There is nothing quite like those cold fingers of fear grabbing a hold of your intestines and giving them a good, chilly squeeze when you round the corner and see blue lights flashing, now is there?
How many times have you been driving along, minding your own business, perfectly legal, not speeding, registered, inspected and insured, only to reflexively stomp on the brake pedal just because you see a patrol car coming the other way?
It’s automatic. Happens to the best of us.
Nobody likes to get pulled over. It’s perfectly fine when the police want go after real criminals but being a law-abiding motorist, when the cops come after us, it’s just a real pain in the rear.
Police know this and the fact is, most of them would rather not do traffic duty. It’s a drag knowing everybody you meet doesn’t want to see you.
The annoyance factor is great, but the rewards are greater.
Taking a single drunk driver off the road greatly improves the public’s odds of surviving the game of automotive Russian Roulette most of us play everyday.
