This is kinda relevant to what the OP wrote. Yesterday, was in a funeral procession for a fallen officer. About 150 of us in patrol vehicles with lights flashing escorting the body.
Of course the road going our direction was blocked off for us so no one else was on it as we were traveling. But the other side, man, what a show. We honestly did appreciate all the drivers who actually stopped to show respect. But I couldn't count how many just randomly stopped in the middle of the lanes of the highway instead of pulling off to the shoulder. And this was not like a bunch of cars in one spot blocking the highway, This was random cars here and there just stopping in their lanes, with traffic still coming. Crazy. Thankfully all of our lights slowed people down quite a bit so there were no incidents that I am aware of.
Some people just don't quite think things out.
