Safety Announcements
Usually, police officers will pull a vehicle over if they have reason to believe that some offense has occurred. On the other hand, the police may have received a call to check on your welfare. Also the police may want to pass on some important information after a traffic collision or hazardous condition so the motoring public can avoid it. Some police contact may only serve to provide some piece of mind when traveling.
