Never, ever upset a Swedish traffic cop.

I always thought the Swedish police only used Volvos to be patriotic. However, they choose them because, like us, they know how safe they are when decisive action is needed.

Police brutality or an effective way of stopping a drug dealer? Whatever, Volvo came out on top again. :D

That's why we drive them. 8)

My son, whose hobby is collecting models of emergency service vehicles and knows just about all there is to know about international livery and markings, has pointed out that this Volvo must have been used like this before. The front left side wing (UK), fender? (US) should be blue so is obviously a replacement.

I love how the cop looks calm, cool, and collected while he's pinning an Audi's shoulders to the ground. :lol:

Were he driving an American car or a Japanese import, he could have been killed...But noooooo....instead, he's just going to be pissed about his flat tire for a few days, haha.
