Re: [ST] Rear Ended.

[Matt Knowles <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Once the driver of the vehicle who is going to be doing the rear 
ending realizes she can't stop in time, is she going to head for the 
shoulder or try to squeeze between two lanes of stopped cars? You 
might also find that the person in front of you decides to also head 
for the shoulder to make room, which could ruin your day if you 
happen to be passing him at the time.

On the other hand, I agree with the previous post, I'd rather not 
become the meat in a car sandwich.

Best advice is to get as far ahead of the impending mess as you can, 
either on the shoulder, or between cars, which ever is quicker.
