Just wondering but if you get pulled over by the police are you...
a) Meant to get out of the car to meet the policeman/woman
b) Meant to wait in the car until intructed by the Policeman/woman
c) Something else
Cheers

Stop in a position that limits their door access or access to you and RUN.... RUN VERY FAST.....
Oops i think i have watched Police Camera Action too often.
Sit and wait unless instructed otherwise.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -
C) when cautioned and asked if you understand, your next line is "please don't hit me again officer"0

You're supposed to say "I can't reach my license unless you hold my beer"
And then "thanks Officer, that last cop only gave me a warning, too""Retail is for suckers"

Stop in a considered and safe manner.
Turn off the engine.
Keep your hands visible.
Wait and see what they say.
Unless you're in the US - Where you put both your hands on the door frame so they don't have an excuse to shoot you.0 -
Does not stop them though.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

get out of car "alright, is there a problem?" whilst dropping your stash
As a 17 y/o I was flagged down by a cop "where is the fire son?" my response of "no idea, sorry" was answered with "OUT OF THE CAR!"0 -
Not happened for a while (touch wood) but I always get out and approach them as sitting there having them stare down at you is the wrong way to start the sort of discussion that is about to follow......0

Only been tugged once.. I got out and went to see him (I knew it was for insurance - done over the phone and just bought the car that day). First thing he said was (in a miserable voice) "Can you jump in the back please". From that point on it was a case of drive him to insanity and beyond.. 25 minutes later he couldn't wait to be rid of me.
Whats the tip? Tell them everything about yourself.. every last detail.. don't stop talking.. overload them completely and don't stay quieter for longer than a few seconds. The longer you can drag it out for the more frustrating it is for them - especially if you can do it convincingly so they think you're like that all the time. Remember Richard Hammond on Top gear when he took speed to go up the mountain? - like that
