2.  Upon seeing the flashing lights, you should decrease speed slowly, find a safe place to pull over, turn on your hazard lights, and pull over.  The worst thing you can do is attempt to flee the police.  

3.  Upon being pulled over, you should roll down your window and turn on your dome light so the officer can better see you inside your car.

4.  Do not make any sudden movements. Keep your hands on the steering wheel in clear view of the officer.  This may put the officer at ease and assist in the process.

What are some steps I can follow to avoid getting a speeding ticket?

Here are some suggestions:

1. You should always follow the rules of the road.  Obeying the speed limit and other traffic rules is the most simplest way to avoid being pulled over by an officer and given a summons.  This simple step can save you thousands in fines, insurance costs, and time fighting your ticket.

2. You should be vigilant and look out for speed traps.  Traditionally, in the summertime, many speed traps are conducted where speed limits suddenly change and along hidden corridors where drivers cannot easily see an officer's police car.  

3. Even if you believe you are following the speed limit, you should not pass police car on the road.  Regardless of your speed, this may give an officer the impression that you are speeding.

4. You should always be courteous to the officer and never admit any wrong doing.  No good has ever come from disrespecting an officer.  Also, no good has ever come from making an admission against your interest.
