My school did not offer driver's education. It was taken at a separate
facility that had nothing to do with my school, and it was $180.00,
iirc. This was in Texas in 1985 or 1986.

What are you talking about? Do you really think that people do not get
pulled over in the United States? Law enforcement officers usually drive
these cars that have lights on top of the car.
You can frequently see these cars on the side of the road with a car in
front of them that has an unhappy looking driver at the wheel.

Have you ever watched the show "Cops"? People get pulled over here by
police for a huge variety of reasons.
