Save who a few minutes, and in what way?

The officer walking back and forth to ask. Maybe not a minutes but whatever. I am always carrying so havent had this issue yet.

I do agree with it probably will save a few minutes if you just hand it over anyway whether carrying or not. But the question is, why aren't you!

You sure?

No law requires a driver to speak during a traffic stop. You've provided your identification; that's all that is required.

While this is true, it will seriously diminish your chances of a warning! I have a lead foot, I drive fast but safe (yes it is possible) but havent gotten a speeding ticket since 1989. Courtesy and honesty will go far. H(ouston)PD pulled me over for doing 86 on the freeway, chatted for a minute then told me to drive safe and slow down. HPD of all depts.
