It's a safety issue, isn't it? I mean slowing down on a motorway/freeway when there are people on the side of the road simply ensures their continued health. I was slowed down by a breakdown the other day - a boat trailer with a flat tyre. The cop and the car driver were sitting on the armco barrier chatting while waiting, presumably, for the RAC or the AA. The cop's vehicle was parked on the hard shoulder with cones out and his blue lights flashing. I have no problem with that. Killing people, even at a two-lane remove, is no part of my agenda!
