I was pulled over--let me think, twice in the Civic. The first time was on a dark night on the interstate; another red Civic blew past me, and then the cop came up on my tail, lights flashing. He let me go after realizing it was the wrong car. The second time was in town; one of the taillights was out and I got a warning.
What's really fun is driving anywhere with my eldest brother, who's a deputy sheriff. The badge is a "get out of jail free" card whenever he gets pulled over. Cops are human. Which is why I think the best response to being pulled over is to put them at ease (engine off, hands on the steering wheel, no sudden movements, window down) and treat them courteously.
