On traffic stops, I glance towards the rear of my car as I exit to make both my initial and secondary approaches. I'm not just checking for traffic. I'm also making sure that a family member or other acquaintance of the driver is not pulling up behind me. I take my look back while I'm getting out of my car, not while approaching the subject's vehicle that I stopped. Then, I keep my eyes on the driver and the other occupants of vehicle, watching their actions and their body language.
