Asking The Question
When the cop reached his car, he opened his window and greeted the officer. William asked why he was getting pulled over, wondering if he had been speeding and didn’t realize it. “Good morning officer, was I speeding?” he said.
No Disrespect
He did his best to respect the cop as he was an authority figure. He didn’t want to cause any kind of trouble. However, he also wasn’t sure about the reason he got pulled over in the first place. In a calm and polite tone, he went on with his question.
