I'm still not quite clear on what you mean by intimidation at a traffic stop.

People lie to us. All the time. Its our job to get around the lies and seek the truth. I can't even count the times I ask someone if they had anything to drink and I smell the booze, they say they didn't, and then they blow a WARN or a FAIL. Or when I smell weed in a car, they say they don't have any and a search turns up a couple grams... and then once caught in the lie, their story changes slightly to a version of the truth, and then sometimes, later, to a more realistic version of the truth.

As for "the initial question....", its not about the initial question. You don't catch someone out in a lie in one question 99% of the time. Its the follow-up questions and having a story repeated and finding the inconsistencies, etc etc etc
