Wait, aren't we supposed to move over and slow down in response to wrecks or emergency vehicles on the shoulder? I'm pretty sure in Texas it is illegal not to slow down 10 miles per hour. After all, what's the sense in some poor guy getting his brains scattered across the highway, right in front of his wife and kids, just because he was trying to change a tire, adjacent to the lane that "more important people" have reserved for oh-so important 80mph cruising in their sweet Mustang while chatting on the cell phone about last night's episode of American Idol.
