    Why is it always someone else’s fault. If you’re going to drive until they stop you at least you should be full of fuel and full of groceries if not in today’s world with all this technology shut it down before you get there. No excuses

    I think the catch is shutting it down AT and EXIT. Not in between them. Or do you want to stop people from getting off?

    I'd probably be pretty pissed if the morons shut down the interstate when there wasn't even any major snowing going on but that is where we are headed here in Idiotville. They already shut down the schools and sometimes entire regions before a snowstorm that the next day never even happens.


    As more and more incompetent snowflakes, who had to be walked to the school bus by their parents, going to schools that teach them nothing useful at all, start taking over things it's just going to get worse and worse.

    I took a day off a couple weeks ago for a dental appointment. My company sent me across the country, I missed out on a load, drove my car 4 hours home from the terminal, woke up for the appointment the next day and saw a little ice and snow, easily drove a couple miles to the dentist and found out that the entire place took the day off and didn't tell anybody but they sure were calling me 2 days earlier making sure that I was going to be there on the appointment date or else I'll have to pay a fine for not showing up.

    Alot of people are ill prepared because if they get in a jam, wheter its a flat tire or a breakdown or whatever, all they have to do is pick up the fone and call for help.
    I discovered this in my years doing Triple A roadside.

    Well as some folks find out, help isnt always a fone call away.
     
    Final Drive, bzinger and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    I remember a doctors office like that. Assessing a fine because you couldn't make an appointment. I'd rather just flip them the bird, call them wannabe cops for "assessing fines" and find another doctor.
