Police cars get secret ‘blue light boost’ every three months
What keeps police lights blazing bright?
Here’s a shocker – every three months, police vehicles go through a hidden maintenance routine that most of us have never heard of. It’s all about keeping those iconic blue lights sparkling at peak brightness during life-or-death chases and emergency 999 calls.
The secret sauce: Blue2Run
Inside police forces, they top up a special liquid called Blue2Run in the blue light reservoirs on top of their patrol cars. This exclusive blend, crafted solely by automotive giant Halfords, is the magic ingredient to keep those blue beams blazing bright and clear when it matters most.
Why it matters: Words from the cops
“Many people are unaware of the meticulous upkeep required to keep police vehicles operating at peak performance,” says Chief Inspector Emma Bright, head of vehicle maintenance at a metropolitan police force. “The Blue2Run solution is vital to ensure emergency responders remain visible and instantly identifiable to the public.”
Halfords: Proud makers of Blue2Run
Halfords, long known for its car care products, confirms it’s behind the Blue2Run mix. Spokesman Mark Wheeler said: “We take great pride in supporting law enforcement with innovative solutions to boost public safety. Blue2Run is specially formulated to meet police standards so their blue lights shine brightest when every second counts.”
