The police everywhere drive like maniacs both off and on duty; they are part of the culture which thinks driving like an idiot is par for the course. Because of that they look the other way on way to many things. Look at most TV shows and a good many movies and driving irresponsibly is part of what cool people do. People do think they're invincible in their little cars dispute their dead friends who have all died in auto accidents. I don't find driving fun. I like to get where I'm going alive. That's fun. Being alive is fun. Being dead would get old fast. Getting messed up bad might be worse. Disfigurement; not my cup of tea. They'll crack down on crazy driving when they're in the mood some politicos kid will get clobbered head one from somebody texting or cell phoning or GPS ing when they should be looking out their front windshield. I had a good drivers end teacher. Put the fear of god into me. Mark William Rabiner
