There will still be trucks, because some will do it illegally to try and skip the weigh stations.

I think the issue is that you have to have IE9 or another browser

Seems that way... I will have to sign when I get home, since work computers use IE.

I don't understand that area....never been there...but....from the outside looking in it seems completely stupid to me that they'll patrol that road intensely...write speeding tickets hand over fist....while not writing driving in the wrong lane tickets....why it isn't just common sense to not allow semi's to drive on that road when it is physically impossible for them to do so in their own lane.

I know what the answer is.....there is money to be made from writing a high volume of expensive speeding tickets...but....doesn't safety get a hearing at some point too?

They write tickets to trucks sometimes too. Sometimes they just escort them through. Tenn cops are pretty good about truckers when they actually see them.

Tenn cops aren't writing speeding tickets hand over fist either. They have been real decent about how they patrol the area.

Signed..

Some times I just think it's almost all about revenue generation and the excuse that's given is that it's for safety.

Example - 35 mph 4 lane road with a turning lane in the middle where it was previously 45 when it was only a 2 lane road. They widened the road out and DROPPED the speed limit. Put these crazy 20 foot billboards showing a cop sitting there with his radar gun out basically saying go 35 or else. They would setup at the end of the road with 15-20 cops and go up and down the road pulling ppl over left and right for doing 40 in a 35. Telling me that's for safety?

They've relaxed it now I guess because enough people have complained, but they still sit up and down the road.. it's a straight shot for about 5 miles with way too many traffic lights. On any typical day I see 5-10 cops on my hour commute (each way) to work.

Yesterday I saw 2 cops sitting in a parking lot then down the road 5 more cops had ppl pulled over all in a line. I usually average 50 down the road because anything else is just too fuckin slow.

rumor has it...a guy won a lawsuit over a ticket at the dragon because they have the road posted at 30mph but they never legally changed the speed so offically on the books. it is still 55mph

I heard somewhere that IE users are less intelligent. I think that's the real problem with those guys. :lol:

:lol:

Yes, but WHY?

Isn't taking a semi through that road EVERY bit as "reckless", given that it is IMPOSSIBLE for them to do so and remain safely in their own lane, as driving/riding 25+ mph over the speed limit? If not more?
