What is the driver's responsibility before the law enforcement officer approaches their vehicle during a stop?
Before the law enforcement officer approaches, the driver should keep their hands on the steering wheel where the officer can see them. This action helps to reassure the officer that the driver is not reaching for any suspicious items, thereby reducing the potential tension during the stop and promoting safety for both parties.
