Thank god police cars have tons of reflectors glued all around them..
Take this purely hypothetical scenario. You have a small Japanese coupe - say a ‘98 Honda Prelude. You drive through central Maine to get to your client for work. It’s 10PM, and the roads are completely empty.
Now, you know the speed limit is 65, but you’re in central Maine at 10 PM where the only company you have on the freeway is a stray moose here and there. You go a little bit faster.
But 70 looks a lot like 90 on the speedometer. Say you breach the apex of a hill going “70.” An asshole of a cop is sitting there in the darkness - lights off and all. The only reason you see him is because your headlights reflect off all 27 reflectors taped on to the side of his cruiser, revealing the faint outline of a Crown Victoria.
Instinctively, Crown Victoria = slam on the brakes.
