Well, you don't only have the right to be on the highway, you are legally obligated to be there. The liability is strictly yours if you are rearended on the shoulder, or if you are in the process of pulling on or off the shoulder. You must have "lane position" to be protected legally. If you are rearended, in this state anyway, the person who hit you is always liable. This applys to a slow moving car, that has just pulled onto the highway, as well as slow moving farm equipment. If the vehicle that is rearended is squarely on the road, not still in the process of turning, it is considered to have "lane position". Does that make things "safe or "right"? No, not really. But that is the law. Been there, done that!
