There's one question police always tend to ask when pulling a car over and there's an important reason you shouldn't answer it.

If you've ever gone to bed overthinking something you said over 10 years ago or worrying about the next time you get behind the wheel and whether you may ever get pulled over by the cops, fear not, because help is here.

US attorney Narimon Pishnamaz took to YouTube to reveal the 'number one most asked question when cops pull you over' and how you should respond to it to try and make sure you get in as least trouble as possible.

In the video, Pishnamaz - who calls himself 'Attorney Pish' online - explains: "The cops will ask you, ‘Where are you coming from?’ or ‘Where are you headed?’."

Now, this seems like a completely innocent question - or technically two - to ask.

However, Attorney Pish warns it's actually a bit of a trick one.

He continues: "The cop’s testing to see if you were drinking. If you answer the question with, 'I came from a party', now he’s gonna assume you had something to drink."

Instead, Pishnamaz advises: "Don’t answer that. Invoke your fifth amendment right to remain silent."

However, some of the attorney's followers expressed concern over the advice.

One user said: "Leading with that sounds like a good way to p**s off a cop and get a guaranteed ticket lol."

Someone else quipped: "I tell them the truth, and waste both of our time. Gotta make sure I get my tax dollars worth."

Although, a third person said: “If you go full ‘due process’ so will they. You have the right to be a jerk, the cop has the right to write up every minor violation from a dirty licence plate to speeding."

And if you have been caught speeding, well, thankfully another lawyer shared some advice for that too.

Mike Mandell - who claims to be the number one lawyer on social media - uses his TikTok page to share legal expertise with followers - whether it be surrounding getting kicked off a plane, having a bad landlord, or the risks of using a fake ID.

In one of his videos, Mandell explains if you’re pulled over for driving too fast and asked how fast you think you were going, you should simply reply: “How fast was I going?”

He continues: "Never ever admit to speeding, because anything you say will be used against you."

The post amassed over 50 million views, with users flooding to the video to weigh in on the scenario and their views on Mandell's advice. One said: "Results may vary due to skin tone."

Another wrote: "But what if they lie and say I went super above the speed limit? What should we do then?"

And a third simply resolved: "Or just don't speed."
