Our police cars have both red and blue lights.  Again, very intense.

And don't get me started on headlights.  When I become king, I will
ban HID lights from cars, and bring back the old standards for headlight
aiming and intensity.

It's a bit of consolation that I've figured out how to aim my side
mirrors so that if I'm being followed by someone with bright headlights,
they get a dose of their own medicine.  It discourages tailgating, too.
