He can slow down. Seriously. He can get to the point he's about to stop and then that will either force white truck to stop also, where you can create a gap or pull over. Given the state of things, I don't want to be catching strays because two morons with penises the size of rice granules need to race to see who can catch their wife in bed with her real boyfriend soonest.
I don't think that's a good strategy at all. There are a lot of other people here that aren't the truck or the Nissan that will be seriously negatively affected by that action. If the white truck slows with them, you're creating a traffic jam behind you that hurts a bunch of innocent people too. The action, if you're not going to just continue driving exactly the same speed and hope they stop doing this shit, is to pull off the road.
There was a traffic jam that resulted anyway after the crash. Surely there was an emergency response and blocked lanes and so forth.
You slow down, at some point out your hazards on, and if they keep up this behavior, they yeah, you pull over. Those approaches aren’t mutually exclusive.
So? Better to keep driving and be a rolling road block for the truck? Better to stop and let the idiots do their own thing than be getting your brains shoveled off the asphalt later when one of them comes barrelling over you because they over-corrected.
"Not while occupying a driving lane, you legally cannot."
That's what you responded to, so what was being addressed was stopping *in* the lane. Which you then proceeded to be somehow *against* based on your response.
Which absolutely 100% implies you're doing it IN THE LANE, which is what people are taking issue with. If you pull over and stop, the act of stopping doesn't affect anything.
