Brakes of New Police Cars Don’t Function Properly


It has been found that the newest cars of the national police corps have brakes which do not function properly. This relates to Volvo diesel cars which can reach a speed of 215 kph. However the brakes do not meet the requirements of the police and spontaneously catch fire after being used at high speeds. As a result, the management of the corps has now given orders not to allow these cars to go faster than 140 kph. A spokesman has confirmed that policemen will not be permitted to use these cars for pursuits. Only older cars will be used for this purpose.
