    I did go back to take pictures that show the quick left curve. Maybe they will help.

    Get one today. Should have had one yesterday, but that is neither here or there.

    Lawyer up, and get ready to fight. If anything your actions will get the State to dance on the Construction Boss's heads to fix the problems.

    And get a pair of night glasses that filter blue light and generally yellow lenses. They will give you that margin of error between having a problem or seeing just enough to get through it.

    I sometimes use my sunglasses in areas of extreme light pollution from all sources. It's that bright and really dangerous. I remember Maryland had a porta flood light stadium tower on a trailer mounted aiming 4 big ones dead against my lane. It was not welcome. But they did it on purpose during the reconstruction of the highway.

    New account, 3 posts, and all in this thread. I read 12 words of the first post. Don't feed the trolls.

    That is all.

    these officers seam to be very quick to write up a ticket for you i wonder how they'd feel for getting a ticket i mean seriously they can go around shooting whoever they please and get off for it yet will write you up for some bad road conditions and you happen to go off the road what is really happening to traffic enforcement.

    I didn't force you to enter my thread. I agree the first post was better written than most. However, if you mistook it for fiction, then have a Coke and smile

    Everyone has to have a first post....
    Anything else that makes to think that? Personally I don't see it as a troll, just someone that maybe lurked here and when something happened created an account.

    This sort of thing happens a lot here - a hardly believable situation posted as the first post by a new member. Your only saving grace is that you actually stuck around to follow up. Can you blame me for being skeptical?

    I don't see what's so "hardly believable" about his situation. The highway departments and their contractors seem to put drivers in untenable situations in too many cases, and the cops are too often too fast on the draw in attributing blame when drivers fall victim to it; and this is especially true when the cop has the choice of blaming a driver or blaming his employer, which is the state or a county thereof.
