Why? You aren't saving the person behind you any real time and are increasing the risk of an accident.


If it turning off of a road that has a 55mph speed limit and there’s no turn lane, you better believe I’m hitting the shoulder to slow down.

frick getting rear ended by some a-hole glancing at their phone behind me.

And frick you.

You could just use your blinker and slow down early enough.

If I'm behind you also turning right and you're in the shoulder while I'm making a legal turn, frick you

I can get behind all of this, and can think of several specific places where I do this all the time.

One is the post office in Prairieville on Airline Hwy. The turn-in is just past the red light at Post Office Road. I almost feel like it would be UNsafe not to hit the shoulder there before turning into the post office.
