I'm thinking if you blocked it with your scooter, you would pretty much be completely on the shoulder and then maybe people wouldn't let you back int.
BTW, for all of you blocking the shoulders -- a lot of police will give you a ticket for doing this. If someone is driving on the shoulder, they are already a lawbreaker, and unlikely to take kindly to your blocking them.
Police don't want citizens to take the law into their own hands, and see too many accidents and worse caused by shoulder-blockers. If the other driver isn't allowed to drive on the shoulder, neither are you, and they will consider you to be doing so if you are over enough to block the shoulder.
Anyway, it just takes one time when you later read that somebody with a medical emergency couldn't get to the hospital because they were stuck in traffic and somebody was blocking the shoulder and wouldn't let them by to understand that sometimes people's time IS more valuable than yours, and if they are willing to risk a traffic ticket there might be a good reason.
I noted someone else said they drove a half mile on the shoulder to reach an exit. I think most of us wouldn't mind people getting on the shoulder in a traffic jam to work their way to an exit, we only get upset if they pull back in off the shoulder. But how do you tell?
