In my particular situation, I did not intentionally stop in an unsafe place nor am I suggesting that you stop in a way that is obviously unsafe. I did exactly what you suggested. I felt that stopping where I was would have been unsafe for the officer. Narrow, two lane road with no shoulders ... basically pavement and then trees. I probably could have moved half the width of my car off the pavement resulting in blocking about half of my travel lane. So, I turned on my hazards and proceeded slowly for approximately 1/4 mile to a parking lot. I could tell she wasn't happy. I apoligized and said I didn't have anywhere to pull over safely. She informed me, quite emphatically, that that was *not* my decision to make. Further, by pulling into the parking lot I actually put her (exposed her) to more danger than I would have if I would have just stopped in the street. As I understood it, it was something about the way she had to position her vehicle or approach my vehicle as a result of not stopping on the side of the street. Also, remember that video a few months about from a dashboard cam where the police officer forced a mini-van off the road because the driver didn't stop soon enough? That driver, with kids in the car, was looking for a safe place to stop. I think all the cops need to get together and decide once and for all what they want us to do. Keith
