    Sad, & sad that nowadays its very dangerous to pull over on the shoulder of our roads, even when its necessary.

    I wonder if the first one involved a Prime trainee.. Add that to the pile of reasons why team training is generally a bad idea.

    I've said this so many times before but feel it cant be overstated..parking on the shoulder is one of the most dangerous things you can do. The only valid reason for doing it is if the engine shuts down and there is no choice.

    Coincidence. Virtually all authorities agree there are dangerous stretches of roads, but I disagree.

    Maybe there are a lot of crashes in certain segments, but somehow the vast majority manage to make it through w/o crashing.

    According to the FHWA the most common single-vehicle crash circumstances are; while going straight on a clear, dry roadway in daylight conditions the vehicle leaves the road for no apparent reason.
