So I'm sure we know about the "move over" law, that requires all vehicles to move over at least one lane or slow down if you can't move over when approaching a stopped emergency vehicle.
I was traveling in the rightmost lane on a three-lane highway. This particular stretch has a high, solid sound barrier, which is important to the story. As I'm coming around a curve, the barrier prevented my ability to see the shoulder, and the next thing I know, I'm slamming on the brakes to obey the aforementioned law, as a police car has pulled over a truck RIGHT ON THE CURVE THAT I CAN'T SEE AROUND.
This is also a pretty narrow shoulder, so if the cop happened to have been getting out of the car at that moment, I could have clipped his door or himself. I just turned 18 too, so it would have been off to the penitentiary I go for vehicular manslaughter.
