WHAT TO DO,

If you're signalled to stop by a police vehicle using blue lights, flashing headlights, or illuminated signs:

✅ Before You Stop

• Stay calm
• Indicate to show you've seen the police vehicle
• Pull over safely as soon as practical
• Choose a safe location where you won't cause a hazard to other road users
• If you're uncomfortable stopping in an isolated area, slow down, put your hazard lights on, and continue to a well-lit public place

✅ Once You Have Stopped

• Remain in your vehicle unless instructed otherwise
• Keep your hands visible, preferably on the steering wheel
• Lower your driver's window
• At night, switch on your interior light
• Follow any instructions given by the officer

⚠️ Remember

• Police officers have the power to stop vehicles on a public road
• Failing to stop when directed may be an offence
• Most vehicle stops are routine and nothing to worry about

🤝 A safe stop helps keep both you and the officer safe.
