YJ04 CCD Very rarely police vehicles are involved in road traffic collisions en-route to emergency calls. After passing through a red traffic light at a busy junction, this North Yorkshire Police Ford Focus was involved in a low-speed collision with a member of the public in a J-reg black Mazda. Colleagues are quickly on the scene to direct traffic and investigate the incident.

On the right of the picture is the motorist being breathalysed by a plain-clothed police officer. This is standard practice for all drivers in collisions. An officer can be in plain clothing at any time to make the requirement for a breath test, but must be in uniform to administer the test, unless it is after a road traffic collision.
