I took out the battery cover. My owners book/documentation fits very nicely between the passenger seat and the passengers side sill 
It is difficult to see there, easy to get to and does not move under spirited driving.

License and proof of insurance are in my wallet - but the car's registration is keep with the car. I figure having it locked in the trunk/boot is sufficient protection - it doesn't help if I kept the registration on my person, and someone else is driving the car.:no:raggedy1 said:
As for getting out of the car for the cops - it's something I always do. Some don't like it, but I do it anyway. I explain to them that it's much safer for them - and myself - for the officer to be standing on the shoulder of the road instead of standing there with his butt hanging out in traffic. Then I explain to them that one of my friends in college had a cop killed by a passing car, and I don't ever want to experience that. :huh: I also like to take away a bit of their "looking down at you" power by standing eye to eye with the cop.
i give the registration to whomever is going to borrow my cars.TimMullen said:License and proof of insurance are in my wallet - but the car's registration is keep with the car.

so you know better than the cop that's just pulled you over? ok, whatever. in some areas and cities you could find youself in handcuffs for not listening to the officer. ever notice how an officer will offset his vehicle to yours? one reason that is done is to provide protection for the officer from passing vehicles while he/she makes his/her approach.
I always hold out my hands, and calmly explain to the officer. Never had one get bent out of shape, and several have thanked me.raggedy1 said:
I don't advocate jumping out of you car and charging at the officer. Just nicely, and politely getting out (usually before the cop does) and like I said holding my hands out so that he can see that I'm not armed, all the while explaining to him (never had a female cop stop me) what I'm doing and why. Standing five or six feet off the road away from the cars tends to make the cop and me feel more comfortable.
Then again, I haven't had all that many interactions with on-duty police officers for quite a few years - the last one was when one pulled me over so that he could apologize for cutting me off in my Miata. We stood on the side of the road and had a friendly chat for about 20 minutes - turns out he was a real nice guy.
But if you don't feel like getting out of the car, by all means remain in the car with your hands on the wheel. No cop is going to object to that at all...
