    Cop might think he is really broken down and has no choice. Worth a try. He could claim it actually was and he had his triangles out, and it would look a lot better if he got hit too.

    In new Jersey, they made it illegal for a semi to park on the road shoulder..

    That's good thinking on the part of the Jersey legislators. With a law like that they won't have to worry about something like this ever happening again. In other news, they outlawed guns in Chicago using a similar strategy.

    It's illegal in Alabama too unless you're broke down. Sleeping on the ramps then ALEA uses common sense, better to be asleep on the ramp than in the median.
    The old saying better to pull over and go to sleep than the go to sleep and fall over

    I think its even more intersting is that the LTL bar was missing prior to the crash. If it were there, the hood would have had damage.

    true, but maybe they also do it to CYA..??

    they can always say the engine was dying out and they pulled over as quickly as they could.

    But guys. Do you really need triangles if you're just on your 10-hour break? *straight face*
