I just wanted to add one more thought about being stopped in a vehicle:

My step-dad is a retired fire chief, and has always been VERY safety concious. One of the things that he has always stressed is....when you are stopped in a turning lane, keep your tires lined up in the position to move you FORWARD in the event that you are hit from behind as opposed to sitting there with your wheel cut hard to the left....at which a hit from behind can push you right into oncoming traffic.
