What to do When Pulled Over by a Police Officer

  1. When pulled over by a deputy, remain calm and pull over to the right side of the road.
  2. Stay in your vehicle with your hands on the steering wheel.
  3. Wait for the deputy to ask for your license and other documents.
  4. Make sure the officer reads you your Miranda Rights, and states why you are being arrested.
  5. Be honest and cooperative, and avoid sudden movements.
  6. Additional deputies may arrive at the scene.
  7. If issued a citation, accepting or signing it is not an admission of guilt.
  8. You can contest the citation in court. 

If you have any other questions, feel free to contact us at A1 Driving Schools.
