Yesterday was an extremely bright day and I was out driving. I had a cop come up behind me really close. He wasn't driving that fast, but then he started to get annoyed driving behind me. I looked to see if his lights were on, but from what I could see they didn't appear to be on at all and there only was one lane with no shoulder and a deep muddy ditch so if I didn't need to, I really didn't want to put my freshly washed car in the ditch. It wasn't until he passed me on the wrong side of the road and got under a shadow that I could see his lights were on. I feel really bad because I looked to see if his lights were on and they weren't and he wasn't driving that fast. Normally I pull over right then and there and stop my car and wait for him to pass. About a minute later there was another car coming up behind me really fast with lights AND sirens going. I didn't really see the lights that well, but because the siren was going I knew that the lights were on.
I don't ever have this problem with strobe light bars, so I was wondering if you as police officers find that the rotator lights aren't as visible as they should be and if people not being able to see them during bright day light is a common thing.
I'm just glad I didn't get pulled over later for failure to yield to an emergency vehicle.
