Heed this advice ladies and gentlemen in regards to the DL CDL and all the
enforcement of same. No matter how right you might be, you always stand a
chance of crossing paths with a LEO who is having a "bad day." Do your best to
be polite and respectful and you stand a better chance for a favorable
outcome. Don't be ignorant of the laws but if you are going to challenge the LEO,
be tactful and polite. I would rather take my knowledge to court if forward
progress doesn't look promising with the LEO. Sometimes knowing everything at
the scene of a traffic stop can be counterproductive. LEOs are no different
than any other folks in any other occupation, they have bad days just the
same. I'm not saying bow down at their presence, just giving free advice for a
better outcome. More recent entries into the field of law enforcement are
letter of the law folks vs us older LEOs who are spirit of the law. Not much
discretion is used among the newer LEOs. Again this is only a suggestion for
a better outcome of a traffic stop. By the way, not much response on my
previous question asking how many folks have been stopped and cited with the MVs
and what became of it. It just doesn't seem that we (MVers) get stopped very
much at all.
