Police car service schedule - BS?

[john2443]

Car for sale on Fleabay that says it was Government owned sasys For those in the know... all ‘Service’ vehicles, whether they be Government, Police, Ambulance, MOD or the like are serviced beyond belief. For example Police Vehicle have their Brake Fluid changed monthly and not just topped up.

Is anyone on here "in the know" - monthly brake fluid changes - meticulous servicing or Bull?

I would assume that the accident raised the insurance premium the following year.

Happy to be corrected on this but AFAIK government vehicles don't have insurance, HMG is big enough to self insure so just pays out themselves. This was certainly true at Land Registry not many years ago when I worked there, I don't imagine it's changed.

I can't imagine what the premium would be for police cars!

Interesting point - when police officers insure their private cars do they have to list accidents? Have you had any accidents in the last 5 years?... Yes 17, but 13 of them were intentional when I rammed other people off the road!
