The one thing an officer wants to see are your hands. So keep 'em both on top of the steering wheel and leave 'em there until he/she asks you to provide the necessary documentation. You may not like the PERSON who pulled you over, but that badge they're wearing does deserve respect. Show that respect, cooperate calmly, and no matter what happens, at least you'll know you handled yourself like a gentleman!
They have a tough, thankless job. The only good people they usually meet during the course of the day, are those who are having one of the worst days of their lives. Cops are human too, and as long as you remember that, the encounter doesn't have to be a horrible one.
(Okay, I'll get off my soapbox now.)
