It is normal for the driver to be nervous while the officer is talking to them.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Not sure
• D. Sometimes

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that nervousness during a police interaction at a traffic stop is a normal, common reaction. A driver is facing an uncertain outcome, potential penalties, and the authority of the officer, which can trigger the body's stress response—fast heartbeat, trembling, a longer pause before answering. This is natural and does not indicate guilt. Officers are trained to expect this nervousness and to respond with calm, clear communication to help the situation stay safe and orderly. Saying it’s true reflects how typical it is for people to feel anxious in such moments, whereas claiming it’s never normal or only sometimes would miss the consistency of this human reaction.
