I think it's a combination of things....subconsciously, we know we're supposed to be on our best behavior when we see cops (I would guess we rarely are), so there's that element, plus adding the motorcycle, the new age cavalry, the loud pipes and the ominous, anonymous dude perched on top of it add another element to fear or at least respect. Personally I think a lot of it just has to do with the impressive majesty of police issue bikes.

Amdonim.... not on my bike.
However I will have a drink or two and drive my car ... as in a couple of beers with a steak. Perhaps twice in the last ten years have I had to much to drink and used my car.
I did say drunk and refered to myself. I should have phrased it differently to refer to someone. Thanks for pointing that out.
Never have I been drunk and used my car.
