    That's mainly because the Oregon Highway patrol is ruthless and everywhere.

    Oregon has to have the most weigh stations per square mile than any other state as well. #### things are everywhere.

    You're right. Oregon is psychotic about weigh stations. I sometimes wonder the the northernmost weigh station on 97 is permanently closed.

    Ok, hold on a sec, that's not cut and dry. My daughter just bought a BMW, she's a great driver, I TAUGHT HER, and my best friend drives a Prius, puts on almost 50K miles a year, has over 250K on the Prius, all safe driving and would put some of these drivers here to shame. They can cram that poll with walnuts.:biggrin_25512: I'd say the #1 jerks are these honchos in their Ram dually's that ride your tail. Think they're G-ds gift to the world.

    That's just TWO people. If you haven't encountered a driver speeding in a BMW or someone in a Prius driving like an idiot, then you haven't been on the road much.
     
    Joetro, Lepton1 and 201 Thank this.
