true to some extend
yes , cops hold unannounced traffic stops on highway fuelstations or even secondary roads...
they funnel everybody , and nobody get's out... they have cops standing with motorbike to swiftly recover those who try to doubleback(on normal roads) , and also to spot those who try to swap seats...
and even if you get stopped for a normal thing, like speeding or a taillight out .. in Holland you will be breathalized by default by highway cops and even by normal traffic cops...
nevertheless, we still have dingbats driving around without licence, papers or even insurance... and some actually get away with it for long time.. only last month did hte news report an article bout a man who had been driving around for 30 years, but never got a licence...he didn't drive bad, or under influence, but , if he can do it , so can repeat dui offenders...
there are always loopholes
