I usually get along well with traffic control officers.
Similar to MetroMPG, as soon as he rolled his wheels, I pulled over about 10 yard from where he sat. He ordered me through the intersection. I explained the out-of-date temporary license.
I was pulled over once in Junction City. When he walked up his first words were "Volkswagens are cool. This is a Volkswagen isn't it?" I was in the 1964/71 Type III Notchback.
The only part of that car I have left is the 5-speed transaxle.
