    that's what i am thinking, bang up those fines into the stratosphere.

    minimum of $10,000 to start, several points on the CDL, and of course maybe do an inspection of the truck and driver to garner more points on the PSP. (or whatever it is called nowadays)

    The people that ignore multiple signs are not going to fear paying a trillion dollar fine.

    Of course he can't read or speak English. Probably wouldn't have mattered.

    They actually close it in the winter …… I’ve skied smugglers notch and you have to go all the way around Stowe even in a 4 wheel drive . There’s absolutely no reason to be on that road in a truck unless your going to the ski area .

    That's a good point of their Super Trucker mentality.
