Those red lights whirring behind us on the highway can mean one of two things, either an ambulance is coming up fast and on its way to a person in need, or a cop is in pursuit of our sheepish lead foot.
Most of the time it is easy to be angry at the law for unapologetically handing over that long yellow piece of paper, we grumble and make excuses. Often I have to remind myself that their job is not only to protect me, but everyone else on the road as well.
