They can assume I'm reaching into my glove box to get the insurance and registration, or they can assume I'm reaching for a weapon and as a result be a bit on edge. I'll wait until they are right at my window so they can have a clear line of sight of what I'm doing. In the two times I've been pulled over, that approach didn't cause me any problems.

One of the most dangerous and scary things a police officer does is a traffic stop. You NEVER know what you are going to get.
To make the experience more pleasant for everyone, when pulled over, roll the window down, then sit in your seat with both hands visibly on the wheel until the officer starts giving directions.
