Police in Glasgow have unmarked white Peugeot 308 and I think a silver Kia of some sort.

In East Riding of Yorkshire the police have / had getting old now a fleet of petrol protons something like 1.6 petrol.

Nice to see not wasting money on flash motors.

I spoke to a friend of a friend and he actually said they handled a lot better than the newer Astras they are getting replaced with. So much so Astras have had to have alloys fitted for larger tyres.

Most are sticker end up but they did have a black and a silver couple of stealth cars.

Not very stealth mind as none else owns one !

Had a strange 'experience' last night and wondering if it's a police car.

Dark blue or black, Volvo V70 estate, it was on the A9 Perth bypass southbound to Broxden.
I noticed it in my rear mirrors and something didn't look 'right', seemed to be a light around/just below its rear-view mirror. A car joining on the slip road diverted my attention when it was getting closer and it burst past me quickly, possibly to clear slip-road and allow me to pull to lane 2 if required, it wasn't.
Due to the joining car I never had a chance to see the occupant(s) or look into the car, but noticed as it as past me that it had an extra light in the rear window. It looked like a high level brake light but this was at the bottom of the tailgate window and it had a high level one at the top. Also had a dog/luggage guard in the boot.

But, it was a private reg, V70 SCO.

It stayed in Lane 2 with lane 1 empty travelling in excess of the NSL, but not by by very much. I stayed at 70 as did everyone behind me, who the Volvo had previously overtaken, who earlier were travelling faster. At Broxden it stayed in lane 2 and took the M90, and eventually turned off at Bridge of Earn. It slowed down a bit before the junction but not enough to enable me to get alongside to have a look.

Just something about it didn't seem normal so was wondering if anyone else has seen it or knows if it is a cop car?

Won't be a cop car with private plates.
Sounds like a typical Volvo estate middle lane hogger with dashcams front and rear to prove to himself that he is a safe driver and it's everyone else's fault!

RJ11 PLZ - Spotted this again today on the A78 @ Irvine.

Online checks still show it having no current MOT.

Was nearly posting about an unmarked white X6 that came flying past me earlier on M74.
But just heard about the accident at M&Ds and it came off here so assume a firemaster or suchlike!

Wonder if that would give grounds for appeal against any charges / points that someone had received?

Police cars don't require them.

Black Volvo, V40 i think, in the Aberdeenshire area. Didn't get the reg, was a bit preoccupied.

Got pulled over on the A96 yesterday coming home from work mad Completely my own fault, went past at 85 (they got me on their gun too), not having a clue I was passing a police car.

Spotted the blue lights coming from quite a while back so I pulled into the left lane (I was about to go past some lorries) to let them past so to not hold them up, they seemed in a bit of a hurry! Had that horrible feeling in my stomach when they too pulled into the left lane.

After watching plenty of traffic police type programs, I was surprised they didn't breathalyse me, or quiz me about insurance etc. Just gave me my ticket and I was on my way. Lesson learnt, felt like a right prick sat in a lay-by with blue flashing lights.
AF64 maybe? Me too...

Yep, have a look at the V112 form from the DVLA. Police vehicles are exempt, provided they're maintained within an approved workshop.
