ever been pulled over? it can make the diff between your being on time for work, or being late for an appointment. the cops take thier sweet time checking out your license, registration, insurance, etc. a traffic stop WITHOUT a ticket can cost you a half hour. God help you is you don't have enough tread on your tires.
do you want to be subjected to this every time you drive just because SOME people don't like teenagers driving?
yes, being stopped by the cops IS A hassle. but don't worry, most cops will find SOMETHING to write you up for - just to make it worthwhile.
Yes I've been pulled over, but I also live in a very diverse and very heavily policed neighborhood. Being pulled over seems like it might interfere with some kids schedule some of the time so it would take some discernment but if it really is a reward, that is going to take seconds, just like when the cops hand out tickets to the game in my hood.
