Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
An officer stops you at night. You park on the right shoulder, set the parking brake, turn off the engine and turn on your hazard lights. Your license and insurance card are in the glove box. What should you do while the officer walks to your car?
Correct answer: Turn on the dome light, stay seated, and keep both hands on top of the steering wheel.
Why
A calm, predictable driver keeps a traffic stop safe for everyone. Tell the officer if you carry a weapon, and follow the officer's directions. If you disagree with a ticket, do not argue at the roadside: signing it only confirms that you will pay or contact the court, and you can contest it before a judge.
