I was off the road and stopped before he'd put his lights on. I was out the car and waiting before he pulled up. He could see I was a grumpy old fart and not a young buck who needed a lesson so he exited his car with a breath tester in hand.
He asked for my license. Bugger, it was in the car. I must remember to have it in my hand ready next time. After my breath was tested, he started walking to the front of the car looking at it intently. "Oh no" I thought. "He's going to give me a hard time about the car."
He stopped, looked at me, said "I won't keep you long.", checked my license, handed it back, did a u-turn and was gone before I could retune the radio to ABC classic FM.
I reckon, with a little more practice, we could get these stops down to less than a minute.
