If SWMBO is in the rig w/ me, she's on the phone w/ 911 giving them our location, direction of travel, and running narrative of what's happening. I'm focusing entirely on driving. If it's just me, speakerphone and I'm trying to do the same. If I feel my life is at risk, I'm with most of you - stay on freeway where you don't have traffic lights, etc. If I hit a traffic jam, I'm in the shoulder, median, whatever the hell I have to drive on to NOT STOP. My truck weighs 7300 lbs empty. If they try to box me in and stop me, well, let's just hope I don't rip something important off the bottom of my truck.... 'cause if I feel I'm in danger, there's no way in hell I'm gonna let them stop me.
If by some chance I find myself stuck in traffic? Reference truck weight above - if I have to push other cars out of my way, well then so be it. As long as I can safely do it, I will ignore traffic lights, wrong way signs, etc.
