What are passengers supposed to do with their hands?

When the driver of a vehicle gets pulled over? What if there are many passengers in the back seat besides the one up front. Where do the hands go?

I would put my hands on my knees where the LE officer could see them.

If you're in the front seat, hands on the dash, if you're in the back seats, hands on the back of the seat/headrest of the seat in front of you.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

The State of Illinois will be writing new material to their drivers education curriculum on what to do when pulled over by police. We are always told to place our hands on the steering wheel. Hopefully this will be spelled out for students when they are passengers as well.

Thanks, this makes the most sense.

Seems like a very common sense answer ---- where the police officer can see them.

Gosh.......I don't have a clue. I used to make my husband ride in the back seat because he was such a nuisance. But sometimes he would squeeze between the seats to fiddle with the air conditioner or radio. A couple times he got stuck on the gear shift. A few times.......he actually climbed over the front bucket from the back seat...........He had food stashed all over the place, too................. I guess I'm lucky I was never pulled over, because he would have been a real challenge for the police officer.

The three times I got tickets I reached over to get my registration before the cop came to my window. What are we suppose to do now? Is there a new rule?
