Re: What's with getting out of the car?

Back in October or November the same happened to me, 76 in a 70 and I was instructed to get out of the car. Although the trooper gave me a citation instead of a warning.

I was driving my Wife's minivan, and she was in the passenger seat. She is a paraplegic. Her wheelchair was behind my seat (fit's there, so it goes there regardless of who's driving). I would think a trooper should notice the combination of handicapped plates and a wheelchair behind the drivers seat before ordering a driver out of a vehicle.

One more thing. I have always known to show my CHL even when not carrying, but for some reason I didn't think about it that time. I haven't been carrying much since my workplace no longer allows it (ownership change). He came back from his car to ask about it. It cost me more to take defensive driving than to pay the citation, but I wanted to keep my record clean. Had it been local I'm pretty sure I would have fought it.
