Task 4. Read the information and think about the decision of a given situation.

A police officer was on routine patrol at midnight on Friday. He observed a car going down the highway exceeding the speed limit. The officer turned on his siren and lights and directed the car to stop. After checking the driver’s license, the patrol officer inquired where the person was going and why he was speeding. The driver replied that he was in a hurry to get home because there was something wrong with his contact lens. Something apparently flew into his eye and made his vision less distinct. He was trying to get to his home that was not far from the highway. When asked where he had been, the driver replied that he was a student and had been at a friend’s house studying. When asked whether he was drinking the driver answered that he wasn’t (it was only beer). The driver answered all questions politely and frankly.

Task 5. Try to make your decision and answer the questions. Mind the Subjunctive Mood. Start your answer with the model:

If I were a police officer I would/ could/ might V…

2. Would you fine the driver for driving over the speed limit?

3. Would you believe his response about the contact lens?

4. Would you believe what he told you about drinking nothing?

5. Would it make any difference in your decision if you had stopped him at 3 a. m. rather than at midnight?

Task 6. You may choose any possible decisions among given below or make your own. Start with the pattern:

If I were a traffic officer I would/ could/ might V…

It’s important/reasonable/ necessary that the police officer should V/ V …

1. You could, of course, give the driver a verbal warning and let him go.

2. You could give him a speeding ticket.

3. If you had a sufficient reason to think that he was under the influence of alcohol you could ask him to go out of the car and perform some medical examination or give roadside tests for intoxication.
