Quote: "I have had my CHL since the inception of the program and I am pretty sure that it had gotten me out of at least 3 tickets since then."
Same here. And several students back for CHL renewal classes have told me similar. Most "street cops" do realize that CHLers are generally "certified good guys" (and girls ) and if there is any slack to be cut, will often do so - if they too are initially shown courtesy and respect.
