Where do you expect him to pullover? To drive 5km to the next parking lot?

How about litteraly 1km further since its LITTERALY THE BEGINGING OF AN EXIT RAMP.

(You can the the dots on the right side beginning.)

This was legit one of the WORST PLACE to stop.

The problem is that cops LOSE THEIR SHIT if you dont pull over the moment they light up.

Blaming the parked SUV in the SHOULDER and not the SUV that refused to slow down and was also failing to stay in their own lane is nuts. Since when driving through the shoulder to get to your exit normal but being pulled over in the shoulder isn’t?

Perhaps. Let's say I grant you that argument.

Sometimes disabled vehicles don't get a choice where their momentum ends, does that mean that oncoming traffic shouldn't be prepared to deal with that situation?

There's no way to safely pass 2 cars that are on the shoulder near an exit ramp, an accident was inevitable in this situation. Is this what you're arguing?

That's kind of the impression I'm getting.

My argument is that a driver on the freeway should be prepared to safely pass any obstacle that remains on the shoulder of the freeway until they pass.

In this situation, no cars or pedestrians were in the right of way during this accident. Therefore the moving car should have been able to navigate the 'obstruction' safely. Therefore, it was the moving car's fault.

Agree or disagree?
