Luminous Police Car Identifier
"Is that a cop behind me?"

If you've ever driven on the edge of breaking the law, then you've known the hackle-raising feeling of wondering if you're being followed at night by a member of the local authorities. "Are those lights on the top or a roofrack?", you may have asked yourself. Simple solution: Buy my patented Luminous Police Car Identifier and either relax, or be prepared to do your best driving since that first sweaty-palmed experience at 16 (No, I mean the driver's test) A simple plastic card with a clip attached to your sunvisor, this little tension-soother is emblazoned in luminous and colored inks with the exact headlight and turn-indicator patterns of the vehicles used by the local constabulary. A quick glance, not even enough to disrupt your driving, and either smooth sailing or... take a bite out of the seat cushion. Traveling? The cards are cheap and can be found at any convenience stop, tailored to each municipality. To add a bit of irony, the glow-in-the-dark patterns may even be powered by Johnny Law himself!

       Oddly enough, I've never thought about whether the car behind me is an ECILOP vehicle or not, until reading this idea. Should I pull over to type this anno~?

       Yes, do you know why I pulled you over?   

       I was breastfeeding my child, on my husband's orders, at the time?

       Were your child not a teenager....   

       Don't go there... On my map it says, "Here be Dragons."
