Anyone in the UK know what this thing was I saw on the motorway yesterday, at the side of the carriageway ..?

there was a car, white, with lights on top, it had a yellow stripe up the side, and a man wearing a peaked hat was sat inside. alseep I think, I have been driving for years and never seen such a sight!

Answers:
It was certainly not one of our dedicated and diligent police officers.They may enjoy a bit of 'dogging' whilst on duty but sleeping on the job..never.
Ahhhhhhhh. Bless.
Nik,Nik !
An albino police car or probably a motorway maintenance worker they are always asleep
breakdown patrol vehicle
I wonder if it was a 'blast from the past'?? i drive all the time and I have never seen anything like this either, when you find out let us know, wonder which motorway you never said.
If the lights were orange, then it would either have been a private security patrol vehicle or highway maintenance. If the driver was asleep, then the Police will pull up and give the driver a warning or ticket.
I hope this isn't a trap?
You do refer to colour? Is that still allowed these days?

My best guess it is the lead vehicle looking for other vehicles flying yellow flags.
Called the Yellow Duster it is the International flag to show there is plague on board.

I think we allready have it.
You name it we have it in spades.
The lesser yellow striped, idle bastard( very common )
Sounds like motorway maintenance?
