What is this strange looking vehicle?

Where I live we see some strange sights sometimes. I saw this a few days ago when I drove off of Padre Island and as I came back toward home I got my camera ready and took some photos. Have you ever seen anything quite like this?Please notice the yellow car up ahead. Most normal automobiles are not painted that color.What do you suppose the purpose may be?

That color usually is found restricted to certain types of automobile.

As we get closer we are able to see more detail of the car parked between the traffic lanes. It is yellow, but there is more to it than that. I am interested in your opinion as to why it looks the way that it does. Please give me your best guess.The most obvious answer may be correct, or there may be much more to this than it seems.This may not exactly belong in our technology section, but it is an interesting puzzle and it does involve technology.

  • It is the only one I have ever seen. Still I suppose it could be useful if up ahead of you on the side of the road, it was parked with radar transmitter pointing backwards to oncoming cars. It would surely make some people really apply the brakes when they saw what the car actually was.
  • Looks funny. :)..Is it practised in Texas, only?
  • Now they are putting signs at places where alcohol is served.
    They say if you are drinking, choose your ride with a photo of a taxi and a police car.
    They are parking this car as a reminder that you can have 2 choices on how to leave the club.
  • First we thought it was to trick approaching drivers by looking like a Taxi.
  • A taxi and police in one face? ..some assumptions:

    1. In day time they are police, in the evening - a taxi.

    2. This is a special free taxi for police officers only.

    3. Or for civilians also whose car got in an accident or evacuated, and so this car takes them home or a police station.
  • This is the front view that I photographed as I passed by it....
    I found it to be very interesting.
