    That's the way they usually do it. I think I see now. If they blew the coop at Benton they were chased down brought back and inspected?

    Right. They were pulled over and inspected right where they stopped. I counted three that ran it.

    I opted for 59 to 79 in to Shreveport this morning. Then continued up 79 to 530. Wasn't bad lol

    I haven't tried that
    I always take 49 out of Shreveport
    Dang nice stretch of road
    But if I had come out of Houston today, I probably would've done that too

    They should have also been given an English proficiency field exam while they were there just for information gathering purposes. That way they could know if they were illiterate or just incapable of following instructions.

    Did they have signs on both sides of the road far enough ahead of the exit ramp?
     
    wore out Thanks this.

    They usually use those big electronic portable signs before the 118 then one after you round the little curve. I can't see how you could mistake what's taking place
     
    Rusty Trawler Thanks this.
