Do the police pay insurance ? What planet are you on ? 
Do you REALLY think that all these vehicles will be donated free gratis ?

It might be that the Police don't pay insurance in the same way we do. I believe that a Bond is posted against which any claims are settled.Do you REALLY think that all these vehicles will be donated free gratis ?
More cloud cuckooland talk.
But maybe you know different ?
And Yes, I do believe that there is a chance that Mitsubishi supplied the car as a test machine.
But maybe you know different ?
(MY editing in bold).The ins and outs of police insurance matter not. How much it costs the TAXPAYER does.
Maybe you don't pay taxes.
Perhaps you think the police are self-financing.

I was about to comment about the Q7 in Glasgow, but somebody beat me to it... A few years ago that was in the Scotsman, and the article mentioned the police fear that the gang it was taken from would be seeking prompt revenge. Don't think it's been seen much since then...
Also, as mentioned, in Edinburgh there a couple of police Smart cars. I openly laughed when I saw one; the men inside (2 fully grown men) didn't look too impressed.
I got a picture of one outside the Playhouse a while ago, apologies for the crap quality- iPhones and low light don't mix!Also, as mentioned, in Edinburgh there a couple of police Smart cars. I openly laughed when I saw one; the men inside (2 fully grown men) didn't look too impressed.

However, no road tax is charged on emergency vehicles. If you look closer at one, the value on the tax disc just reads: £NIL.
Thats typical. Instead of just saying the vehicle does not neet tax, they have to go to the bother of getting and displaying a tax disk which says nil. IanMorewood said:

1] Pushbikes ? The Police use them already.
2] There's no Road Tax on an EV. Very little maintenance. Insurance, do the Police pay Insurance ? I'm not sure they do.
3] Non-British product ? Can't see how the Police would benefit from driving a Morgan.
4] It's unlikely the taxpayer paid very much for this EV [ if anything at all ]
On a similar (different) note, my ex worked for the M.O.D in Forensics and her car was de-registered, meaning she neved got parking or speeding tickets. Nice perk... 2] There's no Road Tax on an EV. Very little maintenance. Insurance, do the Police pay Insurance ? I'm not sure they do.

MuahahaHaHa!!!
Meanwhile in America...
The old ('98-'02) Camaro is very common in Fairfax county near where I live and the un-marked silver Magnum (I've seen it in person- very sneaky!) is also owned by Fairfax county. I've also seen un-marked Camaros, billions of Chargers, all manner of SUVs, and an un-marked, white Mustang GT. The most clever I've seen is a stealthy, all black Chevy Silverado pickup truck. My county also took delivery of a Challenger SRT8 un-marked car, but I haven't seen that one yet. And that's just where I live! Out West, they used to have police package C5 Z06 Corvettes that GM used to build. I don't think GM makes a C6 police package.
All have 300bhp+ V8s and RWD or AWD.
You guys have a golf cart. That's priceless!
