Probably.

All they need is "reasonable suspicion" that something isn't right to make a traffic stop.


TinyButUgly
LOL you think a cop needs a reason to stop you?


Terry
Yes.


I like old escorts

The law can stop you for anything.

yeah. he will want to see if your legal to have people in the car


Skaggmo
Yes. He must have a probable cause to stop you. In other words, he must have a reason. If you look too young to drive, that is a good reason.

Well yeah, but there is nothing to worry about if your not breaking any laws.


Chaz
If you have to look through the steering wheel to see, that would be probable cause...yes.


mhmmm
yup he can. he will pull you over and check to see if you have your license and how long you've had it.

Regardless of how many people you have.
If you look too young, then yes they can.

They have a lot of authority and can stop you for almost any reason.

the cops have to have "reason to believe" that you are going against the law in your state.
If you are talking bout the "six month rule" then no you wont get pulled over for just looking too young. you willl only get pulled over if there is something else wrong such as a broken tail light or registration. Sometimes cops run your plate numbers and see that you have been very frequently ran throught the PD computers, so they will pull you over with no reasoning and they will make up an excuse.

Cops cant just pull you over for looking young. but sometimes they do and they make up an excuse and say that they pulled you over for a completely different reason.

but when i was like 14 and 15 i always used to take my moms car out and go to t-bell with my buddies.

so just dont worry bout it. and dont drive like a fool.

hope this helps bro

Yes. Just show them your drivers license and don't give them trouble and you will be fine if you are old enough.

yea. its the same thing as if you look really young and are drinking a beer or in a bar. they will ask for some ID.


rookgaroo
Just looking too young is enough. If a cop wants to stop you, he will.

ya of course

A cop can stop you if you do something that gives him probable cause to pull you over. If you look fourteen years old and driving a car, he has enough probable cause to stop you and ask for your driver's license to prove your age.


Jenny
Yes, were they wearing seat belts? and children under current ages as to be in a boster chair or car seat depending on what state u live in

It's called probable cause. So yes - they can.

If you are legal, then you have nothing to worry about.


Logic316
I don't think it matters how many passengers you have with you, but if you look too young to drive that is considered probable cause for a stop. There have been cases of adults being stopped because they look young for their age. The only thing I can recommend is sitting on an extra seat cushion and growing a mustache.


~Khanokh~
Yes, some people are just too young. Young can be illegal.


Independ"ant"
It depends on the state you live in.

In mine they have to have just cause. Lights out, seat belt not on, speeding, looking like your 9 yrs old..etc.


Its to prevent bored policemen harassment of innocent citizens.

if you don't have a headlight, or taillight, or you're swerving everywhere(basically if they don't have reasonable suspicion to pull you over, chances are they will not

Can they stop you? - Yes

Can they ticket you just for looking too young? - No, not as long as you haven't broken any laws and have a valid license.

yes

They can stop you, but if you can prove you're old enough then they have to let you go.


jay
i might look young but im 15, and i drove on the road before, all i had to do is make my seat sit up high, drive normal, make ur face look like a grown person, and make ur nose big- depends on how small ur nose are, and put on some shades, make your chest hard and big like superman, and look mad a little.
