You got that right, stik! I've driven in just about every large metropolitan area in the US, and EVERYBODY drives the same way in all of them! Including me at times! Propeller 

The best high-traffic area to drive in would be Indianapolis (my opinion), and it's a tie for worst - Atlanta, Boston, and the Baltimore-Washington, DC, area. I've driven in LA a few times, and it's not as bad as I've heard. Detroit probably has the worst roads to drive on, though.......

DD: Lo-Vis markings are somewhat common in high crime precincts, they are also used for traffic enforcement.

Yep, I've seen many lo-vis police schemes before, just not like this. Wish I had thought to take a picture, but then I would've gotten a ticket for taking a picture, while driving, of an unmarked/lo-vis police cruiser. I'm sure there are other laws I would've broken by taking that picture.............

No but I always giggle when I see a stripped down Crown Vic with black steel wheels and a shaved head guy driving it.

Better to have a fast Tornado.

I have seen some "low profile" vehicles with different agencies around here. Not "slick cars", but not traditional Black & Whites either.

I haven't seen that particular color, but the local police here in Olive Branch has (or had) a black Crown Vic with matte black decals, rather than the full color decals. No light bar on top either. Not quite sure why they felt the need to do that.

New Paint Scheme On The Sheriff's Cars In North Carolina
Posted by Devil Dawg on Thursday, February 6, 2014 3:58 PM

Yesterday (05 Feb 2014), I saw a new Dodge Charger of our county's (Union County in North Carolina) sheriff's department sporting a low-visibility paint scheme - the car was bright white, with very light gray sheriff's department markings, and no external lights. It was almost like it was meant to be a military paint scheme. It made me look twice, because, at first, I thought it was an unmarked cruiser. Anybody seen this scheme before?
