And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

The cars of Greek police and coastguard in the island of Halki. The model is Citroen Ami and they are the smallest cars on active duty by law enforcement in Europe.
Legally, it's a quadricycle not a car. Like a moped, it can be driven by teenagers (or mobility-challenged seniors) who don't have a driver's licence. It has a top speed of 28mph, and a very short range on its battery. It does make sense in the old towns and cities of Europe where the streets are the width of an ox-cart. Al_in_Ottawa
