I know what you mean. I try to get over anytime I see someone on the side of the road. The only time I don't is if I can't because someone next to me can't see them or isn't looking far enough ahead to see them to let me over. I know it isn't fun being over there and I try to give them as much room as I can. Here in Michigan the law requires you to pull to the shoulder for an emergency vehicle (cop car,ambulance, fire truck) to pass, and also for you to move over when there is a stopped emergency vehicle,tow truck, or road maintenance truck/workers on the road or shoulder of the road. If you can move over, the law says you must slow down to a safe speed. Most people do move over for a police car, they're afraid of being stopped. But if you're a road worker or a tow truck driver, you can't ticket them, so it's full speed past you for most of them. I don't think that most people here in MI even know that the move over law applies to road workers and tow trucks as well as police and fire vehicles. Many times when patching potholes on the freeway we will be driving on the shoulder having to drive into the slow lane a couple feet to go around an overpass abutment, and people will still pass you in the same lane you are 2' into. And for many of you that haven't walked on a freeway, it's a lot wider than you think when you're trying to patch potholes on the other side and cars are coming at you at 80 mph. Many times on the big potholes you have to throw the majority of the patch from the shoulder at the pothole in the middle, because you usually don't have enough time to run in front of both lanes of cars to get more than 1 shovelful in it. A lot of people just plain drive like jerks no matter what they are doing.

Today's Featured Article - Farmall 460: That's My Girl - by LeAnn R. Ralph. How many sounds can you think of that are as familiar to you as your own breathing? What about the hum of your refrigerator? Or the thump of your clothes dryer? Maybe the engine of your car? You hear those sounds every day, and you don't think much about them, do you.
