I have a couple friends who are Va State Troopers, and this is what they
told me to do when I get pulled over (which happens a little too
frequently)
- pull over ASAP
- roll window down as soon as you stop
- turn off the car and put your keys on the dashboard
- turn on your domelight
- have your glovebox open, but don't grab anything untill he tells you
- put both hands on the wheel and wait for him to come to the window
my friend told me that this proceedure really makes the Trooper feel more
relaxed about approaching the vehicle, and shows him that you don't have
any tricks planned...
I tried it and it works... got me out of a sizeable ticket more than once
=)
