“Do you know why I stopped you,”

The best and most truthful answer to this question is ALWAYS, “No.”

LEO’s next angle: “Do you know how fast you were going?” Answer, “No.”

LEO’s next angle: “Do you know what the speed limit is?” Answer, “Yes.” Offer no further info.

In summary, use only the following responses in a traffic stop: Yes, NO and I don’t know. Offer no qualifying information.

If LEO want’s something else, ask, “Am I being detained or am I free to go?”

Trust me, if LEO wants to keep you, he WILL make up something (”I can smell alcohol.”).

I don't answer ANY questions from anyone in uniform. None.

This is where they will give you a ticket for distracted driving, and most likely a speeding ticket as well.
