Well, that outta generate some well-needed revenue. keep up the good work. They have still not learned to slow down and quit tailgating. I watched 17 cars, yes 17 cars following a slow pick-up with a trailer, and between all 17 followers, there could not have been ten feet between them, some even closer. 5 am in the morning coming up RT 4.
