we have drivers who drive at police, too, as well as folks who pretend to be the driver in driving cases, but this is the first I remember where passenger was similarly over the limit.

Back in the late 80s when my sister was visiting the US she was pulled over for exceeding the speed limit & got a hell of a shock to see the officer with his hand on his gun as he approached. Here is Oz drivers aren't likely to be armed, so police can approach alleged offenders without worrying about retaliation, tho as road rage has risen in the last few years they're probably no longer so relaxed.
