    Well, he could have stopped and called for police help before he went down restricted roads. (If he even did, I'm not so sure he was on the restricted section)
    His decision to keep going was his decision and no one else's. Hopefully next time he gets lost, instead of tearing up infrastructure he will pull over and get help from the local police.

    As always you posting BS. Roads designed to hold emergency vehicles. Fire truck weight is in 38,000 ish. Cars parked along many truck routes in America, for kids playing we have speed limit signs.

    They technically don't have to post any signs. You're supposed to know the limits before you show up.

    Pure nonsense. One fire truck per year does a heck of a lot less damage than ten amazon semis per day.

    I agree and have done that before but yesterday got lost in Allentown, PA. Came to the bridge posted 12'10 or so on one lane road in the morning commute time. No any shoulder to pull over. My bacon was saved by the driver who was behind me and stopped on the distance enough for my maneuvering to turn around.
     
    Coffey, Rojazmorillo and ZVar Thank this.

    If you look at the ticket officer wrote down that i was a black person. He assumed i was black which im not. Do you think i could win with this arguement? Haha

    Good question. The ticket fine is steep I would use any chance to dismiss or lessen.

    Wrong. There are streets that can not handle the weight. Fire trucks have to use other routes, run smaller trucks. This is why some fire company’s have medium and light duty trucks.

    they can’t always bury the sewer, water, gas lines that deep enough.
