Well I don’t see many opportunities on the 2 lane roads I drive to safely pull over, and when I do see someone do it they usually slow down (sometimes almost to a stop) and damn near cause an accident in the following vehicles… then the following vehicles and/or new approaching vehicles speed up to prevent the vehicle that pulled over from safely reentering the cart way…
The act of pulling over, no matter how noble is a generally dangerous move in most places… traveling the speed limit on a berm isn’t exactly safe either, littered with debris that can damage the vehicle doing so…
Where are all of these pullover lanes anyway??? Outside of areas where there is a lot of high load high use vehicles I don’t see the traffic engineers designing and installing them…
If I can’t pull over safely, I will take my chances with the impeding ticket before I endanger myself or anyone else…
