I'm from the UK and I'd say it is the opposite. The majority of people have never been stopped by the police.
I imagine you probably are acquainted with such people but you merely don't know this fact about them... unless I guess you ask "have you ever been stopped by police?" every time you introduce yourself to someone.
That is after sitting in court all day for the judge to send you to traffic school on a different day.
I think most drivers change their behavior after this experience a few times.
If you don't speed, come to a full stop at stop signs, don't run red lights and don't use your phone while driving you won't be pulled over but you will do one of those when you start.
I would say every time I drive I see at least one driver doing something that would get them pulled over so for that person it is just a matter of time.
