BarrieB, what the hell is this? Are British police cars sponsored by Ikea?

It keeps people from running into them.

It's pretty hard to see most American police cars. A lot of them are drab colors so that they can hide behind billboards and catch speeders. The British use photo radar instead.

In New York the idiots would hit them anyway from staring at the strange colors.

Ooo...colors. Pretty colors.

And, for the record, we'd hit 'em for target practice.

The colour scheme is so the coppers don't try & drive off in a civilian's car.
