Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
A police car signals you to pull over at night. You stop safely at the side of the road. What should you do while the officer walks up to your car?
Correct answer: Stay inside, turn on the interior light and keep your hands on the wheel
Why
These steps help the officer see that you are not a threat, which keeps the stop safe for everyone. Keep your seat belt on, and ask your passengers to keep their hands in view. You will be asked to sign the ticket; signing is not an admission of guilt, and you can disagree later in court.
