I'm lucky that I have never received a pull-over order or a traffic ticket in my life. I'm really slow, and only on expressways do I dare go fast.
You really deserve what you get.
It looks like the reason for the quiet roads was your driving record, which saved you that night. But it won't happen again next time, Bro! Stay careful and obey the rules; you don't have to slow down all the way, right?
Yes you are lucky. They will pull you over here for even the smallest of infractions. You're taught to fear that there may be a cop hiding out behind a wall waiting to catch you. It's a pretty corrupt system in a lot of ways.
