Is this a bad thing? Definitely shouldn't be driving during these conditions due to low visibility, high risk of significant damage leading to crash, etc.
Yes, it is bad.
Road is critical infrastructure & you arent the only user.
How can this not be a problem for emergency vehicles and other cars in severe weather
(not to be rude, exaggerating for the point)
If you ever think the conditions are too dangerous to drive in then you slowly pull over off the side of the road, you don't block it for every other vehicle. Blocking a lane is exactly how you cause accidents.
This is just some egocentric shit.
Fuck yeah it is, are you joking?
Yes, this is a bad thing. As you said, visibility is poor and then someone comes to a dead stop somewhere in front of you on an interstate or someplace where you don’t expect stopped traffic, that can also easily lead to a crash. In the event of heavy hail, you are supposed to slow down, not stop, try to use the exit and take cover in a safe place, preferably not in the flow of traffic.
