    First time I’ve seen a lift jack being used for other than lifting a car to replace a tire!

    I-287 scales in jersey near edison/440 split those jackwads hardly close the scale when traffics in the driving lane. I've yet to be pulled in when i keep the hammer down. Same with the scales on I-78near near the gap. Just wait til some 4 wheeler gets killed.

    Way way back that exact thing happened on the I-81 north bound coop just as you come into ny. They didn't open for the longest time after that. Now it's pretty much oversize staging area

    I blew past that one yesterday. The line was all the way back to the get on ramp for the exit behind it. Not worth getting slammed into or a 4 wheeler not paying attention all for them to check the ground pressure.

    Yea i try to avoid that way as much as possible. Going to Bayonne everyday (shipper + rec shut down due to covid19) I run 80 across the gap to nj24 to 78. The coop at the gap i always get green im hardly 60k.

    Lay on the horn and throw flares out the driver side window to warn the general public.

    I took 287 to avoid the GW Bridge, first time I have ever seen it that backed up. I honestly don’t think that they even had a chase car, nor did I see anyone pulled over for running it.

    Everyday occurrence there. They can be real anal on 287. Few years ago my dad got pulled in their. Went over everything with a fine tooth comb and the only thing they found was a wheel seal just starting to leak, and not much. Wrote 3 diff tickets for the same seal.
