Actually...it doesn't mean anything. It's not in the DMV handbook and AAA recommends putting your hood up and staying with your car. A state trooper friend says it doesn't prevent you car from being towed and he doesn't know why its done. I think people do it simply because they see others do it.

I wouldn't want someone thinking I'm stranded and walking down the interstate.

What is a driver's offside?

If a car is driving along a road, (on its correct side of the road for the country) then the side nearest the curb (sidewalk)/edge of the road is called the "near side". By implication, the side nearest the center of the road is then referred to as the "offside". Normally the side on which the driver sits will be the "offside" of the car. However, if the car is left hand drive and driving in a country that drives on the left, then the driver will be on the "near side" while driving in that country.
