That’s twice. A policeman tells you to get out of the car, points a gun at you when you don’t obey and you try to run him down. The policeman is supposed gto get out of your way??
That is not the way it works nor should it me. Save your pity for people who don’t flaunt the law.
If she was willing to drive at a policeman she needed to be stopped. It was her choice to die.

Flaunt and flout are two words that are often confused. According to Merriam-Webster, “flaunt” means “to display or obtrude oneself to public notice” while “flout” means “to treat with contemptuous disregard” 1. So, if you want to show off something, you should use “flaunt.” If you want to openly ignore or defy a rule or convention, you should use “flout.” I hope that helps!
