You know, for all those that are going on about driver distraction, I have to point out that when I'm driving a police car, I'm probably the most distracted driver on the road.

I have on the car radio, the scanner radio, and the radio on the department net, plus I'm running the radar, AND I'm usually not looking totally at where I'm going since I'm patrolling and have to look at things around me.

Heh heh ... I never thought about that. Of course, police officers have an advantage, because all other drivers tend to give them a wide berth. If a police officer makes a dangerous move, other cars get out of the way because they were all watching him already.

That's very true.

In fact, we make dangerous moves as a matter of course.

I'm giving the engine governor some serious thought (from a practical effects standpoint) I'll see if I can't post something tomorrow.
