It does. Most people can get safely off the road without power, power

Oh bullshit, I have an 8,000# truck pulling an 8,000# trailer and
combined the rig is 48 feet long.

You presumably were driving your van.

If my engine goes dead, and I'm not in the right land, and I'm passing
someone..... I need to get over to the right lane and off the side of
the road.

I need over 49' between cars to slip in all the while slowing
down.....

If there's an 18 wheeler on my ass, I'm toast....

You have to be the most argumentative person alive.
