    I trust there is more. Folks can chime in with stories of how not to do it.

    Good job lepton !
    This shoulder parking thing is getting out of hand .
    I recently saw a Yahoo pulling an OD load on 55 in Missouri parked on the shoulder walking his dog out in the right of way .

    Wow. Normally OSOW drivers are the best...but then there are a few that make me wonder whether they had stupid mommas.

    Most of these dopes are looking at their Qualcomm, phone or doing a 30 .
    Those legitimacy broke down are to dumb to set the triangles out correctly.
    I dont crowd traffic to my left for these idiots anymore .

    Well next you need to do one one what to do if you pass your turn off or destination, I used to see way to many guys get in a bind instead of going on down the road to a safe place to turn around.

    Averitt Express made a direct left turn from the shoulder, at 1 mph, on to I-65 in front of me today. Some people just need killin'.
