I'm not sure of the status of the law, but I know that if a police man sees neons in the UK, he/she will stop you as they are a distraction to other road users. I hate them anyway

Motor Grade N20 has an additive that prevents substance abuse by moron Junkies so I can't see a problem with selling it. - Medical grade on the other hand should be restricted.

Neons:- The only colour light you are allowed to show from the rear of a car is RED. Red may not shine from any other part of the car. A lady was prosecuted for having a blue flashing christmas tree light thing on her dashboard on the grounds she could be mistaken for a police car.

It is generally accepted that NEONS are for show purposes only and should not be used on the road - Different forces enforce the law differently.

im sure i read somwhere that nitrous is legal IF it is only fitted and not armed for use. but WTF!!!! what would be the point? i dbout the government would "trust" us not to use it.

BTW i DONT know if this is accurate so dont take my word for it. unless you like prison.

oh and the police round manchester are not that bothered about neons as long as you turn 'em off if your told.
