I sent a lot of old people with deteriorating driving skills back to DOL to get their license re-examined or revoked. I stopped a
        few drivers from foreign countries, and I caught a few grown adults who had never bothered to ever even get a driver’s license.
        I caught lots of drivers with suspended and revoked licenses; their cars got towed away. I’ve had upset drivers go from name
        dropping to name calling; both tactics were equally ineffective with me. I saw hundreds of deployed airbags and I saw a lot of
        dumb people who learned the hard way that seatbelts can save wear and tear on occupants in car crashes.



















        I saw some car vs. motorcycle accidents. And cars vs. bicyclists and cars vs. skateboarders. And cars vs. deer, and one motorcycle
        vs. a bear. The cars always won. I saw a lot of different body parts broken by cars and I saw I lot of vehicle parts broken by
        people’s bodies: windows smashed by heads, steering wheels bent in like tacos by hands and arms, gas pedals twisted by feet,
        and cringe-inducing major dents on the outsides of cars from people’s elbows and hips.






















        I pulled over thousands and thousands of motorists for every traffic offense you can imagine. I heard a lot of different excuses
        but I can’t say I heard every excuse in the book because there were always new and original ones. The best creative ones were
        usually rewarded with no tickets because I enjoyed them so much, although I never told people that. Some drivers got very big
        breaks from me while other more very deserving motorists got every offense I could find as a charge, sometimes totaling well
        over two thousand dollars. I wrote thousands of traffic and parking tickets to deserving motorists. The vast majority of caught
        drivers were given breaks, though.

















        I saw countless drivers suddenly reach for their seatbelts or drop their cell phones or stomp on their brakes when they saw me
        watching them. Sometimes it was pretty funny. I also met a few people in car accidents who had been wearing their seatbelts
        because I had stopped them previously and warned them either verbally or with a ticket.
