    Why can't people just pay attention and not run into the big truck parked out of the way?

    These are the same people panic buying toilet paper because of a disease that effects the respiratory system and you want to be able to trust them not to do something stupid?

    Like Mud said, because people are frequently idiots. Don’t be one of them, take the safer option!

    Parking when I'm tired is the safer option. You make not like it, and I don't care if you do, but I'll park in the shoulder if I want. I'm tired of all this dumbing down to society and having to cater to the less responsible. If I park on a ramp and someone hits me then it's on them. If they can't avoid a big truck on the shoulder then they probably shouldn't be driving in the first place.

    Lol. It's their fault if they do. I can't help their stupidity and I'm not going to change my ways because of them.

    You can’t drive up the off ramp and cross over to the on ramp without falling asleep?

    What does it matter? I've seen the stories of the idiot getting on the highway turns onto the on ramp and runs right under a trailer. Either way you can't get away from idiots.

    Even hint at threatening me with my job and you will have another driver opening before the day is out. Assuming you have a bit of experience with a clean license your boss needs you a hell of a lot more than you need him. No need to work for those slime balls when there are plenty of good jobs out there.
     
    TripleSix, Tall Mike and Badmon Thank this.
