I have an eye problem that does not impact my driving. My eye Dr said if I ever have a problem with this give him a call because he had to go to court for a guy that was harassed by a cop!! I'm sure it happens but not all the time. It's fun to buy gas late at night, people think what they want about me and my stutter lol Never thought of stutter the same as the eye thing. For the record been pulled over at least 4 times and this has never come up. 3x for speed and even the time the dude was 100% just trying to mess with me late at night... I'm happy to report my stutter was not a factor. If you are ever pulled over you aren't going to want to say much. It's about answering questions so a lot of yes, no and info on where you are coming from and going to and if you are in a hurry why. In fact if you were speeding and that's it the interaction will be a lot shorter than you think. Unless it's a big ticket you aren't going to NEED a lawyer to pay the ticket or appear and appeal the cost. " have a lawyer" just means know a few names god forbid a bad apple does decide to try and ruin your night. I keep a pen with a lawyers name in my glove box but have never worked with the lawyer on the pen. Keep your documents accessable and make sure you check your head/tail lights from time to time to make equipment stops less likely. It also helps to keep your car clean and make sure you have passengers who can behave. I put the child window locks on for a friend who vapes so if he's going to blow a cloud out my window he has to ask me to roll it down at an acceptable place to plume out. Tobacco vape isn't illegal but that doesn't mean your friend's vape cloud isn't suspicious enough to get you pulled over by a bored enough cop. If you do drink and drive to the places you drink you might want to invest in a pocket breathalyzer just for your own peace of mind to know you are in fact under the legal limit.
