Asking The Question
Finally, the cop approached his car, so William rolled down the window and said hello to the officer. He proceeded to try to ask the officer if he was speeding and maybe just didn’t realize it. “Good morning officer, was I speeding?” he said.
No Disrespect
He was trying to make sure not to disrespect the police officer in any way, as he was still a big authority figure with a lot of power. He wasn’t trying to start any problems, but he also had no idea why he was getting pulled over. He kept his cool and continued with his question of what he could have done to deserve this.
