I also have been pulled over a few times in my 20 years of driving. 75 in a 55 at 5 a.m. I pull over shut off the truck and have my papers out the window when the officer pulls up.
Officer: "You know why I pulled you over?"
Me: I might have been speeding
officer: oh yea! you were speeding,can you tell me why you are in such a hurry?
Me:I am late for work and it is just down the road
Officer: how is your driving record?
Me: up until now perfect
Officer <chuckles> I will be back after I check your record...
he let me off...they usually do except for the time my car smelled a lil funny but that is for another night.
basically if you remain calm and courteous the pigs....errr officers will too
