Ground Vehicles
Road police vehicles in the United Kingdom are generally painted white or silver, although silver has become more common due to the perceived higher resale values after police use is finished. Vehicles are then usually marked with retroreflective livery on the sides and rear. These markings may take the form of a simple blue, yellow or red stripe down the side of the vehicle, or high-visibility battenburg markings (with blue and yellow the accepted Home Office colours for police use). Some carry slogans, the force crest and/or advertisements for police initiatives.

Famous quotes containing the words ground and/or vehicles:
“The high that proved too high, the heroic for earth too hard,
The passion that left the ground to lose itself in the sky,
Are music sent up to God by the lover and the bard;
Enough that he heard it once; we shall hear it by and by.”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
“Television programming for children need not be saccharine or insipid in order to give to violence its proper balance in the scheme of things.... But as an endless diet for the sake of excitement and sensation in stories whose plots are vehicles for killing and torture and little more, it is not healthy for young children. Unfamiliar as yet with the full story of human response, they are being misled when they are offered perversion before they have fully learned what is sound.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
