Dealing with traffic police, Dominica-style

I walked past a group of police officers stopping every other vehicle near the Mahaut bus stop this morning. Many of course were bus drivers, who didn't take kindly to being stopped. The prize however went to HA107. When asked to pull over, he gesticulated. When the policewoman stood in front of his bus he slowed, but gesticulated more and waved his driving license. When she stood back, he drove off. She seemed nonplussed.

I must try that.

Here is my take on the situation.

They were checking for driver's license. The bus driver had heard about this via 'radio neg' he just slowed down enough for the WPC to check out that His license was current. No computer check required. A most efficient system.Traffic back to normal in a flash.

That is why I love DA.
