    A few tips if you get pulled over.....

    If at night after stopping your vehicle turn the dome light, roll down your window and put both hands either on the steering wheel or on through the window. Empty hands and light go a long way to placing an officer at ease when approaching your car.

    As much as it sucks getting pulled over, take a deep breath and put the attitude in check. Most officers have discretion in issuing a ticket. Unless you blew through a light or stop sign or were doing something totally reckless you may just get a warning if you dont piss them off.



    You will sometimes get that officer that no matter what you say or how you act will issue you a ticket. They are known as tools amoungst other officers. Thats the family friendly name we call them, they just like giving tickets.

    If you are a passenger in a car that is stopped, don't be a roadside lawyer. It is a sure way to get the driver a ticket and you may end up in the back of the cruiser for obstuctiion. In other words shut your mouth.

    I give you these tips from the perspective of being on both sides of a car stop. It sucks getti g pulled over and it is dangerous doing them. Drive safely and I hope the tips above will make your next encounter with " the man" a bit easier.
