1. Since I am driving, I should avoid sudden braking that could disrupt traffic. Instead, I should gently reduce my speed and activate my turn signal to indicate my intention to pull over.
2. I must either move my vehicle to the side or find a nearby lane to stop.
3. Staying composed is crucial; nervousness can be interpreted as suspicious. I would turn off my engine and lower the driver's side window to allow the officer to approach. However, I should refrain from exiting my vehicle unless instructed to do so.
