What does "pull into the breakdown lane" mean? Below is a quote from the TV series "Good Place". - You know how some people *pull into the breakdown lane* when there's traffic? And they think to themselves, "ah, who cares? No one's watching." - We were watching! Surprise. I'm confused cause someone translated this as something like "some people cut in(meaning that they interrupt another person?)", but the dictionary says the phrase mean "pull over onto the breakdown lane", which I guess means to stop? the car. What exactly does it mean?
