Cops Out

Swiss Drivers Get Chocolate Rewards

Swiss traffic police were handing out sweet rewards yesterday during a 24-hour "thank you" to safe drivers. Motorists in the western region of Fribourg were given a traditional gift of Swiss chocolate - if they passed roadside checks. The 100g chocolate bars were embossed with the police force coat of arms.

Ooo the carrot instead of the stick. I like that, if it's a chocolate carrot! Unfortunatly we'd lose out at the mo', as the clutch went on our Fiat Punto yesterday. Just got my partner through the term, then collapsed. Phew!

Ah - but you didn’t report that motorists were stopped 1km down the road and charged with eating chocolate while driving.

What a cool idea! Sadly where I live
something like that would never
happen.
In my town anything and everything
will get you pulled over & fined.

Cheers.
