    No surprise as to the culprit. I know this one pretty well -

    You need to have the app, which I don't and won't. Lol

    Sorry - I’ll see if I can find it somewhere.

    It’s a trashy app that I use to get local news. Not on FB, and it’s hard getting any local stuff otherwise.

    It’s a weird spot. You pass a Goodyear tire and a bus depot on the way down from the roundabout. It is posted, and you can carefully back out of it, if you’re a good driver -

    By the looks of it, the driver FULLY committed to it.

    Everything aside, can’t these drivers tell just by looking at it they’re not going to fit?

    I can definitely tell when they are around 13’ 8”
    Freaks me out a little. Saw one somewhere in Texas that wasn’t marked and I put my flashers on and stopped then slowly inched up to it. I made it under no problem but man did I look too low.
