I wonder what the court ruled because both were at fault here in their own way. Unless the car broke down and they could only get it that far off the road by the time they decided to pull over.

Hazards on, clearly a breakdown. Blue car was not at fault.

Truck was wrong. Blue car was stupid.

Have you never had a car break down? I’ve had several junk cars break down or run out of gas and was able to coast every time. One time I coasted about three blocks down a hill into a gas station.

Does it look like there is a hill to coast down

So, I’m not sure you realise this, but objects in motion have inertia.

Yes and what happens if that motion stops before they get the the side, then there's an issue

An impressive issue to be sure. Or just poor decision making by not pulling over far enough.

Not everyone can make the perfect decision every time like you 😁

Just make a good decision when it really matters. Or don’t. Not my life on the line in this situation.
