Characters
- Buddy – a young pickup truck with various removable accessories, and the main character of the show as well as Daisy's best friend. He loves to help out his friends with magic. He has a yellow livery with the red B on both doors and he has a red circle with a red B for his nose. His catchphrase is, "It's Magic Time!". He is voiced by Charlotte Bellamy.
- Daisy Do-right – a small 'panda car' police car who is Buddy's best friend. She works with the police and hates it when her Sleeping Policemen fall asleep on patrol (they have narcolepsy). She is responsible for giving do-right duties to characters who do silly things. She also loves to visit the field full of daisies. She has a white livery with pink and orange checkers on the sides and she has a daisy for her nose. Just like Buddy, she is voiced by Charlotte Bellamy.
- Half-Pint – a small, young, and shy milk float. He now likes sleeping in the dark and can be afraid of other things. In the episode "King of the Road", Half-Pint gets bullied by Hot Rodney about being slow, whilst in the episode "Midnight Monstering", he could not sleep last night due to his broken night light. He is voiced by Emma Tate.
- Hot Rodney – a brash, naughty, and reckless hot rod car. In the episode "Building Block Blunder", he shows a helpful side by shunting the building blocks to allow Buddy and Hot-Air to get free after the blocks had collapsed. He has teal livery with flames. He is voiced by Chris Jarvis.
- Hot Air – a strange 3-wheeled vehicle "bug", resembling a balloon on wheels. He travels around Dream Street by driving in reverse and communicates by making noises of a whoopee cushion. He is sometimes very naughty. In the episode "Check Up", he was tricked by Jack and Rodney that he has the case of the "Spotty Botty Bug". Also, in "Beep Beep!!" he takes Rodney's air horn and soon enough Buddy gets him one too.
- Jack Hammer – a pneumatic drill, who can be mischievous like Hot Air and Rodney. In "Building Block Blunder", he ties Hot Air to a lamp post to trick Buddy into thinking he had broken down, which ends up causing an accident that leaves both Buddy and Hot Air trapped in a mess of collapsed building blocks. He wears a blue cap on backwards. He is voiced by Dave Benson Phillips.
- The Wild Bunch – a group of traffic cones which like to cause nothing but trouble.
- Ice Cool – a laid-back and relaxed ice cream van that has a large ice cream cone quiff, who likes to help out serve ice creams to his friends. He is voiced by Dave Benson Phillips.
- The Sleeping Policemen – pedestrian crossings literally consisting of slumbering police constables covered with striped blankets. Their respective names are PC Snooze, PC Snore, and PC Nod Off. They work with Daisy very well and are always very lazy. They sometimes don't pay attention to what they are doing. PC Snooze has pastel green skin with a deep Cockney accent, PC Snore has pastel peach skin with a Birmingham accent, and PC Nod Off has pastel lavender skin with a high Yorkshire accent. They are all voiced by Russ Abbot.
- The Gossips – a pair of traffic lights respectively named Scarlet & Amber who like to make the road safe and sometimes cause serious accidents. They are smart and responsible too. They are both voiced by Chris Jarvis.
- Tech – a grey mechanical robot whose magical powers enable Buddy to take on different roles. He is voiced by Russ Abbot.
- Other characters include two unnamed small three wheeled cars. One has a red and yellow livery and the other has a red and blue livery.
