what's light to use when you pull over on highway?

I use my turn signal first then once pulled over I put my 4ways on.

 

Flashers.

Turn off headlights. Don't hibeam oncoming traffic while waiting for a tire. Leave all the other ones on and put your triangles out.

Properly.

 

Why are you pulling over on a highway?

 

The only reason to pull over is for a breakdown or a flat tire. Unless you're running pop and stops or lose a steer tire you should keep going to the next exit or a place where you can get well off the road. The service guy will appreciate not having to work on your truck with traffic zipping by inches from his butt.

 

Does not matter if your within 10 feet of the traveled portion of the highway, 4 ways while your putting out your reflectors.

For entering and exiting the shoulder turn signals.

 

Just don't park on the shoulder.
Just . . . don't . . . do . . . . it.

(here is where I attach many news stories of dead people who did)

 

Well, to be fair - thanks for asking. The dumb questions are . . . etc.

Blown steer tire, yes.
Total engine failure, yes.

But for any other reason - NO. Do not stop on the shoulder. Limp it to the next exit. Far safer.

I see too many drivers taking their dogs potty, Going potty, taking their 30, swapping drivers, changing logs . . . all totally inexcusable. While the rest of the traffic goes into mayhem mode trying to avoid them.

Stay safe, and thirsty, my friends.

 

I agree but not limping in the lane, that is worse than parking on the shoulder.
