    See it quite a bit around the Holden dealership in West Auckland when the cop cars are being serviced.

    I used to road test Cop cars with the lights flashing.Too many stupid mechanics doing stuff like that and they make a new rule.

    Yep.... means the mechanic is driving it to/back from a service or doing a road test as part of the service.

    Saves confusion - the public may expect the driver to be a cop - which they ain't.

    We used to service the RTs on the cop bikes in Palm Nth some years ago and got caught riding one around the showroom with the lights going. Oops sorry officer
