What are Swiss police doing to encourage safe driving habits? The answer is "sweet".
Following a recent run of serious road offences in Fribourg, police have added a little reward to their road side checks: chocolate.
According to an article in the Mail & Guardian, police launched a one-day “Thank You” campaign aimed at rewarding good drivers as well as punishing offenders. Motorists with a “clean sheet” were rewarded with bars of chocolate. Offenders were handed out penalties.
The article notes that in the last six months at least 830 drivers have been charges during road side checks. Speeding, drunk driving and license offenses are the most common issues.
