Hi All,

Yesterday while driving to town, I had a police car behind me the whole
way (25km). This put me on my best behavior. I normally drive 10-15km
faster than the limit, except when the limit is 50km or less. but not
this time. (Before anyone gives me any grief over this, the speed
limits here in Norway are very low, and in general I am a very
considerate driver despite my modest speeding.) This morning on a bike
ride, I was thinking how nice it would be for drivers to be on their
best behavior around cyclists, as yet another driver found it fit to
pass me with only .5m or so clearance, when other drivers find the
courtesy to give me 2m.

So what about getting jerseys/jackets made that say "POLICE" in big
letters on the back? Would that help?

Aside from impersonating an officer type legal issues, do people think
this would help? Would it help most of the time, but backfire big-time
with some yahoos who think "let's scare this pig!" or something?
