    Bergy,

    In reading some of your posts, it appears that you like to make everything into a big deal.

    Things sure have changed from when I drove.
    I would always try to pull over with the tail of the trailer still a bit on the road.
    Then be obedient to a point.
    Breathe in to their faces if your breath is not minty fresh and be as friendly as possible.
    LEO are allays aware of traffic dangers and no one wants Mr death breath in their space.
    Usually if you can accomplish this they cant wait to wave you on.

    Beg and cry and plead insanity. If that don't work, cross your eyes and start drooling. If that don't work, go into a full Grand Mal Seizure. If that don't work, dude you are screwed. . .:biggrin_25526:

    Pull over where its safe, if its dark I'd stop under a light. Hit the 4 ways and kill the engine. Stay in the seat and keep your hands on the wheel. The officer will tell you when he needs what. I got pulled for speeding in my personal vehicle once when I was younger. Officer asked why I was speeding and I just said that I had no good excuse. They went back to the car and came back about 5 mins later with the ticket book, I'm thinking 'oh poop'. "did you know you have a brake light out?" I got off with a 90 day fixit. Turns out the brake light never was out.
