- toomuchtodo 11y agoI'm 32, white, male, and I still get nervous whenever I get pulled over. I can do everything right and still end up dead on the ground with the officer walking away from the situation unscathed.
- ionwake 11y agoHow many times have you been pulled over?
- toomuchtodo 11y agoIts actually been about a year, as I drive a bit more conservatively now, but probably around 18 times in my entire life (early 20s, tech worker money single guy expenses, high performance sports cars). My point is, you should never have to worry that you might be killed during a traffic stop.
- Shivetya 11y agoHave you ever thought of getting some professional counseling? At most the last time I got pulled over my only concern was, okay what did I do? Fortunately in that case when I was told I ran a stop sign I stated it was a yield sign and I was quite willing to wait for him to go check. He did. I mean you no offense, but that level of paranoia isn't healthy. Granted the media and internet are good at making people over react but unless you are just playing us you need to step back

- ionwake 11y agoI live in the UK. Around a decade driving, have never been pulled over once. Thanks for your reply, it was interesting. Higher than I anticipated.
- rand334 11y agoAnother average white guy here. I've had over 100 interactions with the police. More than 60% of the time, I was doing nothing wrong at all. Just gotta live in the wrong neighborhood.
