[Healeys] Helpful words for when you are stopped by the Police or Troopers

[Greg Mandas]

I'm about 9 out of 10 for getting off. I'm never apologetic, but respectful, using "yes", "no" and "sir". When asked what I'm doing I usually say " screwing up".  

Before I take my hands off the wheel to retrieve "license, registration and insurance" I tell the officer where they are and wait to be told to get them.   

On the homorus side, in my last two stops, after the initial greeting, the Bethel CT officers and I held a conversation where the officer recited both sides and I was left wondering when it was my turn to speak.

I guess that might be something to explain it, but I have been over apologetic
in the past and said little else before and that made no difference,   The
Trooper did say that there are days where they do have quotas, but it was
still up to the officer if they will or will not give a ticket to someone.  I
felt compelled to braodcast this to the list as I m sure that I am not the
only person who has a heavy right foot from time to time.
