Very sad to hear of things like this, the only thing I can think of is how dangerous the side of a road is in our current society. Highways while much worse, than a 2 lane state road, if your vehicle is disabled, I think it wise to limp it in off the road if possible without putting oneself in danger, and or quickly and safely get out of the vehicle, get a safe distance away (not always possible depending on your location) from it. Point is fooling around with it while near the road, white line etc, is extremely unsafe, even when you have safety devices, highly visible safety apparel like construction workers wear, better to call for help and wait it out safely away from it if possible, its amazing how many inattentive, distracted or intoxicated drivers are out there, can't forget this if you are a driver.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
