I don't understand how anyone could keep silent
when they're pulled over. Maybe it's just me, but the urge to chat with the friendly police man is overwhelming!
"I'm sorry, officer, I didn't realize you were serious about that speed limit thing..."
"No, my signal lights work just fine--I didn't use them because I thought you knew I was planning on turning there..."
Ah yes, chatting with the cops is always fun

There are "tells" a cop looks for aside from observing a driver
waving a Smirnoff bottle out the window and wobbling over the center line. Driving way too slow is one. There's a particular gesture that clicks with the officer as suspicious. When a driver spots the police vehicle, he automatically takes his foot off the gas. Normal. But if he puts a hand to his neck or chin or adjusts his hat, a cop goes on the alert for faulty brakes or turn signals.
