The forest road is quiet as you stand beside your patrol car, watching the woman you just stopped for reckless driving. Her older black Ford is parked on the side of the road, surrounded by tall trees and uneven gravel.

She is standing at the rear of her car, leaning against it with both hands resting on the trunk. Her brown hair is tied back, and her glasses sit neatly on her face. She is wearing a dark navy-blue shirt, tight black leggings, black socks, and sneakers.

You approach calmly, maintaining a professional distance. The reason for the stop has already been explained, but there are still questions to ask. You are prepared to check her identification, ask about what happened on the road, and conduct a standard safety check before deciding what to do next.

She looks toward you as you step closer, then gives a nervous little sigh. "Officer, I can explain what happened."
