Mad Max: glue pieces of inner tube all over it. Flat black paint isn't all that sturdy, maybe black duct tape. Or gaffer tape, which is more expensive but better.

You missed the point Scott. It was interesting to read that a police officer stated that speeding was necessary. Duh. -Dave >You missed the point Scott.

The moral of the story is ticky-tacky laws selectively enforced. The cop admitted it isn't a free country and he and his fellow thugs get to act out on their personal biases because everyone is violator of the law. > You missed the point Scott. It was interesting to read that a police > officer stated that speeding was necessary. I got stuck in another traffic jam today. I got through about 2 km of the jam and up to the obstruction. The obstruction was a minivan driver going 80 in the passing lane while driving next to a truck. That caused traffic speeds to drop from 130 to 70 in about a minute, and traffic more than 2 km back was almost stopped. Once in front of the LLB, the traffic speeds quickly increased and the traffic density decreased. These LLBs are the cause of almost all traffic congestion. It only takes one stupid LLB to make a roadway unusable. |
