I'm not trying to have a go here, is there genuinely a reason why they don't use their indicators? Because they really don't.

I find traffic cars do, but standard panda cars are generally as badly driven as any other by joe public.

Round my way they are often driven without lights at night let aloan indicators, mainly by the plastic police we seem to have everywhere so i spose you could say they are driven by the plebs public laugh
I live on a road that has a police station and a patrol base and TBH non prof police (IE community support officers) often do this, i often catch them taking up 2 parking spaces in the local Krispy Kreme or in a disabled spot in the local Tescos.

Strange, I've seen three today and all were using their idicators. Where do you live, the third world?

Are you anthropomorphising Police cars or dehumanising Police officers?

A Police car doesn't use its indicators because they are driven by people who don't use their indicators.

I had this theory that police cars don't use their indicators because when they're on the beat they don't know where they're going to go until the last second so they don't use their indicators to save from confusing people? If that makes sense?
