Excellent advice, FRiend. I will definitely keep that technique you suggested in mind.
In the past, I typically pulled far off shoulder, lowered all windows, engaged flashers, and turned-off vehicle ignition.
Contemporary jackbooted, steroid-pumping police do not seem to even acknowledge this courtesy, concern for their safety, plus my willingness to be friendly.

In Mesquite, TX I was pulled over for speeding in heavy traffic, on the freeway. I pulled over to the shoulder rather than the center, as I was trained, for safety.

The policeman did not like that at all, as if I was eluding him, and said “That’s a good way to get yourself shot” which I thought was excessive. I had my baby in the car at the time. Would he have shot at my vehicle? He implied yes.
