Man, everybody try and slow down a little bit out there

Your reaction whn your car breaks down depends on the situation and what kind of car you're driving. Getting out of the car can be just as dangerous.

But about that news story, what kind of fucking idiot drives down the emergency lane just to get past a truck. Drunk or not he's a stupid son of a bitch. Man, people like that make me fuckin sick. I hope he loses custody of his kid for putting him/her in danger.

It only takes one lunatic to kill you. Never forget that, whereever you go.  >:(

^ yeah thats true...

we call em "sunday drivers" over here a lot... as the roads are filled with coffin dodgers (old people) who drive once a week


generally over here the hard shoulder would be safe.. i only got out as i was on a country road with no hard shoulder and was close to a corner..

how can you say all of europe is crazier..you guys are so quick to bash the whole of europe.. europe is FORTY FIVE countries. with nearly as many languages to boot... think about it for a second.. the ends of the spectrum are as far apart in wealth, culture, road quality etc as America and Iraq.. multiply those differences up across 45 and you realise how tarnishing "europe" as being all the same is extremely fucking ignorant.

i'd imagine rural US vs city wide US driving conditions vary a great deal... cities here can be hectic.. and yes america does sound nuts.. i've heard italy is totally insane too..

some countries have very well laid down and funded motorways.. particualarly france (which can be toll based) and germany where the autobahns have no limit at all.

Trauma-san:
I hope  you weren't talking to me, I don't pretend to know what the roads are like in Europe.  I imagine they're very different depending on where you are. 

What I can talk about is this stretch of I-77 that the accident happened on.  I drive on it every day.  If I broke down on that road, I would get out of my car and as far away from the car as I could.  Like I said, a woman was hit parked in her car about a year ago on the same stretch of road, about a mile from where this happened. 

Don Seer:
i wasnt.. i was replying to the person that actually mentioned europe dude ;)



as for speed limits.. i dunno.. i wont lie.. i have a fast car and i break the limits all the time.. but never when conditions are bad, or when its busy and not when i'm tired etc.. you _do_ need your wits about you at over 80.. (the limit here is 70 btw).. in town of course i keep it slow.. theres not much choice.. its often bumper to bumper..
