1. A drunk driver is a dangerous driver. A drunk driver being chased by a cop is an accident looking for a place to happen.........

2. There is not a car in the world that can out-run Motorola (use the radio - set up stops......).

Also, consider police "training" - ..........

They are required hours per year at a range with weapons. MANY cops retire without ever having fired their weapons once.

They spend 90% of their 'work time' behind the wheel - and for a large majority the last 'driver training' they had was when they were at the Police Academy.
