A traffic stop can feel stressful. Staying calm and knowing what to do can help you handle the interaction appropriately.
• Pull over safely as soon as practical.
• Keep your hands visible and follow the officer’s instructions.
• Provide your license, registration, and insurance information when requested.
• Remain respectful and avoid arguing on the roadside.
• If you are arrested or charged, consider contacting legal counsel as soon as you can.
