the red and blue side/ corners flashing along with the steady burn up front. :thumbsup:

Is the wig-wag effect on the explorers coming from the fog lights?

Yes, this video CHP Unveils New Police Interceptor SUV Pursuit Vehicle « CBS Los Angeles was posted in another thread http://elightbars.org/forums/f80/chp-ford-explorers-52194/index3.html a few months ago. It's worth checking out.

I did like the donuts he was doing. lol


Oh, and I like the way the CHP have the lights set up, too. I think it's a very effective system and without seizure-causing flashing that I see around here all the time.

Even during the day, the new CHP setup is extremely effective. It is very bright, slow patterns - very easy to pick up on at a long distance. The white wig-wag fog lights are surprisingly effective for how low they are.

I like the siren tones they are using. Much lower pitch than the regular SmartSiren they used all these years with the Visions. I'm guessing it's a Whelen siren console?

The sirens are a Whelen package, before they were running Federal Signal PA500's, not smartsirens.

I had one come up behind me Code 3 a couple months ago on I-80 near Dixon. Long straight section of highway with miles of visibility, in bright sunlight. I saw him coming probably 1.5 to 2 miles behind me, and he was visible enough to catch my attention in the rear view, in moderate traffic. I was also very surprised at how well the fog lights grabbed your attention. I really like their slow steady flash pattern, too.

Nice to see uniformity in flash patterns. This "do what you like" bullcrap is just that: bullcrap.
