Slow down" It's the fuzz.
In a former life I worked for a coach firm. One of the company cars was a white Ford Granada. There was an extra aerial as it had a two way radio installed and as the Granada was the car of choice for the local constabulary at the time it could easily be confused for an unmarked police car, especially when you are wearing the company uniform including epaulettes.
Other motorists would often slow down when they saw you. Only problem was the speedometer never worked which made using other cars to judge your speed a little tricky. Even had to drop down to third on the motorway as car overtook me and slowed down so much.
That wasn't my biggest complaint about the car though. That was the clutch. Biting point so high your knee was level with your ear and extremely heavy as a fitter had decided to use a spring meant for use in a full size coach in a repair.
