Didn't Run Over Anyone Today? Here's a Chocolate Bar!

Posted by Robyn Lee, July 23, 2007

Safe drivers were rewarded with 100-gram chocolate bars embossed with the police force coat of arms during a 24-hour "Thank You" campaign to encourage safe driving.

Switzerland is well known for chocolate, so free chocolate from the local police isn't too unexpected, although probably not common practice. Would it hurt adapt the practice of giving free chocolate for good driving behavior here as well? Chocolate would certainly make me feel happier about driving.
