what do you mean covered

rsr72, Feb 19, 8:36am
Trying not to be noticed.

They are being serviced, making little police cars (o:

casper35, Feb 19, 8:42am
They have had yellow covers over them. So you cant see them.

cocabowla, Feb 19, 8:43am
off duty cars usually being driven to & from workshops or panel shops.

casper35, Feb 19, 8:52am
Well in that case there must be a lot going to the workshop this week.Several have passed through ashburton.

do a skid in front of them and see if they pull you over lol

Maybe they're rain coats to stop them getting wet

Getting 'patched over' !

or maybe they are new cop cars getting ready to go into service.

cocabowla, Feb 19, 8:22pm
must be why i said "usually" then !

the vehicle is out of service and the person driving may not be an officer.

petermcg, Feb 19, 9:57pm
That is the correct answer

normally in getting a service and the mechanic is not allowed to impersonate a police officer in anyway so if you have a look normally written on the cover (in aucks at least) not in service

gawd, it reminds me of the VN/VP commodores. I was an apprentice panel-beater, and yep, we had a "uniform" that had a light blue shirt. i was driving a police car (rear window was out, rust done) down to the a painter about 1km away, when a 3 car intersection accident happened in front of me. All hell broke loose, and man, they werent happy when i pointed out that i wasnt a cop, merely driving a police car.
