Lower your window.
Keep your hands on the wheel or the dash.
If you need to move your hands, explain what you will be doing and why.
Use “Sir” or “M’am”.
Not only will you live, you will likely only receive a warning.
Neat trick, lowering the window without leaving the wheel or dash with one’s hands.
“Lower your window. Keep your hands on the wheel or the dash.”
Yep.
Though back before power windows a guy had to be in top shape...
“In Soviet Russia we lower our window.
We keep our hands on the wheel or the dash.
If we need to move our hands, we explain what we will be doing and why.
We use “Sir” or “M’am”.”
See how that doesnt sound outlandish with the “in Soviet Russia” addition?
We are American citizens, and need to be treated as such.
