    Instead of filming how about run down the road and flag people to slow down?

    "run down the road" yeah good idea.. run down that road with snow and ice with vehicles losing control everywhere.
    No danger there.

    Plus the ignorant drivers going 70 on snow won't pay any attention to a guy waving at them on the side of the road anyway.
    You can't save people from themselves.


    btw this is an example why you don't stand or walk near a road when there's ice.

    its funny you say that,, i was thinking about putting up a motorcycle video (guy riding crazy between lines of traffic) and i figured, with all the legal beagles, all you would get is condemnations

    a guy posts about how he USED to do drugs, and everyone condemns him

    after a while you gotta realize that TTR is full of perfect drivers who never speed, always googlemaps their routes, perfectly time their overnight stays without going over hours and no matter what accident happens, a TTR poster knows how it is the driver's fault and it would never have happened to them

    I'm amazed at the speed of the vehicles. I shouldn't be because of "Driver Ego" Everyones "Experienced" allegedly. As i have said before there isn't one driver that has skills enough to match
    Mother Nature, she ALWAYS wins

    That's I94... its always a race track between Detroit and Chicago. Everyone thinks they can get away with not slowing down before they go through a band of near zero-visibility lake effect snow. Once you get into it, its also nearly impossible to brake without starting a jackknife.

    CB or not if you're not paying attention to your driving you're toast. A CB helps a lot whatsoever.

    what people type on a keyboard and what they actually do offline may differ

    i take my responsibility very serious, for i too want to come home at the end of the day, but i also realize that ME and others are human and prone to all sorts of errors, mistakes, misjudgments

    its what makes life fun
     
    allniter and misterG Thank this.
