When safe, pull to the right side of the road and stop in a safe location. Wait for the officer to contact you. He/she will likely ask for your driver’s license, registration, and proof of insurance. If there is anything in your vehicle that could be considered a threat to the officer, let them know. Never exit the vehicle unless directed by the officer.
