> There is negligible danger pulling over on the freeway. Is this really true? I don't know of any evidence either way, but it's not hard to find articles warning against it. Here's one randomly selected from a google search: http://www.allenandallen.com/blog/the-shoulder-of-the-highway-is-a-dangerous-place.html http://www.allenandallen.com/blog/the-shoulder-of-the-highwa... Since I have no hard evidence either way, I have to go with my gut, which says that pulling over on a freeway shoulder is dangerous and should only be done as a last resort. But I would welcome evidence to the contrary.
