"I was doing about 45 in a 35 mile an hour and I probably was doing more than that too, Bassett said.

But Bassett hasn't been stopped in more than 25 years.

In fact, he's only gotten one traffic ticket in his entire life, part of why remembering exactly what to do if pulled over takes some thought.

"Stay in the vehicle you know, make sure the vehicle is in park."

"It's just a grab bag, you never know what you are going to get," Fayetteville Officer Jason Gilbert said.

"They just keep passing on in a different manner and places when they could safely pull over and that gets our minds to thinking that they're trying to hide something," Gilbert said.

So what is the best routine when you see the blue lights flash in your rear-view mirror? First grab your keys and turn off the car. Next, put both hands on the steering wheel and keep them there. Finally, roll down your window to let officers know you're willing to work with them.
