Grammar
relative pronouns
I came across the following sentece and I am afraid it is not correct:
If I were a cop, I would give tickets in situations when the drivers are speeding or talking on their cell phones.
I think I should write in which in the place of when. Am I right? Do you happen to have any other suggestion?
Thanks
