Life lesson put to the test

Apr 1, 2018 7:25 PM

So I broke down on a motorway. Stopped and out the car immediately. Within 30 seconds Mr lorry played "bite the pillow I'm going in dry". Thankfully no one was hurt! Lesson for all kids. Don't fuck about on the motorways. Get out quick at keep clear!

Ups!

Will kindly ignore those recommending to stay in vehicle, over barrier and up embankment every time. Active or no.

Also, I'm curious as to who picks up the bill. Seems the motorway management at fault. UPS should probably sue.

Judging by the license plate, I don't think it was on its way to Cut Bank...

You can either stay in the car with the belt on(which wouldn't have been fun but you would have lived) or get *way the fuck* away. Many/

people stand next to their car. If you are out of the car get like 30 meters away from it, go up the bank, go all the way away from it.

I don't think the hard shoulder should have been made into a lane.

BMW is known for keeping occupants alive. That's why my wife drives an E53. Tough rig with reliable components.

Just for reference - the normal advice for stopping on a motorway is ... DO NOT GET OUT! You're far more likely to die as a pedestrian 1/

than as someone sat in a car on the hard shoulder. 2/2

In the UK, the advice is the opposite. Get out of the car ASAP and go up the embankment/off the road. Average time between stopping and 1/

getting hit by something is <60 seconds. That's not a guarantee you'll be hit, but if you are, it's *very* soon. 2/

What motorway was it? Also was it one of the so called “smart” motorways?

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It is, you can tell by the signs on the gantry having one over the hard shoulder instead of just the running lanes.

I am convinced that I am going to die on an American highway. A 75 mile one way commute, most of it on I-70, will open your eyes real quick.

Rains, snow, sleet, sun, beautiful weather, it doesn't matter. USA highways are deathtraps.

I looked it up. We're good. India and China are WAY more dangerous. hell, Brazil, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia are vehicular nightmares.

Omg no. That is terrible advice. Stay in your car UNLESS you are stopped in an active lane and can safely get off the road

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 5

According to OP, it was an active lane. A hard shoulder being used for heavy traffic, regulated by overhead signs

No, that is good advice. Staying in the car leads to death very often. You have no idea how common this man's story is, and dead don't talk.
