What do the traffic police carry in the boot?

[pmanson]

Always wondered what exactly is in the boot of a traffic police car.
Everytime I drive past one of the motorway it looks like an aladdins cave.

[tonyrec]

Phil - being that you are either in a

Rover 214
Nova

or

Espace

Id have thought youd have ample time to have a gander at the boots contents

Oh and my guess is 'speeders'

[roop]

Cones, adaptable signs and stands, flashing cats eyes, stinger, first aid kit, dry fire extinguisher, tow-rope, crow-bar, bolt cutters, brush, shovel, A-Z, silver blanket, seatbelt knife, tape measure, stopwatch, breatalyser, camera, binocs, tyre guage, tacho reader, symbol seeker (for hazardous spill identification), maglite, foreign phrase book.

Phew.

Roop

Okay, I owned a Nova (I was only 17 when I got it), I was loaned a Rover 214Si over last summer and when i'm back from uni I drive the old dears Espace.
Dave at least I don't look like a hairdresser in the Espace. I look like i've fathered 6 kids at a very early age instead LOL

I would have thought you looked more like one of those kids that get left in the car while mummy pops into Tesco to buy some Farleys Rusks

[drover]

Body Armour,
BioHazard suits,
Stinger,
a Lion,
assorted tow ropes,
A dogberry key ring,
Assorted Warning signs (ie 9c&6c Police Accident 3c Police Slow)
Magnums
Assorted bags (ie evidence, body bags, and the insulated ones to keep the pizza warm)
Blankets & MFA kits.
A tool box + Spares
Whistle

You could of course argue that not all TrafPol cars carry identical equipment (and it's not always in exactly the same place either....shock horror.)
Video equipment for example.


Sorry Tony losing the plot here..
You'd need lots of ACE stuff

[jeremyc]

Not as much as the T5 drivers if you've only got a BMW.
