In between bashing Sandman, he actually makes a good point. My aunt and uncle never seem to have an answer for that one. They just seem to think that since they can't be ticketed, it is OK. Of course, my uncle has pulled over and ticketed a few local police officers (in civillian cars and marked cruisers) who were quite angry that flashing a badge did not get them out of their tickets. He won't do that unless the person is extremely in violation (i.e. 100/55 or something equally stupid). Sort of hypocritical if you ask me.
Point being, the police should be setting an example for the civillians to follow and they don't always.
