Nothing is safe when left on the highway - your body included. I'd much rather drive another half mile and get to an exit than stop on the shoulder - a lot of people have been killed after stopping on the side of the road. I do not know if it is object fixation in this case - or maybe a combination of many things. Drivers on the highways are going fast - and especially at night it's hard sometimes to see things. And people get distracted while driving, too. Sometimes I see cars swerve around and then get back on the lanes - what if there was a car or a person on the shoulder right at that time when they lost control? I would not want to be standing there
