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.
