Swiss Police: "Don't Mess With Italian Women"

I was in Bern (Switzerland) together with my female Italian friend. Coming up to a crossing she did not pay attention to the traffic lights and drove against red. Shortly after we were stopped by a police car and the officers started to ask questions in French and English. She responded to them both times in Italian and with a lot of gestures. The officer in charge just shook his head and waved her forward with his hand to show that she could continue driving.

The Swiss police is not known to allow people breaking the law but what can you do with an Italian woman? You just shake your head and stay out of her way.
