An Encounter - pull over right away

[DaveT1]

I had a DPS moron pull me over for speeding only got a warning. Having a great radar detector kept him from getting a lock. All he could do was give a warning and kept asking me who's car is this? Was a total ASS and I said it's mine cant you see the name is the same on the insurance paperwork as my drivers license. LOL

I've always tried to pull over immediately, depending on which lane I was in. I did have one officer tell me on his loudspeaker to continue further until we came to a wider and safer area. I think most officers will do the same if they don't want you to pull over immediately.

was this a small town cop? A big city cop encounters what you did all the time.
And the lights do not protect him on the side a road from a distracted driver.


I was in your situation once too. I was pulled over after pulling away from a light on a busy intersection. I had a feeling he was going to pull me over for the no front license plate as I spotted him on the left on the other side of the red light. But on my immediate right after the light I noticed a Dunkin Donuts. So I pulled into the lot and parked directly in front of the entrance. Rolled down all windows as per usual, told my passenger to keep their hands up high and visible as per usual. Had my docs out before the cop even got out of his car. He took two glances at my ID, asked about the plate and said "all right get on that" and went right into the Dunkin Donuts.

Yet there is specific advice given to women that they have the right to drive to a safe well lighted place. There are police impersonators who prey on women. If I were in this situation, I'd drive to a safe place but put my blinkers on so he knew I was acknowledging his signal.

I think this guy was just on a power trip. But I sure wouldn't want to have that job and I "Yes Sir" them and defuse where I can.
