Odd one- m1 j40ish this morning a white 1 series R999 KA* - obv private plate with a lady driving who had no discernible uniform on but the car had the blue lights nestling in the kidney grilles and the front facing lights on the dash. Got off at junction 41 but didn't turn in to the police station, she went further up and turned left up towards the ambulance trust. Maybe not a police car, but why would any of the other emergency services have a need for such a vehicle? Unless it's someone's private vehicle in which case are they allowed to kit it out like a unmarked police car? Very confusing!
Some NHS managers have covert blues fitted to their cars.
Blurb here if you get insomnia..... ;-)

Is the same true for senior plod officers? On the m1 coming into Leeds yesterday I spotted a grey V70 and as I passed him I noticed he had the telltale white shirt with black police officer shoulder boards on. When he was behind me I noticed there were blue lights in the grill but none of the other gear you'd see on a normal patrol car. Higher ranking officer on his way to work?

Dark blue BMW reg YY63 ---- no signage all lights concealed very busy around Bridlington today Saturday 21st February , saw him pull three cars one being taken away on a low loader ( elderly couple ) looked glum walking away.
I think that might be the same one being a very, very fair police officer on the A1 on Wednesday morning. I noticed him JUST as I went past him at *cough*mph on the A1 following another car. He pulled out behind me, flashed his blues then continued to do the same to the car in front of me. He then pulled in front of both of us and carried on driving along.Every time another car went to fly past him he just gave them a warning flash of his rear blues and carried on. I think that made a lot more difference on the road than if he had just pulled over one of us!
