), did I not use my turn signal to change lane? ... again I am usually very careful about that too.So up he walks to my window and says "Nothing wrong, sir, but you have a stop(brake) light out on the passenger side, can I see your driver license and POI".
Hand over the insurance, he checks it and hands it back. Hand over the DL and CHL, asks me if the address is still valid. I tell him it is, he hands me back the CHL as if it is nothing he needed to know about! He never asked me if I had a weapon or where it was. He runs the DL, hands it back to me, thanks me very politely and off he goes!
What a relief to get a stop out of the way, and what a double relief to only be stopped for the brake light. Wonderful officer, polite, professional and helpful.
ps Brake light is now fixed :)
