Try being in Los Angeles with no shoulder to stop on. And your ecm loses power. Shutting down your engine.
blairandgretchen Thanks this. -
You put your four way flashers on, and then the next thing you do is? And how long do they give you to do it?

You don't turn the hazards on.
You'll confuse traffic.
Use turn signals so traffic knows.
Then hazards once out of traffic.
You'll get out of traffic a lot easier that way. -
It’s like the train engineer says. I don’t control the speed I don’t control rail traffic I don’t control the brakes I don’t even control the horn it’s all done by a computer but let the train derail and who are they yelling at

Back before the internet and social media if your truck lost power you immediately put on your right turn signal and coasted over to the shoulder as best you could.
Put on your four ways and put out your triangles or in some cases your fuses.
And,,, if it was possible you grabbed a bright colored object or light and directed traffic.
But today,, who knows??
