I havent used one myself, but it sounds like a pretty sweet idea.  I guess you mean that you could put it in your windscreen or rear window while parked?  I figure there will be some law governing flashing lights on a moving vehicle.

Otherwise, it would be funny to see the carnage you would leave behind you as the drivers all reach for a pen to get you tel num. ;)

Good Thinking Graeme

Road Traffic act states RED LIGHTS are only to be displayed at the REAR of a vehicle

You could always put it in your windscreen when cleaning with a message such as "come and ask for a quote" or something along those lines, my brains not in gear yet!

Sometimes people have got to be prompted to come and ask.
