Think Safety: Tips from Campus Police
SO THE POLICE ARE PULLING YOU OVER...
What a terrible feeling. You are driving along, and all of a sudden, a police car pulls in behind you and turns on their blue lights and siren. What do you do?
- Safely pull to the right shoulder of the road or into a business parking lot to avoid being struck on the main road. Stay in your vehicle. Keep your hands visible. If you are on your phone, get off the phone. If your music is loud, turn it down.
- The officer should state why he stopped you — texting while driving, speeding, running a red light, disregarding a stop sign, improper turn, etc. The officer will request your driver’s license, vehicle registration, and insurance.
- Tennessee law states you must have your driver’s license with you, and it must be readily available. This means if you want to look for your license, the officer does not have to wait on you to find it to be written a ticket for No Driver’s License.
- You must also show the officer your vehicle registration (the vehicle owner information) and insurance card. If you do not have the card, you can show the officer your online policy.
- Do not argue with the officer. Sign your ticket. Your avenue for relief is at traffic court, not on the side of the road. Your signature acknowledges your receipt of the ticket, it is not an admission of guilt.
- Can you refuse to sign the ticket? Yes, if you want to be arrested. Think about it. What is best for you, a traffic ticket (a city ordinance violation) or an arrest for a driving offense (state misdemeanor)?
- For the few minutes you are stopped, give the officer your full attention, plus be courteous.
Hopefully, the police aren’t pulling you over. They may be passing you on their way to an emergency call. Tennessee’s Move Over Law 55-8-132 states in part, "The driver of every other vehicle shall yield the right-of-way and shall immediately drive to a position parallel to, and as close as possible to, the right hand edge or curb of the roadway, clear of any intersection, and shall stop and remain in such a position until the emergency vehicle has passed, except when otherwise directed by a police officer." FYI — emergency vehicles include ambulances, fire trucks, TDOT HELP trucks, police motorcycle officers, marked police cars (blue lights on top and the police logo on the doors), unmarked police cars equipped with a blue light and siren. Stay alert!
