Green light in private ambulance light bars! (Not IC)

[SCP01]

Over here the only warning colour permitted are blue, amber & green, red cannot be used for forward or side facing lights. Green beacons & lightbars are for use of doctors (ambulances have blue lamps however) but I believe green does not permit priority over other road users...
