another tip if you do get pulled over (worked for me):
- roll down all windows, shut down engine, keys go to dashboard
- keep hands on steering wheel until cop is at your window
- keep license/insurance together to speed up process (I keep them both in the same place in my wallet for quick access), and let the cop know what you're going for when you reach for your wallet or whatever
- don't give attitude, "yes, sir" "no, sir" "thank you, sir"
- don't ask questions unless he's really being a dick (have had a few of them)
- don't admit to speeding, just say you're going with the flow of traffic (hopefully, you were)
-
don't give attitude
Believe that if you want to. It'd probably be better
not to look like a pro at getting pulled over.
I say just treat the situation as unfortunate and hope for the best. If the end result is that you get a ticket you can feel free to ask the cop as many or few questions as you want to about the road, the current conditions or the days events and he may or may not give you the answers you want. He is, under the regulations of most organizations, required to promote your overall safety while you're still stopped and should ask you if you have any questions before he releases you. That's when you exercise your right to know these things.
By the way, I'm not a cop but I am a Military Policeman so I might know a little bit about these things.
