Swiss Police reward good driving with chocolate. Would it work in Tenerife?

Have a look at this story. It really made me laugh when I imagined the Guardia Civil pulling in drivers at the end of the TF1 and giving them chocolate.

Do you think that would work here in Tenerife or would the chocolate all be melted before it was distributed?

And while one guardia civil officer (good guy) was giving you melted chocolate, the other one (bad guy) would be searching for something to get on you.

I've just been talking to someone who's Swiss in the last few minutes!!! Wish he was still on the phone now, but not calling him back. I'll just have to send the pink by email to him.
Thanks for that.....it's made my day

If it were pies yes, I would stick to the speed limit

I bet Margaretta would go for the chocolate though

. She would probably recite a poem to the Old Bill as well if she were stopped.

I think I'm a pretty good driver (doesn't everybody!) But for chocolate I would be a fantastic driver!!!

One day last week, my husband was a passenger in a car with a right hand drive. The owner of the car was driving and my husband was talking on the phone when the police came up behind them, overtook them and then waved them down to stop. The Police approached what they thought was the driver's side of the car, realised that my husband, still on the phone, was a passenger, not the driver, then waved them off without saying a word.
Just think, if that were in Switzerland, my husband could have brought me home a bar of chocolate for my tea!!!!!

Well if they ran a TV ad campaign I think it would be a roaring success here.

P.S. Chocolate is the Canarian slang word for Cannabis!!!

How about as its so warm at the moment swapping the chocolate for an ice cream????

I would be a very good driver then!!!!!!!!!!!!! Obviously I am already being female......
