Your baby seat analogy is flawed. In this case, you're having to make the decision between not pulling the car *entirely* off onto the shoulder when you have a mechanical breakdown, and risking being hit by another car - or pulling all the way onto that shoulder that looks like it's rather soft and crumbly and likely to spill your car into the ravine. (We actually had a case of that locally just a few weeks ago - a school bus going down one of the dirt roads around here went off the side.. then a dump truck coming down the road *also* went off the side just a few yards after passing the bus.. It was believed that in both cases, the soft shoulder contributed to the vehicle's sliding sideways and ending up on their sides...) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
