"Do you know why we've stopped you?"

[Fifteen15]

Say you've been pulled for speeding and plod asks, "Do you know why we've stopped you?" What's the best answer for this without staying silent, saying I don't know, or sounding cocky?

You do not admit to anything. Something like "Sorry officer I'm afraid I do not know why you stopped me". The onus is on them to prove wrongdoing.

That being said, there is no need to be a dick as that will just aggravate the situation, especially if they have you bang to rights.

"To admire my bike?"

Works wonders

[Snorty]

I try to get my helmet off and be off the bike before they're out of the car. Then I go for a polite "y'alright?".

I've never been asked "do you know why we've stopped you" they usually tell me...

I've been pulled in the car twice, both times I've been asked, both times I genuinely didn't know. One was I was swerving apparently. Nothing to do with 2 young lads driving around at 2.30am and the other for a headlight that wasn't working.

On the bike I've never been pulled, but chances are it will be for excess speed.

The correct answer is,

"I don't know, it depends on how long you've been following me."

Me: "Yes"

Surely it's "Screw you copper, you'll never take me alive !!" then leg it.

Apparently the reply to
"Do you know why I've stopped you?"
Is NOT
"No, why. Do you not?"

Probably "I'm not sure officer."

And if you were blates speeding, and they ask why.

"Oh I'm sorry, I was concentrating on the road not on my speedo so I couldn't say how fast i was going"

Works for me.

"Technically, you haven't stopped me as we're both still travelling at something between 500-800 mph as the Earth rotates, whilst the Earth itself is orbiting the Sun at roughly 18.5 miles per second even as the solar system orbits the Milky Way at about 155 miles per second, so all you've actually done is slow me down a bit. All of which should answer what I suspect will be your next question."

The serious answer that starts off on the good foot.

No officer, was something wrong with my driving or my bike / car.
