Here in my town, since I am frequently driving between 3 and 5am because I
go up to my radio station every morning to work DX, I frequently get pulled
over. The police in my town say they pull over everyone they can who is out
driving at 3-5am just because the likelihood they are drunk is so much
greater, and they look for "opportunities to check." 41 in a 40 with nobody
around = complimentary breath analysis.
They also pull over everyone they see leaving a bar at closing home if they
forget to use their blinker when changing lanes.
I think there's a moral in there somewhere too: The timing of an action can
draw suspicion and net efficient enforcement results. It's still not
against the rules to drive at 4am.
