Police encounters

Here I am driving along, admiring the landscape, watching out for inattentive drivers making selfies with me and Rex in the car whilst driving.
Suddenly I hear a police siren. I pulled over, not being aware of any traffic infringements I may have committed. I am getting all my papers ready and stay in the car, whilst waiting. Finally the officer arrives. I let down my window, paint the nicest smile onto my face and give him a friendly "As salamalaikum". He greets me back, then surprises me by adding a "Welcome to Saudi Arabia". I hadn't expected that when being pulled over by a siren. What then followed surprised me even more: he simply handed me a cup of coffee, wished me a safe journey and went his way.
At another occasion I was stopped by a traffic control. "Papers please!" Oh darn, now they got me with my right hand drive! My police Major of the Al Baha province had provided me with a written note. I never knew what was written on it, but trusting that it might help me in difficult situations, I stuck it onto the face of my passport. Now, when the police officer asked me for my papers, I handed him my passport with the Major's letter facing him. He had a short read, then handed me back to me and sent me off with a friendly good bye.Okumaya devam et
