    Look at the stats for the whole population of Afghanistan and your statement doesn't hold up. You have to compare apples to apples.

    Well now i've head everything i just thought truck stops like the J and Pilot would resort to Towing offending trucks away , sounds just like the good old wild west days when those with the biggest and fastest guns ruled the roost.

    What's wrong with that bridge?
    The one they are talking about is a 2 lane road and extremely narrow. I've had mirrors hit twice on it.

    I don’t have a problem with it, but it freaks enough people out around these parts that they’re afraid to drive over it. :biggrin_2552:

    I think where people go wrong is looking over at the other span.

    Yes! It is extremely narrow. When you meet another big rig your tires are nearly rubbing the side of the bridge. Clearly was designed long ago.

    A VERY LONG time ago. 1929 according to Wikipedia.
    There are a couple pictures on the wiki page but they don't really give a feel for how narrow it is.

    So are some of these thugs!
    St. Louis/East St. Louis,Gary,Birmingham,Nashville,Camden,Trenton,Houston,Dallas,Paterson,Jersey City-there are certain parts of these cities you don’t dare go unless you’re carrying “hardware”-or traveling with mobilized infantry!!

    No biggie, except for the fact that at least two of those places would frown on the “hardware”.
