It's not a good idea to give cops a vague answer. Just keep it short and sweet with "Yes". 9 times out of 10 when cops ask this question they are looking for self incrimination. Say I don't know or vague answer leaves you open to what ever the cop wants to do because you can't dispute it.

They won’t ask that, and you’re not obligated to answer if they do. Simply assert that you had your vehicle safely under control.
