The painfully awkward video was created as a viral attempt to promote new rules forcing drivers to give parked police cars a wide berthEveryone remembers the local bobby's slightly awkward classroom safety talks from their school days - but these Canadian police officers have topped them with their cringeworthy Cop Light Bling music video. <br /> <br />The Nova Scotia mounties chose to promote their road safety campaign with a reworking of Drake's hit song Hot Line Bling - complete with hi-vis background dancers and autotuning. <br /> <br />The painfully awkward video was created as a viral attempt to promote new rules forcing drivers to give parked police cars a wide berth. <br /> <br />But it has attracted more attention for the officers' half-hearted gyrations and unconvincing lip-sync as they plead with motorists: "Please don't speed right past my cruiser".Read more: Awkward anti-texting ad gives motorists very good reason to put their phones away while driving <br /> <br />Even fans of The Office and other deliberately awkward sitcoms may struggle to endure the coppers' parody.Their version of the hit includes catchy lines like: "You just sped right past my cruiser. You just nearly hit my leg. You sped past my cruiser, shoulda changed your lane. <br /> <br />"'Cause you know when these cop lights bling, that can only mean one thing." <br /> <br />The 'move over' law actually came into force in 2010 but it seems drivers just can't get the hint. <br /> <br />Cpl. Jennifer Clarke, who appeared in the video, told Canadian broadcasters: "Humour always gets people's attention and we really wanted unorthodox, unique, a memorable way of getting the message out there. <br /> <br />"We're always evolving in how we connect with our communities, and this music video is another unique way of getting our message to citizens."
