watch out or else

A friend of mine was telling us all about being pulled over by a police officer directing traffic (they don’t use stoplights) the other day. He quickly realized he didn’t have his seatbelt on and was understanding of the cause. Until she told him it was illegal to drive without a shirt. And while he is getting out to talk to the officer, a person on the road yelled that he better turn off his car, because it was illegal to get out and leave a car running. Apparently, it doesn’t matter if you’re: a) not wearing your seatbelt, b) drinking and driving, c) driving while intoxicated, d) driving like a maniac or e) passing up to six cars on blind turn. BUT don’t dare leave your car on, or not wear a shirt while driving. I can’t imagine the thought process for that one. Are they thinking that a shirtless person will distract those doing b, c, d or e??? No telling around here though. At least its not like Grenada though where the have a sign saying “Drink Safely, Drive Slowly” (or something very similar…with the basic message, be careful when you drive drunk).
