I agree on walk arounds. I do one every time I stop. But, if my lights went out I wouldn't try to repair on site of freeway in the middle of heavy traffic.
Guess there's two examples of lack of common sense.

It was dark and people were flagging them down that they had an issue, didn't know what it was until they pulled over...too dangerous to pull back out into traffic with no lights, too dangerous to drive with no lights even if they had not pulled over...I65 northbound was extremely busy Monday nite. Safest thing he could do in my opinion was to pull over as far off lane as possible which he did. Cord didn't pull out as some asked, it wore into about 3ft from the plug where it had been dragging on the pavement.
I had a similar thing happen with my car hauler during daylight.
The DIC in my Silverado told me.
