True story.. A young man is driving his elderly arthritic mother somewhere when they get a flat.. he tells her to stay in the car and he will take care of it.

Speed limit is 55mph so of course the traffic is going closer to 75 and she shuffles out and SPLAT.. Just as my troopers arrived as well. (Good police response time I have to say).
I always try to put the flat on the side of the rig NOT in traffic if possible, that way I do not have to lie in the road. But rather on the shoulder.
