    Those signs aren't really disingenuous, confusing or hard to see. Missing one, maybe. All three? That's on you.

    With all the new "Autonomous" trucks, there won't be any driver's so there won't be any need for the temporary check stations. Problem solved.

    Says he got 5 points, isn't that 5 points X3 for 1 year X2 for year 2 and then x1 for the final year? If so then you didn't get 5 points, you got 15. And 15 points ain't nothing to cry over. I got a level 1 in troutville VA scale and was hit on an abs light not working, found out the wire was corroded. I fixed it on site, still got the points 3 points X3 years, total of 9 points. Not once has anyone every given me flak about it. Stop being upset over something useless. Worry about your driving record.

    When did Vicksburg float down to Loosianna? Or is another scale what you had in mind?

    Here is a funny story. Back in the 80's I went down to Meh he co. On my bike. On the way back, I rode up on some traffic cones and some dude sitting in a lawn chair next to a car. Dont remember any signs. I dint know it was a border check point. I rode by, he waved, I waved back. Couple miles down the road, here he comes. I stopped and he said you were supposed to stop back there. I plead ignorance and he sent me on my way.

    That would entail him actually SEEING the ball.

    Vicksburg is on the Mississippi/Louisiana border, I-20. The scale house on the westbound lane is right at the bottom of a bridge.
