it's due to all the simple folk buying a car purely for the £0 tax band. I say simple folk as road tax (or ved as someone will surely say:D) is the cheapest bill on a car, but vast amounts of people are swayed by it. I do think the current system is rather stupid. I liked the original one where it was something like above or below 1.6l.

My 1.6 Focus TDCI has zero per year tax rate. When I tell people this they think I should get off the road because I don't pay "road tax" similar how they tell cyclists to do this. :D

Just a non story. Police always have vehicles used in non-chase situations like for using to attend reports of crime etc.

Also why do they make electric cars to look so damn ugly? Why can't they just make say a normal like an Astra but electric?

It's a BMW and they are all kinda ugly. But yea they could be a nicer shape.

Surely any patrol car has to be ready to give it some beans though, they can't tell the crim to hold on while they call in a car with some range.

The fact it’s narrow and tall probably makes it perfect for urban use. A proper motorway pursuit will use gas turbines anyway... in the helicopter!

It's not long ago local bobbies would tootle about town in 1.1 Fiestas and Rover Metros. These weren't used for high speed Channel 5 police porn worthy pursuits.

The local units round here use 1l corsas. It's only the proper traffic police that have BMW and Skoda estates. Firearms use x5s.
 
The average cops in those i3s aren't even allowed to turn the blues & twos on. There are three tiers of police drivers, the usual detectivey types who just do house calls and whatnot, these are just average joes like you and me, the next ones up are the middle of the road guys who iirc are only allowed to use their lights in certain circumstances, and then there are the pursuit cops who are the hardcore drivers.

The ones in the red popo cars can do whatever they want, they're anti-terror cops.
