I would always approach the drivers window and direct the driver to exit the vehicle with his DL and registration. All conversations then occur outside the vehicle on the passenger's side.

Now if the freeway was really busy, I might approach the front passenger window and give directions to exit the vehicle there. Either way, rarely will you see a LEO writing a ticket etc. while the trucker/RVr etc sits inside the vehicle....as I always told my kids, there's 78,000 violations in the California Vehicle Code, just sitting in your car, you're probably violating several. Be a jerk and the officer will find those violations. How you handle yourself goes a long way to how long you are going to sit there.
I'm reminded of the traffic stop I made where the guy was a real pistol. He kept yelling and using profanity while I was writing his ticket. I was on my third ticket before he asked what I was doing. I politely told him as long as he kept talking, I'd keep writing. He shut up...:B...Dennis
