Getting pulled over by the police.
Discussion
A motoring solicitor I used to know a few years ago, used to say if you are stopped by a police car, for whatever reason, speeding, rear light out etc, it's always better to get out and approach the policeman as he was walking over to your car and say something like "Hello officer, anything wrong?"
He reasoned that if you were still sat in your car he had a psychological advantage over you, because he was looking down to you in your seat, whereas if you are eye to eye you stand a better chance of just getting a "ticking off".

Interesting point, what if it's not a proper plod, been a couple of those up here lately, potentially hi jacking cars. If you get out, it makes easier for them to nick it.

It's important to remember that police time is precious, so make sure when you get out of your vehicle that you run towards the police officer when you greet them.
Also, it's vital to show positive sign language, so spread your arms as wide as you can to show an open mentality.
And finally, communication is vital, so shout loudly and assertively. Volume is more important than clarity.

Why get out in potentially into moving traffic, don't get that.
Then again having never been stopped what do I know.
Well, yes, obviously it depends where you are, and only if it's safe to do so.Then again having never been stopped what do I know.
He told me this back in the seventies, maybe things are different now with all the guns and knives about?

Also it's important for the police to see you are unarmed, so strip naked quickly before getting out the car and running toward them.Also, it's vital to show positive sign language, so spread your arms as wide as you can to show an open mentality.
