I am pretty much nice and friendly when dealing with a cop (the U.S. taught me that ;-) and they usally are the same with me. And, indeed, they dont *usually* stop you for silly things, like when I got pulled over and fined (heavily) for having a broken headlight. Here, they'll pull you over and let you know that the light is broken, and that it'd be better and safer to have it replaced- soon. If you're speeding, but not too much (like, say, 135 where 120 is allowed), they'll pass you, and the dude not driving will make the "dude, slow down a bit" gesture with his hands, rather than pulling you over. Stuff like that. But, Holland is full of *other* insanities, trust me. --f
