i don't think in many places there is sufficient room for a motorist to pull over on the break down lane....
without risking injury to themselves or a police officer
who's rendering assistance or pulling them over.
you only have to drive the mass pike or other highways to see someone driving 20 miles over the speed limit
weaving in and out of traffic and crossing three lanes
taking enormous chances to themselves and endangering everyone else on the road.
and your saying to yourself "where's the cops now?"
There should be more places every mile or so where you could actually "change a tire" or make some other emergency repairs without worrying about being rear ended... then these same places could be used for
stopping a motorist without placing the officer at risk.
But since that's probably too costly to do.... a law saying reduce your speed and give them wide berth
if possible ........isn't a bad alternative.
