If lit up, I slow down, turn on flashers (in my truck, where flashers do't work, I will wave to acknowledge the officer) and drive to a lit, populated area.

I had this happen once. It was at night, and I noticed a police car next to me. Since I have some friends who are LEOs, I looked closely to see if I knew the officer(I didn't). He saw me looking over, and when I looked away, he got curious and ran the tag. Because I was slow changing registration (I had recently bought the truck), he hit his lights. I slowly drove to an open gas station, and we discussed the issue
