The thin green line

Thames Valley police are trying out the Mitsubishi i Miev as their next generation "green" squad car, but they've run into a tiny flaw: They can't use the blues and twos because it wears down the batteries.

Just as well. With a maximum range of 100 miles (if you're incredibly lucky), a top speed of 80 mph with a following wind, and an acceleration of 0 to 60 in... a while, the only motorists in fear of getting nicked by Thames Valley will be driving G-Wizs.
