White Line?!?

In case you were wondering there is a good reason for the white lines along the sides of road or interstates - they are placed there to give you an idea of where to begin to park if you break down along your travels -but- you still need to be careful not to park to close to that white line as something bad can still occur like it did to my BFF Blair on Monday!?!
While she was driving down an Interstate in TX!?!

Here is what she said happened:

"The lady was in the process of opening the door..." the wind grabbed it" and it flung open... The state trooper said it's really her fault... When open the door was over the white line ect..."

Here is the aftermath of that mistake:
From what I have read -&- heard it is always in your best interest to park at least 10 feet of the side of the road to ensure that this will not happen to you!?!

And like Blair also said:
"DO NOT PARK ON A BUSY INTERSTATE OF 70 MPH SPEED LIMITS AND OPEN YOUR DOOR THAT GOES ACROSS THE WHITE LINE IN THE PATH OF AN EIGHTEEN WHEELER!!!!!"


You could lose more than your door - you could lose your life!?!

And, in case you were wondering Blair was NOT at fault according to the Police!?!
The woman was not far enough off the road
-&-
opened her door into Blair's lane of traffic - just wanted to make that clear!?!
