You will have a minute or two to retrieve your proof of insurance and vehicle registration from the glove compartment, and time to get your driver's license and concealed-carry license.

Some REALLY bad advice from the author there. You do NOT want to be digging around in the car while waiting for the officer to get there. He doesn't know that your innocent actions in trying to be helpful are in order to find your registration. He doesn't know if you're looking for a gun, hiding drugs, or what.

Hands on the wheel until he gets to your window, and if he asks for registration, tell him that it's in the glove box and you're going to get it if that's OK.

I keep license, registration, and insurance card in a paper clip, tucked into an elastic pocket thingy on my sun visor, so it’s never necessary to rummage in my glove box.
It’s quickly accessible and all in my left hand, extended out the window before the cop even exits his patrol car.
Right hand stays atop steering wheel.Empty left hand remains out the window, waiting for him to hand over documents and ticket.
If necessary to divulge whereabouts of anything else, hands remain on steering wheel, and I answer politely and point gingerly with an index finger.

Wife got stopped the other dayI was riding and officer asked for registration.

I told him before I ever raised a hand that I had a gun in the glove box. He said if you don't show me yours I won't show you mine.
