    A radio isn't just for traffic and mooing at random drivers. But it'll save you some wheels before the last few out nuts fly off, or your fairings, or the Hispanic Midget sitting on your dot bumper catching a lift. Or your door swinging open, or your trailer lights flashing like a disco club, or just not working because the pig tail is dragging behind you on the ground. I mean I've seen almost all of this, and I also almost lost 2 wheels off off of my 5th axle but a nice guy on the radio was telling me I was about to lose them as I was passing him. Sure enough 2 lug nuts left on the rim lol

    I don't know but when my pre-pass goes red and the sign says ok to by pass I go right on by the scale, the same is true if I get a green light on pre-pass and the sign says must exit I fly right on by haven't been nailed in 13 years for it.

    I think you've been really lucky on that one.

    idk been doing it in state of Washington and Nebraska (but now since my pre-pass doesn't work in the state of Washington when I go by ridge field if the sign doesn't light up I don't go in either.)

    Every time I walk by the radios in the T/S I think, I should just buy one. And then go nah! Yet whenever I hit traffic I think, should've bought a gosh darn radio

    why so you can be like every other driver with a BACKUP RADIO. wont hear a peep out of em until they get in a backup then its "why we stopped"
