Default getting pulled over strategy

Do you pull over immediately, even if it means stopping in the middle of the road and possibly endangering the cop or do you continue on with the lights behind you flashing until you have a nice safe place to pull over? What do the police prefer?

Default I wait until there is a safe area on the right side of the

road and then pull over. Or even a parking lot.

Default ive never gotten pulled over *knocks on wood*, but id assume

that it would be safer for you and the cop if you pulled over somehwere safe or like silverbullet said, in a parking lot.

Default definately wait for a safe spot.

I'd throw the flashers on and go slow to let him know you're planning on stopping.

Default I was in a car that got pulled over one time...

... where we continued past an entrance ramp until we could get over to the right side of the road and the first thing out of the trooper's mouth was 'why didn't you stop back on the entrance ramp median?'

Somewhere safe. Cops prefer to feel safe.

Default safe spot but put blinker on so he knows and doesnt get angry.

i always turn off the car. roll windows down and keep my hands on the wheel too. i have talked to cops and they say that makes them feel comfortable.
