PER CURIAM
The trial judge’s ruling in this criminal case that a police officer’s request to see defendant’s driver’s license, after the officer had pulled in behind defendant’s apparently-disabled vehicle, was an impermissible “stop” of defendant is incorrect, as is the court’s order suppressing evidence based upon that conclusion. See State v. Kennedy, 290 Or 493, 497 , 624 P2d 99 (1981).
The trial court order suppressing evidence is reversed,, and the case is remanded for trial.
