Wow...no wonder it looks so fast :shocked: one time i saw on tv when a car stop in the middle of highway, coz has a problem with the car, and the cars behind can't just stop, so it lost it's door, and some cars still crash that car until it reach the side of the road, so scary


Yes, it's dangerous to stop for any reason on an interstate highway, partly because of the speed of the cars, and partly because drivers don't always pay as much attention to the road as they should. The highways have wide, paved shoulders, and should anything happen, one is supposed to pull over onto the shoulder as far as possible. This keeps the car out of traffic, but it's still dangerous to get out of the driver's side door, so a person always has to be careful. If the car breaks down in the middle of the road such that it can't get to the shoulder, it's almost certain to get hit, even though we're supposed to carry traffic safety triangles.
