Answer
If you find yourself pulled over, the first thing to do is remain calm. Pull over to a safe area and turn off your engine.
• Keep your hands visible and avoid making sudden movements. The police may ask for your driver's license, registration, and insurance information, so have these documents ready.
• If there's a language barrier, don't hesitate to use a translation app on your phone to help communicate. It's also okay to politely ask for clarification if you don't understand something.
• Remember that local laws can differ from what you're used to, so try to be respectful and cooperative. If you feel the situation is unfair, calmly explain your side without escalating the conversation.
Stay aware of surroundings, keep valuables secure and use reputable transport and booking channels. Treat urgent payment requests, unusually cheap offers and pressure to surrender original documents as warning signs.
