16 Things You Think About When the Police Are Behind You

I really saw him on the left, but hey, this is Amsterdam, so a police car drives by here more often. But then he started driving behind me and followed my path. For about ten minutes. And then you think all this.

  1. 1. Arms crossed. Oh no, that can't be right. You used to do that with the teacher. Now two hands on the wheel.
  2. Do I have my papers with me? Driver's license yes, that's also nicely renewed. But the car papers? No idea actually. I've only just got it. Does that sound like a valid excuse for not having them with you?
  3. Is he still following me?
  4. Where is my phone? It's hanging in the clip that's meant for that. That should be okay, right? Or am I already breaking the law?
  5. What if I casually open my roof?
  6. Then I radiate a lot of pompousness, nothing's wrong and my car is perfectly fine and now I can just go catch some criminals, right?
  7. Or is that not allowed? Because two hands on the wheel? But that can't always be, right? Two hands on the wheel? I should also be able to turn on my indicator sometimes? Or my phone pick up... Oh no. No. No. Don't pick up.
  8. Is he still behind me?
  9. I don't like this anymore.
  10. I really have to the dog register with the municipality for the dog tax. Could they be on my tail for that?
  11. I look quite neat in my brand new Renault, don't I?
  12. Don't those guys have anything better to do?
  13. Are they going to the right now???
  14. Should I stop? Then just confront them head-on. I'd rather know what's going on than feel so chased.
  15. They're going left.
  16. Breathe out.
