on our two lane roads I pull off the road so as not to be rear ended if I'm in a place where I can't be seen for a ways. No way do I stop on a four lane though.
I just did this the other day, me an my golf cart IE mushroom hunting vehicle on a trailer and I meet a funeral procession so I continue until I get to the drive way I see a hundred yards in front of me so I can get both my ass and my trailer off the road.

Around here most times there will be a police car with his light on leading the procession as was the case here
