Why You Don’t Need to Slam the Brakes for Pulled-Over Cops

The other day, I saw a police car on the shoulder with its lights flashing, already busy with another driver. I used to panic and hit the brakes hard, but I’ve learned that’s not necessary. If you’re not speeding or doing anything wrong, just ease off the gas and pass by calmly. The officer is focused on the car they’ve stopped, not you. Staying cool keeps traffic flowing and avoids sudden stops. Have you ever felt nervous passing a pulled-over cop? Share your story below! #DrivingTips #StayCalm #RoadSafety #Cars
