5. Being Pulled Over by Police
Most large cities in the United States have
own police departments, and part of these departments'
is traffic control. Whenever a person is driving
any city, it is a good idea to
all the traffic laws. Some of the basic
, like stopping at red lights, speeding, and making
-turns, are similar in most cities, but that is
always the case. Sometimes what is legal in
city might be illegal in another. It is
to check the traffic laws in cities where
work and live.
Whenever drivers are stopped or "
over" by a policeman, it is important to
the vehicle into the nearest, safe area near
curb. Drivers will know they are being pulled
by the flashing red and blue lights atop
the police car. This is a signal that
police want you to stop. The reasons police
cars over are many. It could be that
driver was going too fast, or that he
she failed to stop at a traffic light
stop sign. It could also be because one
the car's lights is out, or the vehicle
is expired. These are just some of the
police pull drivers over.
There are certain things
need to do whenever they are faced with
situation. The first thing a driver should do
to comply with any instructions the police officer
be giving them over the speaker. If no
are given, pull to the nearest safe spot
wait in the driver's seat until the officer
to the door. Always be polite and give
officer your driver's license, proof of insurance, and
registration. Remember, you should always be respectful.
