A good driver will pull on the shoulder and park when the fog gets as

my car wrecked. Then again, when the fog is that bad, I avoid getting
on a freeway, or get off the nearest ramp when it begins. Some drivers
have no brains.

Only stupid drivers would park on the side of the road and become a
target. Smart drivers will take the exit ramp and get to a safe
place.

Smart drivers, if the conditions permit, will be off, way off, on the
berms and not wait for an exit.

Assuming there are berms. *In many places, there is but a normal width
shoulder, a very dangerous place to stop in good weather, let alone in
fog. *If no place to hide, I'm getting off.

It is the rare freeway that does not have wide, shallow berms. Of
course the byways are another sory.

You are in dense fog and will wait for an exit? Not me, I will be as
far off the road as I can get (withoing reason) as soon as I can find
the edge of the highway.
