Looks Like Gardaí Are Going To Be Driving Around In BMWs Very Soon

Garda cars could be totally revamped in the next few months to brand new electronic BMW i3s. The new Garda cars will be put through a test run as a first step to explore the benefits of electric vehicles. If the provisional introduction goes well, the electric cars could be introduced nationwide.

Yep, Gardai around the country will be spinning around in top of the range cars...
