Inspired and curious because of another recent thread.
What would you do if pulled over by the police? I (a White woman) never gave it much thought years ago, until I was pulled over riding in cars with more than one (White) boy/man, who carefully kept his hands on the steering wheel or otherwise in clear, plain view of the officer, and having that all explained to me more than once.
So, I asked DH, who was a you-know-what in his youth and DS, who is by contrast naturally just darling and perfect mind you, haha. DH said of course he kept his hands in full view, duh. Son (22 years old) said, "Huh?" which provided us the opportunity to tell him to always keep his hands in full view of the officer and do not make any sudden or unexplained moves, even to get your car insurance info. or license, etcetera. Right, wrong, or in between, it could save your life.
Wondering who considers this and who doesn't (but hopefully will now)? Personal stories and etc. welcome.
