    This was my grandfather's approach - started driving after WW2 - no binder, he would just start handing them paper, after paper until they forgot why they pulled him over.

    Is there a law that says all paperwork belongs in a binder?

    It's all about first impressions. The more neat/organized you are...less of an invitation for DOT to start digging around.

    Yup, and well your digging for missing papers it gives them more time to look things over.

    It looks like ya'll need to leave Grandpa out of this. First impressions and being organized far out weigh what poor Grandpa did back in the day.
