Ford Tourneo Traffic Car - M6

[bigwheel]

M6 Southbound today about Manchester area there was an un-marked metallic brownish Ford Tourneo (I think) with blacked-out windows dealing with a stranded car on a live lane.
Lots of hidden blue strobes flashing
No way would I have expected a vehicle of that type (full sized transit) being a Traffic Car.

There's also an RS3 traffic car flying around. Went tearing past me on my way to Bury the other day with all the lights going. Not a chance I would have noticed it had the lights not been on.

The Transit is not an approved Traffic car, and no use as one anyway. It will be used for covert operations. The truth of the matter is they were probably just helping out a broken down motorist before a serious accident occurred.

What about the blue strobes?

All unmarked police vehicles need to be fitted with full emergency blue lights and sirens. If things really hit the fan, that transit may have to block a road off, or fight its way through heavy traffic to get to an incident. It doesn't matter about it being a super secret covert vehicle, it can always be changed for another one. Unmarked vehicles attending an incident will be replaced by marked vehicles as soon as possible.

Also we don’t have RS3s in Manchester we do have the new S3s though it was more than likely one of them,if not it’s an imposter.
