No. I'm generally not that thoughtful or nice.

Re: Do you ever warn people of a cop ahead when driving?

I put "other" because I used to do it and don't anymore.

I used to think MANY years ago that I was doing a good thing to warn someone about cops. Like we were all in against the bad cops. Thanks to my dad for his hate of cops! He was doing it so I did it.

But now I don't do it anymore. I realized that cops stop people for a reason. Speeding, agressive driving, etc.... I think the "luck" is in your hands when you drive and how you chose to drive.

Nope. If someone is driving dangerously, I want them to get pulled over. The roads are dangerous enough as it is.

I haven't in awhile, but if I remember I do. Many people have warned me and I'll do the same if I can.

No, I don't. People should be careful driving all the time, not just when they think a cop is ahead.



my thoughts exactly

I used to do it, but don't anymore. Most of the time I can't react fast enough. But its a pretty common practice here in VA.
