Finally, answer any questions the police officer may have. Keep the answers brief and avoid rattling on about irrelevant details. Communication will be slow. The faster you can give important accurate information, the sooner the police officer can respond. Don't make any sudden wild gesturing.

If a police officer is unaware that you cannot hear, your signing may easily be misinterpreted, perhaps as a gang signal, and will make the police officer nervous. Don't play stupid to get out of a ticket. The police officer knows if you can drive a car, you are smart enough to know what is happening. Playing stupid will only make the police officer mad. Don't play games with the police officer.
