But if you were behind someone doing 61 in a 60, and you knew the cops in the area did that, you might feel a little safer if you were drunk. Might even drive home through that guy's area intentionally, because he's always got some guy pulled over for doing 61. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shotgun 1 #79 July 16, 2012 QuoteNope. But if you were behind someone doing 61 in a 60, and you knew the cops in the area did that, you might feel a little safer if you were drunk. Might even drive home through that guy's area intentionally, because he's always got some guy pulled over for doing 61. A cop who pulls people over for doing 1MPH over the speed limit is likely the type of cop who will pull someone over for any tiny infraction. Plus, they are able to pull more than one person over at a time. So, if I wanted to drive drunk, I'd probably avoid an area with a cop who was known for stopping people for any little reason. Now if the area had a lot of drunk driving fatalities, yet this cop never had any DUI stops/arrests (but a whole bunch of 1MPH-over tickets), I could see that being an issue. (Maybe that's what you meant in the first place? But it didn't read that way.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
