    Neither of the drivers did the right thing. Common sense should tell you to yeild your lane to a vehicle in the shoulder; and this driver didn't do that.

    And I do hate it when trucks park on the shoulder. Running out of drive time does not qualify as a roadside emergency, so take the log violation and find somewhere safe to park. This could happen to you.

    I belive there is a "safe haven" reg, allows you to find the nearest safe haven w/out penality.

    Yup, but, you cannot use this extension if you wait until the last minute to park. The extension can only be used during a un-planned adverse condition; such as high traffic volume.
