It was a hecktic week and I was going for a Maria drive to relief some stress and get out of my male self for a little while. I was just about to leave and I kissed my wife goodbye and as always thanked her for being so understanding, she asked me to sit down. I asked her what was wrong, she just wanted to remind me that it's close to Christmas and there are more police on the road and they have spot checks set up around. She told me not to do anything crazy and to drive to my best and if I end up getting trapped in one that I shouldn't try to turn around or panic and to just relax and present properly and answer whatever question the officers ask me. She suggested that I don't undress while driving half way home as usual because she didn't want me to be half dressed if I did get pulled over and that would look wierd but to undress when I got home in the garage. I thanked her for the what I thought was great advice and asked her if she was worried that maybe she preferred I don't go out. She explained that she was just reminding me to be safe and not to take it the wrong way and would prefer I go because it is like therapy to me. Again I thanked her and now I just got home and thank God I didn't find any spot checks but there was more police on the road then usual.
I thought it was great advice and as much as I know we all try to be safe when we are out, but thought I would share just as a reminder.
