Hi Michael, What they haven't thought of are overweight trucks. Some truckers who are paid by the pound/mile overload. A truck that is supposed to weigh 80K might weigh 150K. These trucks break up the road below them, particularly if the road is made of glass. The driver probably won't know the real capacity of the road surface. He reasons that the road doesn't obviously degrade under his wheels that very minute. He will be genuinely surprised if he hits a glass road and sees it shattering in pieces in his west coast mirrors. Now, if the roads didn't carry any trucks - but where are roads like that? -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
