Berlin's Police not the best drivers

Here's an interesting little tidbit concerning the Berlin Police. It seems they are not the best drivers. In fact, they're so bad that they're having their fancy BMW police cars taken away and replaced with Volkswagens. Oops!

Expatica has the full story:
BERLIN - Police in the German capital are such bad drivers that they are losing their beloved BMW squad cars after having been involved in too many crashes, media reports said Wednesday.
At least 22 of the leased BMW 5 series estate cars have been totally demolished in accidents since the force took delivery of the vehicles in December 2002, said the Berliner Kurier newspaper.
Over 60 per cent of the crashes were the fault of officers behind the wheel, the paper added.
As a result, Berlin's cops are being downgraded in motor world and will in the future drive the slower and less sexy VW Touran van.
Naughty, naughty!

Ha ha, die armen Bullen (the poor pigs). Still, I find it hard to think of any kind of vehicle as "sexy". I'm just not that way inclined.

What on earth would make you assume that all the accidents were caused by MALE police officers? There was nothing in the article to suggest that. How sexist! (though you're probably exactly right! ) ;-)

I thought that it was hard to get a licence in Germany? It seems that the BMW 's were just to powerful for them.
