AT THAT TIME THE VEHICLE PASSED ME WHERE I CONDUCTED A U-TURN AND GOT BEHIND THE VEHICLE, BEARING FLORIDA TAG U155RG. AT THAT TIME THE VEHICLE TURNED SOUTH ON SOUTH withLAPOPKA DRIVE. I THEN ACTIVATED MY EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT, AT WHICH TIME THE VEHICLE TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 75 TO 85 YARDS BEFORE COMING TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF the ROAD ON SOUTH WITHLAPOPKA DRIVE. \t \tI THEN APPROACHED THE VEHICLE AND MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER, LATER IDENTIFIED AS MR LARRY HULO. I THEN INTRODUCED MYSELF AND INFORMED HIM OF THE REASON I HAD STOPPED HIM, TO WHICH THE DEFENDANT STATED "OKAY". I THEN ASKED the DEFENDANT IF HE HAD HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE, REGISTRATION OR PROOF OF INSURANCE. the DEFENDANT HANDED ME AN INSURANCE CARD, WHICH BELONGED TO THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER, HE COULD NOT FIND THE REGISTRATION.
