Shoulder parking accidents

Both are at fault, unless the vehicle stationary on the shoulder is truly a break-down can't move.

I don't give a hoot if something "sounds" racist, facts are facts, most of the heavy wrecks we clean up are flip-flop wearing steering wheel holders .... and they suck at that!

 

Most of the problems for the last 30 years up here have originated in one identifiable group. You would think that would be easy to clean up. But nooo, they’re too scared of their own discrimination laws to put an end to it. The highways are lethal, but at least they didn’t offend anyone.

 

I will, however, have to contest myself of one incident - it was a younger white dude in a loaded semi that crossed well over the shoulder line to sideswipe my rollback, wasted the deck on it.

Then he lied to the trooper, told him there was a black car beside him. My front & rear cameras showed the car not to be black, but invisible!

To you folks, that wake-up rib may be a funky noise, to me it is bloody well INCOMING! RUN!! And it's getting worse.

 

A little shorter post.

Sometimes the "parked vehicle" is Parked because of a variety of Mechanical Issues and was unable to clear the Lane(s).

IF the "one in the breakdown Lane" IS Broken Down (hence, cannot move under own power) and Has flashers as well Reflectors out and still gets hit, how is such the Fault of The Operator/Driver who is NOT, by the way, intoxicated or high on some other substance AND had called (1 or all) State Bear/City Kitty/County Mountie for assistance as well a Wrecker?

See Above.

I concur.

TRUE.

However, IF the assaulted vehicle was LEGALLY PARKED due to Breakdown like blown/exploded steer tire or blown engine, etc., and had appropriate reflective triangles and/or reflective/flashing (mesmerizing?) devices as per what I have understood of the "FMCSR road rules", then broken down driver is not at fault.

(I'm NO Road Scholar Lawyer nor in-cab/sleeper personal defense attorney, just another ex Road Warrior Class A Driver with one accident in 2013 and zero problems from Breakdown Lanes)

I no copy this:

There's a statistical percentage of Home Grown Drivers that DGAF.
I'm not one that gathers statistics.

HOW is it considered "racist" when Stating potentially verifiable FACTS without defining/specifying particular Individuals??
There's AN EXTREMELY LARGE PERCENTAGE of Americans with FOREIGN Ancestry.
One of my DISTANT Relatives came from SCOTLAND in the 1500's and possibly, maybe had something to do with a couple Named Cities In Northern Virginia.

Stating FACTS Is not "racist".

The word "foreigners" is not stating race.

The Musical Group FOREIGNER isn't a "racist" term.

 

The number of "broke down trucks" is oddly 10X 15X overnight compared to day. Wouldn't the breakdowns be higher when more are operating daylight than overnight?

Cut the breakdown excuse crap, we all know exactly what's going on. These drivers decide F the motoring public, F you and your kids, I'm parking on the shoulder next to 70mph traffic lanes whether a heavy fog to roll in tomorrow morning, heavy rain, heavy traffic, whatever, ## people.

It's extremely dangerous and careless.
Both the parking and the merger back on travel lane is dangerous. Use an entry/exit ramp or RA- NOT a shoulder.

 

I still want to know what love is.
