He said he wanted her to get out to sign the ticket/warning. Why couldn't she sign it inside her vehicle?
Last fall I got (justifiably) pulled over for speeding. Before the officer had even traveled from his motorcycle to my window, I was sobbing uncontrollably. Let's just say the day had started out badly, which contributed to my speeding, even before I got pulled over. Getting pulled over was, in my mind at that point, just the bitter icing on the crapcake.
Yet the officer didn't question my tears or even comment on them as in "You seem upset." He was so nonchalant about it that I felt compelled to explain why I was crying so bitterly. He asked for my license and registration and I gave it to him and he walked away, I presume to check my record on his vehicle's computer.
He returned to my car and handed me the papers to sign. Even though it had to be clear to him that I was an emotional wreck, he never asked me to step out of my car. He simply advised me to try to be more careful.
