    I'd also love to know Alex Roy's driving protocols that he mentions repeatedly in his book The Driver. He talks about them in general terms but doesn't outline the actual rules.

    There might not be official quotas but if you want to drive the new car or you want that cushy overtime shift just sitting with lights running at the construction zone...

    Oh, I don't doubt many are willing to write tickets, but there few official quotas.

    Very good summary , Stimuli .

    I like the rabbit section , most do not give enough credit
    to them. Perhaps we should create the '' Rabbit Week '' ?
    O divine art of subtlety and secrecy!
    Through you we learn to be invisible, through you inaudible;
    and hence hold the enemy's fate in our hands.

    Thanks...

    It is ever growing with the help of others and what we learn.

    It is too bad that how we learn more usually is accompanied with a fine and court costs.

    I like "Rabbit Week"

    I just ordered this book for holiday reading. Thanks for the tip it sounds awesome.

    I love the full title: "The Driver - My Dangerous Pursuit of Speed and Truth in the Outlaw Racing World".

    Awesome. Alex Roy shares your passion for scanners so I'm sure there are some juicy stories related to that.

    Are you at home for the Holidays or going somewhere? I am on a long trip to Atlanta for the holidays, and am really loving driving my car in a city with so many LEOs.

    Who said passion for scanners? I have the book, I just haven't taken the time to read it yet.
