    That's a better idea than these guys who watch their left mirror fly off from contact before steering to the right lol

    Just wait until you run highway 16 from Hinton down to Tête Jaune and then take 5 south. Some nights I've driven it there is only a 12 foot swath plowed straight down the middle of the roads. The plowed portion has 2" of snow already built up and the unplowed portion has 6+ inches of snow. Of course everyone wants to be in the plowed portion so you're dodging pretty much every vehicle coming at you.

    Having a tenth of the population kind of heavily contributes to the lack of infrastructure maintenance. But the major contributing factor to the condition of our roads is higher gross/axle group weight maximums stressing the pavement and sharp contrast between winter and summer temperatures causing heaves.

    Also, on the topic of weight, there is a much lower amount of enforcement present on the roads, leading to more opportunities to run overweight.
