The only times I've been asked "Do you know why I pulled you over?" was when I had a tail light out. I figured the reason they asked was to see if I was already aware of the problem. In one case, I was literally on my way to buy a new headlight, and they accepted that as an answer and sent me on my way.

Interesting that they use such an underhanded phrasing, if their intentions are only good. Why not "do you know that your tail light is out?"
