They're in the public eye, especially driving. If they don't want to consider it feedback to improve themselves, their loss. I've been driving high performance cars for 25 years, I've won big honkin' autocross trophies (translation: precision driving), I've raced formula cars, I haven't had accidents. Traffic enforcement officers really ought to care about the impression they are making, especially when public opinion of them is going down. If they don't care, they are making more work for themselves, and letting us all down. jg -- These opinions are my own and not necessarily those of Information Quest or Pebble In The Sky http://www.informationquest.com mailto:jgarry@nospameiq.com http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/joel_garry Remove nospam to reply. mailto:joel_garry@compuserve.nospam.com "See your DBA?"
