If that is true (and I have no idea), that is probably a good idea.
No not really, somebody could be approaching and think you are stopped in the middle of the road! You could cause an accident by trying to prevent one!

I asked PackRat a long while ago about that when I saw a tractor-trailer do it on I-290 in Worcester once in our perpetual construction zone. He said it was simply a warning to get area drivers to slow down. Much like the flashing light signs at the sides of highways on dangerous curves, if you have those in your area.
As for following a tractor ... UGH so annoying (there are several farms on my road at home).
As for this stunt, I would probably be one of the passengers in the four cars in front (not a driver should the police pull us over) .. which pretty much explains my stance on the situation.

i couldn't see the video, b/c the server in Korea does not support Google videos for some reason. but if anyone has ever been to Korea, specifically Seoul, then you haven't seen dangerous driving. this is the 2nd most dangerous place in the world. traffic laws are not enforced and noone obeys them. well at least the korean people on the public roads. i would have so much fun if i was permitted to drive a POV while here. only humvees and LMTV's for me, and soon GOV's...i get my license for that this week.

What happens here in Florida, home to the "not in front of me" idiots, is it starts to rain and some of these bozo's put their hazards on while traveling in the fast lane. I asked a moron at a light once, "why the heck are you driving with your hazards on?". His reply? My tires are bout bald and it's dangerous".  This in a state where it rains almost every day in the summer. I told him to get new rubber or move to Arizona, but at any rate get the f&%@ off the road in the rain! I think people here get up in the morning and say aloud, how can I be a bigger dumba$$ than I was yesterday?  Jim T
